Soon after the Everquest servers came up, they went right back down for an emergency patch. Given the magnitude of the patch, I don't think anyone is really surprised by that development. There is no estimated time when they will be coming back up. I'll try to keep you posted. And yes, our site is running very slow right now. We are doing about 5 times our normal load right now and the later in the day the EQ servers stay down, the higher our load gets. Illia has been working on the servers all day to keep them going, but this many requests are bound to bog down the databases somewhat. We are sorry for the inconvienience.
