    Cloudflare is not a hosting site, it's more like a layer of protection between the servers and the public. To prevent DDoS and other security/reliability concerns.

    It's a very widely used service and probably helps prevent more downtime than it causes.

    I believe they are hosted by AWS (Amazon Web Services) - who show no issues currently.

    As Prophecychild said the Cloudflare service is a layer of additional protection from net based attacks like DDoS so likely explains why a lot of services are having a problem right now.

    In game on 3 accounts after bypassing launcher but lag is huge & no Universal Chat Service or mail functionality right now.

    i.e group invite:
    12:22:50 You invite Zuks to join your group
    12:26:46 Zuks has joined the group

    12:27:20 You invite Mukesh to join your group
    12:29:15 Mukesh has joined the group

    so if cloudflare is just an extra security step and AWS is the hosting site and they are not currently experiencing any issues then why cant I log in ? and I'm still having log in issues and the website seems flaky still

    Ya I cant log in .. when I try to bypass launcher (which I usually do all the time cause i use IS Bxr) I keep getting login error if I do happen to make it to the server select screen then after it loads and just before I get to the character select I get an EQgame window popup stating game crashed ..

    when I try to run the launcher I get Launchpad was unable to connect screen ..

    It took me multiple attempts bypassing launcher too, but it's really not worth the effort at the moment, its completely unplayable with the lag.

    Taking almost 90 seconds for any single action to happen.
