Emergency maintenanceFollow

Looks like they're fixing the servers. Its only effecting NA/EU servers and says it'll be down for 3 hours.

Someone, I don't remember who on here, suggested it could be equipment problems at the data center. Maybe.

Yea, I barely caught it in the chat log going by. Maybe a 5 minute warning, if that.

On the boss of Tam Tara...nice warning SE! Lol. Oh well, guess it's probably better or else I would have just been up until 5 am and then tired as **** tomorrow at work. I guess it was SE's way of telling me to go to bed.

So mad, I was literally about to log out and was walking to the Inn so I would have rested XP for the entire week when I log back on. Now I guess I won't get the chance :( Thanks SE for ******** me out of all that extra XP............

It's not optimal, but they're probably wanting to test the 'fix' during the remaining time left before OB is over, since it's related to so many users' log-in troubles. They really should go ahead and extend OB until Tuesday since we're now out of NA/EU prime-time as it is, and make sure it doesn't repeat itself.

I love this idea. The next 2 days are the first 2 days I don't have 12 hour shifts since before open beta started. Who's a$$ do I need to kiss to make this happen

Taking the servers down until there is only an hour and a half left in the beta window.

Do you think they might extend the beta window until tomorrow to see if they sorted any of the issues out?

I'm gonna risk it here. I hate being bad due to lag. I can fix poor playing, lag is a different issue.

Did everyone else get the error 90000 before being booted? Want to make sure everyone I'm not the only one...

Not sure what the error code was, but it was a Visual C++ Runtime error. An invalid virtual procedure call or some such.

I don't understand why everyone reverts to this argument. Not saying necessarily that you're the main culprit, but it was the last straw for me when I read it.

How would SE not have expected this sort of NA/EU turnout for players? They sent out all the invites! They have the exact number of the maximum potential players they were going to let onto those servers. I just don't understand how "they were blindsided by the NA/EU turnout" is even a logical arguemnt.

Edit: Venting aside, I really hope this maintenance works. Though there will be minimal time to guarantee it's a fix rather than a band-aid, it will show that they have the tools/method to address it in the future if the problem ever reoccurs.

since they shut down the servers and I have the retarded code 3102 would my character be logged out to since evidently he was still in game but never left it
