Aradune Unplayable (Error - A timeout occurred, Server isn't responding....et cetera)

Zones took forever, people crashed, chat lag, et cetera et cetera.

been in a loading screen for 10 minutes now... are the people that left because of the long queue times coming back for the exp bonus and breaking the server?

Lag crashed my entire group on zoning - now can't log back in. Getting the error that the server is not responding for multiple players. Server has been so bad for Chat and Zoning today

Unable to log into Aradune, server not responding and you have been disconnected error. And now I am unable to log into a different server to try and play elsewhere as I am stuck waiting for the currently logged in player to be removed from the world. Occasionally I get an "unknown error occurred" with this.

I hope the Devs get wind of this and try and get a fix going soon

No reason to believe they're not aware of it. The problem is there are two fixes. Option 1 costs DBG money, option 2 requires less people to play.

It'll all be over in a week and back to 'normal' so they aren't going to spend money now for only a week's worth of traffic. As soon as I saw it was 76% bonus exp I already knew the servers were going to be unstable at best and completely down at worst.

You don't have to be a dev or even work for DPG to be able to predict this is exactly what was going to happen.

Congrats on you hardware update that you, we, and everyone knew was going to break . Bravo.

God I am so fed up... everything was working great for a week no issues
and I see "Server update" today
and just knew we'd have issues tonight.

For what it's worth - if you're online and _in a zone_ the game is running great.

It's the logging in, zoning, and chat that's broken - and it's not specific to Aradune.

in that case Hadce, what was the point in the Hardware update to make the server more stable and playable

Much more stable today, though sending a tell currently has a rather lengthy time period before it lands.

And zoning times are still measured in minutes.

Server is slow ....even creating a character is slow. Can DPG replace the old mice at the server wheels for new ones???

Game is still not playable on Aradune, spent 20 minutes trying to zone from neriak commons to neriak foreign quarter.

Leave it to DBG to fail at everything they do!

Oh look its post 7pm EST, Server is completely un-usuable. BIG SURPRISE! Why do yall suck so bad at you jobs?
