umm and idea how long servers going to be down?Follow

First off you better watch your shaking fist ('damn those fist shaking laws' Homer Simpson) lol no jk bud. Yes I was quiet upset about the long time but i figured with the time and since im only level 6 i can decide a new path and all that fun stuff. Well just about 30 minuets ago i checked online to my charas and im now level 4 boy i wasnt mad but when i checked my dads charas i thought WOA! man i hope that was the level after the patch yesterday. cuz damn if thats wht the rollback did than wow im glad im back to 4 and not going from 20 to 4 lol. well enough nonsense. no eqii for me this weekend. :( oh well i think the game might be here when i get back on monday. THat is if no one or groups of people or the whole community decides to riot in the game and cause the whole game to collapse within itself taking them months to repair the game. AHH

And yes I do have too much free time on my hands so :-P.

Lol well enough taking about nothing everyone enjoy your time waiting for the servers to get back online. BYE BYE.

Oh yeah and there is also a game i read about Anarchy Online. PLayed it too for a month (free :-D) but i hear now that it is completely free just takes like 3 hours to dl completely. oh well its really like EQ 1 but more into the future. Well bye bye now.

whats even funnier, is the forums are down now as well. guess they got tired of people complaining.

well 4 hours until work. And i thought i was going to level LAST NIGHT. w/e

How does one make a character on the test server? Does it take one of your four char slots?

I think the rollback is going to MUCH further than they say... I bought alot of new armor the day before the update, and I equipped it before I logged off. When I look at my toon in the selection area, i am wearing all of my old armor and have lost a level... If they are having this much trouble, they may have to do a complete reset... though I hope not for their sake and the sake of everyone who has gotten to a significant level.

Ok..Im a little late with my update, heres the 411: For those that skipped the previous pages, I have a contact within Sony..hes Earl the janitor. Please refer back to my previuous postings for more info on Earl:

Remember, this is in all confidentiality, anything that is said here is and will be denied by me..the insider. My goal is to provide those dedicated subscribers the information that Sony has neglected to provide to us:

The accidental pulling of the plug has induced a catastophic cascade of server shutdowns..the outcome is unclear, and as just getting off the cellphone with the Earlmeister (whos risking his job to bring us this information btw) He had been listening in on a meeting with the bigwigs at Fony..err Sony. They were gearing up to provide all of us hardcore and dedicated subscribers a free cupon for the 'new'! slimmer more compact version of the PS2..and one free game of our choice! Then Earl again mumbled something about sales that were dying because of microsoft or something...the last words from Earl I heard before I lost contact was 'conspiracy'....and then static.

Please keep your thoughts with Earl in this tragic time, hes doing his best to keep us all updated on the problems at hand.Ill post again in one hour. :)

Oh..Jakstrw? Earl risked it, Puddlejumpers a go when the servers come back up :)

OH i am sooo bored, rumour has it there rolling it back to 4pm GMT yesterday, sorry cant work out ur american times :P

it always makes me laugh me *** off when idiots who think they work for SOE make all this crap up

haha keep em coming im enjoying youre stupidity

In my opinion Sony Online Entertainment is not handling this situation well in the least bit. They were unable/unwilling to communicate any details (unless you count: "we have no ETA", which I do not) to their customers. If they had stated what the problem was along with a ballpark figure of when the servers might be playable again, I think it would have gone a lot better. Furthermore, with the official forums going down, the situation has worsened. What are they thinking?

I seriously doubt they took the forums down on purpose. I don't think the software/servers they operate on where designed for the kind of load that hundreds of thousands of angry customers on a Saturday morning would generate.

edit:

I just tried hitting refresh a few times and it finally connected. the forums aren't down, they're just extremely overloaded.

I can now get my the character screen, but when I try to "play" it says "zone temperarily unavailable".

We will be opening up Guk shortly to a limited audience. When we have enough characters in the world, we will lock the server and monitor it to make sure all is well. Thanks again for being so patient as we work to get all of the servers back up and running.
