ment cst not est... cant type today lol

I got all the downloaded files, hit play, it tells me "The game is currently running" or something like that, and it just sits there. EDIT: While typing this it loaded to character screen, with everything locked, and the little running dragon at the bottom of that screen.
Frankly, I'd rather wait longer than be rushed into the game only to be kicked out again due to problems.

I can understand issues with going live, but the lack of status updates is very unprofessional. They could at least put up the new Everquest 2 website with maybe a blurb about ironing out some issues rather than going live and upsetting people with bugs etc. To see an Undergoing Maintenance page is uncomforting; I think I'd rather see a 404 page.

There have been updates via twitter and Facebook. Currently still no new ETA.
[EDIT] To note that I'm /not/ saying anyone should have to use either to keep updated, nor that updates shouldn't also be posted on the official forums. Just trying to help.

While I might have been inclined at one point in time to agree with you, sadly this is the norm for any game with an online component. I have yet to be involved in an MMO where the CS gave anything close to regular updates about offline status. When does the unprofessional become the professional?

And as for the Twitter and Facebook updates. That's sort of a load of crock. The forums are their MAIN source of disseminating information to the masses. I'm willing to bet only a fraction of the player-base is having anything to do with EQII in their FB/Twitter accounts.

awesome....so I can log in to FB....go find EQ2's site, sift through their crap there, and go make a twitter account, and clutter my online stuff up more....because we ALL have to have FB and twitter and be fans of EQ2 on em to boot. As previously stated, this is the MAIN source of information for EQ2, not facebook, and not twitter.
The unprofressional becomes the professional when the professional adopt the unprofessional as standards of practice and it becomes the accepted professional to the masses in spite of its unprofessional nature.

tick tock... this is annoying

I guess I'm used to MUDs in the 90s where they would cut over one server at a time and actually provide status updates. Heck, maybe my memory isn't as good as it once was but I don't remember the original EQ being as bad as the industry has become.

Their Forums are right here.

I just may, lol. <Looking for my puTTY thumbdrive.>

New update on Facebook say's not until 8pm PST or later

time for some beer, pizza, and a movie

We have to check FB for a status update?? Really?? I would think that SOE would want to have better control over their official sources of information. I am gobsmacked that they aren't posting status here, in the OFFICIAL thread.

I was on for a short time earlier, at that point I got in far enough to see that my most recently played "live" character was available to play. Now if only I could get him from Butcherblock server to Freeport server where my current guild is, without paying $25.

I find that the game has gotten rid of the days I should have to play...now it wants to make me a trial account. Is there any info on this type of error?
