Stability AB

Whole group disconnected mid HA (Helping Hand ) 12.15 GMT
10 mins looking at the black disconnected screen then back to char select.
Click enter and after 2-3 mins , the server is not responding
rebooted the game and out of the instance and in the middle of ETW non instance
Got back to the instance and had had a roll back , however mobs we had killed we still dead so not enough left to finish the stage .. abandoned HA

Poof Bazaar

Lost connection on three accounts while in Caverns of Endless Song HA at Sunday, 04 October, 11:15 am.

Instance had not died, 2 characters that were on aggro were at zone in and third at the spot where I was. The progression on instance was also saved.

This seemed similar to when we had login server issues and you got booted out.

and another disconnect just 5 mins ago - not in an instance and both world and Zone Shows uptime of 8 days -
wonder how many weeks we will tolerate that...

few days outage is pretty ok but paying a monthly fee for a game you can hardly play at all like that doesn't feel right - my boss would kill me if our Servers where down for more than 2 days ...

Daybreak, please sort this out. I have never experienced any worse stability than I have with Antonius Bayle. The technical issues with this server are making more and more people turn away from the game, and cancel their accounts. And, because this is the ONLY EU server, the majority of the people affected by this are EU players, and simply moving to a non-EU server will impose problems trying to group, raid, otherwise get progression done, which will inevitably cause us all to stop playing and cancel our accounts.

Sort it out, please.

Just in the new guild hall on own.

Everything in common seems to be: EQZONE-40.everquest.com

have we only got one zone server now?

Just logged trader back on as no point trying to play without stability..... trader down so obviously another crash logged him back on and it took two minutes for a bazaar search to come back with a result when there are only 22 in the bazaar! Here comes another crash..... third since last night?? or more??

DBG, if you plan on wiping AB to be finally able to reduce costs just announce it and merge the server or offer free transfer tokens claimable once per character (Character! not account!). Do not try to grab still more money of us by trying to scare us into buying the server transfer tokens ourselves -.-

Successful zone to lobby zone server is 42, so thats the idea out of only one zone server effecting it:

An unkown error at server select.!

Mega lag in combine -a tell sent 2 mins ago still hasnt appeared

And disconnect both accounts

Unknown error at server select some minutes ago. Able to log in again now.

Not buying the expansion for any of my accounts until AB gets fixed.

15.47 UK - massive lag, and I think server about to boot us all out. Guild MOTD not updating, tells not going through, same symptoms as every other time this happens.

Raid in 2 hours .... unlikely to be a good night.

The lack of a suitable solution is bad, the lack of communication towards paying customers is a disgrace.
It is not enough to say "we acknowledge that there is an issue, now tell us "when and where did you crash" when this topic has been about for 6 weeks and more.

My account will run out on November 9th, if the topic isn't solved by then, I will go F2P, because there is no way I will pay for something I cannot use. Just fyi, I haven't had a break in payment since I started playing in 2000...

Main account (this) running out of days in 32 days
1st box account runnig out of days in 7 days
2nd box account running out of days in 1 day
3rd box account running out of days in 1 day

Not buying the expansion on any of those 4 (they have all TDS expansion) and cancelling the suscription on all boxes as I write this. Main account will follow if the issue is not solved either closing server and providing free account moves to a new server or whatever you decide or are able to do and possibly some kind of ingame/subscription reimboursement .

so I get booted trying to zone into OGH from OGV after doing task and poof to server logon saying AB down but second account trader in bazaar and all ok (well I say ok, apart from the huge delays in searching for items) plus when zoning from time to void it took over a minute as I lefty to walk dogs trader was still up but AB down.... now back can get in and trader still up

Out of curiosity: How come Razgadz' Open Letter to Holly got rolled up with 3 other threads to hide it quickly, while The Open Letter regarding the Lockjaw Rotation is still there, 38 pages strong?

Are you sure that TLPs are now your prime customers? Sure, with the expansions yet to unlock on TLP, you got that covered for YEARS until they start to want new content. If one of the TLPs had the problems AB has since 6 whole weeks, heads would be rolling and DBG management would not only try their best to solve the issues yesterday, but hand out massive compensation to keep them birdies happy.

I will also be one of those players not buying the new expansion or any renewed subscriptions on any of my six accounts until these issues are resolved to our satisfaction. I might not be around since 1999, but January 2006 is still a lot of active customership.
