This is rediculous.

Please post in this thread if you are currently having problems logging in or zoning. Looking at the server right now it looks to be running okay.

The sad thing the problem has not even been acknowledged by SOE. This has been happening on some servers ever since BG went live, it is just particularily bad tonight. They have not done anything about it as of yet so I wouldn't hold my breath guys. Everything is working as intended.

This zone took a total of 38 minutes.

NaeenSpeedbringer · 04-20-2010, 10:59 PM

that's our first called raid due to this zoning crap. that's your freebie, sony.

on the next one, you can expect a good portion of my guild to be cancelling our subs.

Spritelady · 04-20-2010, 10:59 PM

48 minutes trying to zone into Demetrik's Bastion...

Could someone at SOE post that they acknowledge the problem and are working on it please?

Azurro · 04-20-2010, 11:00 PM

This is insane. Takes over 30 minutes to zone into VD and half the people go LD along the way. Anouther raid called due to SOE's inability to even have a game that does the most basic things like let you play it.

If this was the first time this happened it would be funny. At this point it's just a testament to the sad state the game is in.

I posted two links above where two different devs acknowledged the issue in two different threads. One of them is the new SP. Not sure what more you want.

Hecula · 04-20-2010, 11:03 PM

I'm glad the new SP is getting an eyefull of this. This is beyong ridiculous now. Shut it all down, restart it, whatever it takes.

38min???? How the heck you zoning so fast?

MSB9380 · 04-20-2010, 11:04 PM

I am happy that I pay a subscription fee to not only NOT get to play the game, but I get to look at those awesome loading screens inbetween the RIDICULOUSLY long load times. I've only been playing this game since the expansion, and if this is the greatness that is SOE, I won't be here for the next one. This is pathetic. Fix your crap network issues so I can play what I am paying for.

hempick · 04-20-2010, 11:13 PM

On Mistmoore. I've been trying to zone into Nektulos Forest for about 10 minutes now.

Maybe because NEITHER of those posts have anything to do with GAMEWIDE server issues? One is About Runneye (why the heck wiuld I care about a server I ain't on?) and the other is on the ZAM interview which also has nothing in the title to do with GAMEWIDE server issues.

Jacobian21 · 04-20-2010, 11:16 PM

Yah, nektulos having issues as well... been zoning into labs for 20 minutes already.

This is rediculous.... I have spent the last 2.5hrs doing nothing but seeing receiving zone info! How are you supposed to "play a game" like this??

Seriously? ... lol! SmokeJumper's post was a direct reply to a person asking him to look at the server issues. I just don't get how you can POSSIBLY say that particular post that I quoted has nothing to do with the server problems simply because the title doesn't say that lol!

Maybe they're.... *gasp* WORKING ON IT?! seriously... first people are crying for acknowledgement, then I link the acknowledgement and that isn't good enough. I'm not even a fanboi (fangurl?) and generally don't cut them a whole lot of slack, but SERIOUSLY, give them a break. Would it be better if they were spending more time replying to every thread about this instead of actually figuring it out and fixing it?

Have you ever been placed on hold before? IF there is music you can say hey this is annoying but the music lets you know you are still connected. If there is silence you are not sure if you are still connected, if the know you are there. So yes, it would be better if the took time to update us. Yes, yes, yes.

Amiras · 04-20-2010, 11:41 PM

an hour and 40 minutes forming raid and still waiting on people......game is broken - needs fixed

Actually, most OLA/SLAs I've used (or written) include regular communications to clients/users as part and parcel of the "working on it" process. Even then, it's not like a producer (or every one on a team) is personally involved in the actual act of "clean up" in a situation like this.

Kulaf · 04-20-2010, 11:52 PM

We all know where this is coming from and I am tired of being the test bed for getting BG's working. Turn them off. It's that simple. Turn them off and rework them.....upgrade your servers.......tune your databases......or all of the above. But enough is enough.

Tenchisama · 04-21-2010, 12:07 AM

a last resort option that I wish they would consider

ROLLBACK

/sigh

on the bright side - things that can be done while we watch "Receiving zone Info"

catch up on tv shows on the dvr

go out to the ice cream parlor and come bcak

try in vain to load old SSI games /sigh

=P

Made some modifications -- it should be better now. We will continue to monitor the servers and work on the issue but I think the modifications we have made should bring things back to normal.

I do appreciate you doing what you can, as well as your response to us. However, was this for one, or all of the servers? Because, not to sound like a jerk, but I'm not seeing any change on kithkor and I'm alone, in my house so I can try and place items.

Relaunched the game and still get stuck on Receiving zone info. Is there a server restart we need to wait for or something?

Darksheer911 · 04-21-2010, 12:36 AM

The zoning problem still exists. 5 to 15 min.
