Zoning....What happened

Belven · 04-20-2010, 09:06 PM

Guk.....been zoning for 10 minutes now. Did the update mess something up? Had time to go smoke and post this and still zoning...........

Kain-UK · 04-20-2010, 09:08 PM

Just had the same problem on Antonia Bayle too...

Alenna · 04-20-2010, 09:10 PM

I"m having the same trouble in Guk. this is hte 2nd time I"m stuck at reciving zone info for 5-10 minute

Tkyle1 · 04-20-2010, 09:10 PM

Yeah zoning just went crazy, taking several min's to zone. Just started a few min's ago, rebooted and still didn't help.

I had time to go sit in the bathroom for an entire issue of Reader's Digest, and am still stuck at zoning!

Might as well not even bother raiding tonight at this rate.

Glaxan · 04-20-2010, 09:13 PM

The extra time the raid sits here waiting for people to zone, get kicked off, wait to be able to log back on...its great! I have time to eat dinner, drink some coffee...rebuild the engine in my truck....

Plus, my kids love all the excitement every time the Pony Express shows up at the house to deliver another packet of data while I zone.

Seriously though, I'd be willing to pay a little extra for my subscriptions if that meant SOE could replace the Commodore 64's and Atari 800's they're apparently using for servers.

Optimos · 04-20-2010, 09:16 PM

Maybe they can sell a little USB coin bank that takes quarters to speed up zoning? How's that?

Did you know...

kaboro · 04-20-2010, 09:16 PM

Its not only the zoning to instances thats broken, got stuck zoning to nektulos. I think SoE wants to help me save $15, these guys are just great.

Alenna · 04-20-2010, 09:18 PM

still stuck at recieving zoning info for Stonebrunt highlands. all I want to do is run through the tradeskill dailies.

Dollin · 04-20-2010, 09:19 PM

Same thing on Unrest.. 3 zones in a row, first was 4 min, 2nd was 8 min. and as i'm writing this i'm at 9 min now on recieving zone info. This is unbelievable that this has been going on. .Upgrade the [Removed for Content] hardware already and fix the DB issues.. We pay for this

hazazal · 04-20-2010, 09:19 PM

Everything was fine around 1:00 est when i was on but yeah now this is just insane zoning time.

Undorett · 04-20-2010, 09:22 PM

on guk

After 17 minutes I made it from the guild hall to SF, I have now been stuck zoning for 8 minutes and counting trying to get into Tox Lair

Monotone · 04-20-2010, 09:22 PM

SOE happened....nuff said

Frippaneeni · 04-20-2010, 09:23 PM

Same here. Also, camping to another char using /camp results in the window showing all servers down/offline :/

Good thing they rebooted this morning!

Aral · 04-20-2010, 09:24 PM

Even more fun, when I finally arrived in Sundered Frontier, all my hotbars were blank, and /gu, /who, any commands at all responded with "unknown command" error.

Alenna · 04-20-2010, 09:25 PM

finaly got zoned in after 12 minutes now it is saying my inventory is full.and I have a whole spotted leather bag empty.

Sambone · 04-20-2010, 09:26 PM

Just got stuck waiting to zone out of smuggler's for 10-15minutes..then got booted to select. They gave me the ole server cannot find my character trick. Rerun patcher. Server down. Rerun patcher again. Waiting for zone info. This is Oasis btw.

beaverton · 04-20-2010, 09:34 PM

Just got into game after 15 min....most of my guild is still stuck zoning..dont think we will raid toinight. Raiding is pretty much the only reason I play this game. Please fix this asap or you will lose my sub.

They really must want us to quit. This is really dumb, either fix this mess or disable BG.

Frijoles · 04-20-2010, 09:39 PM

This has been happening on the Oasis server too.

LikeKimmy · 04-20-2010, 09:40 PM

Dear SOE,

If I wanted to waste more of my time I would have stayed at work...fix zone times like yesterday...wait no like 2 months ago when you screwed it up!

Gimme my money back til you get it right

melaine_dvarvensplitter · 04-20-2010, 09:41 PM

Earlier today when alt hopping I was taking 2-10 minutes per alt. This has been happenig for the last 3 days and it started about 2pm Central.

I am very surprised by this massive amount of zoning time. It's been a while since I experienced this kind of zoning times.

Here is hoping for a good and fast fix on the zone times.

I am on AB and the load was medium at the time.

*** Edit server information***

Nueen · 04-20-2010, 09:41 PM

I was zoning so long that Blizzard servers picked up the slack and I was zoned into WoW. Everything works here, it's amazing!

Alenna · 04-20-2010, 09:41 PM

kicked to character sheet as I tried to rezone to Sundered frontier only 4 toons showing again. but the one I was on was not one of them.

NaeenSpeedbringer · 04-20-2010, 09:45 PM

the ineptitude at soe is breathtaking.

maybe they are all out celebrating 4-20. it seems their servers are.

Ember · 04-20-2010, 09:46 PM

+1 on zoning issues

Whole raid is stuck on Receiving zone info. Oh wait, after 20 minutes one person got in! Hopefully that means I only have another 5 minutes for me.
