Login Problems

[Jesusislord]

Just got word from my sources.. the technicians for UO Servers are currently on a 32-Man Heroic Icecrown Citadel run, last I heard, they were almost at the Lich King. Give it another hour or so.. unless they get wiped.. then it may be two.

 

[Eyes of Origin]

Well, heres one thing I noticed... theres almost 400 ppl looking at Stratics... never seen that many ppl and sooooo many ppl looking at the same thread lol

I'm on hold btw... prolly wont get far, but I have nothing better to do other than listen to my guildmates in vent who havent logged out since before the servers went down


hey did you guys ever notice that UO doesnt even have their # to push?


**edit*** ok jacked up... I pushed 8 like it said.. it said please hold... i held and then i just got a messege saying the lines were down and to call back between 9 and 9 or was it 8 and 9 cst

qft

total point of whats wrong with the u.s. right now and a good source of the unemployment. this november vote your standing politician out of office.

Total point of what's wrong with the world....vote out the short sighted people...

I hope no one at EA gets fired over this whole login issue. They really can't afford to lose anymore people.

All that's left is probably Janitors!

Hi, my name is Paolo. How may I help you? [07:41:49 PM]
Vanmorison: hell [07:42:09 PM]
Vanmorison: opps sorry, i mean hello [07:42:16 PM]
Vanmorison: i was wondering if you can tell me any good news about the uo login servers? [07:42:29 PM]
Vanmorison: cant log in at the moment [07:42:34 PM]
Vanmorison: ?? [07:43:24 PM]
Paolo: Server is currently down, please try to access few hours or a day later [07:43:49 PM]
Paolo: I apologize for inconvenience [07:44:04 PM]
Vanmorison: they are going to be down that long? [07:44:44 PM]
Vanmorison: poop on a log, i think we deserve a refund if it is going to be that long [07:45:29 PM]
Paolo: We are working to fix it [07:45:01 PM]
Paolo: It may not down for long [07:45:07 PM]
Vanmorison: ugh, what a big letdown [07:46:26 PM]
Vanmorison: please log my unhappiness with this situation to the head cheeses [07:47:49 PM]
Paolo: I apologize for inconvenience caused [07:48:16 PM]
Vanmorison: who do i talk to about a refund for the time it was down and i couldnt log in?? [07:49:02 PM]
Paolo: We actually do not refund/compensate for down time [07:49:48 PM]
Vanmorison: oh my goodness, no recorse for compensation for downtime on the game end, that is a joke in itself [07:51:17 PM]
Paolo: Please contact us again when server is up, we will see if down time was long and compensation is applicable or not [07:51:44 PM]
Vanmorison: well paolo i feel i have been screwed by a big log and there wasnt any vasoline used [07:52:21 PM]
Paolo: I’m sorry; I didn’t quite understand your last message. [07:52:16 PM]
Vanmorison: i think sand was used for the bleeding is in copeous amounts [07:53:24 PM]
Paolo: Please contact us again when server is up, we will see if down time was long and compensation is applicable or not [07:54:18 PM]
Vanmorison: ok paolo, thanks for your time and the laughs i will tuck my head between my legs and kiss my arse goodbye for the thought of not getting into UO is just complete unhappiness, goodbye [07:56:20 PM]

I'm just happy to see that it's not my computer! And Thank God for Stratics! Nothing on the UO site about it (of course). At least here we can see that, okay, it's their problem, not ours.

 

[Trebr Drab]

 

[uoBuoY]

Trying to login for ~2 hours...
My plants will suffer
My chicken eggs will be painfully dry
My fish will experience physical hardships
I, myself, am suffering extreme UO withdrawal

Don't forget about the tamed pets....

Just checked the UO facebook and twitter and no info available. Not a big surprise mind you.

You know of course that it's been nearly 3 hours...so,..once the login servers are up, THEN we'll see a msg on hearld or whatever about them being down..actually, that msg will prob be posted a few hours AFTER they're back up, then another post only minutes later will show that the servers are up!

Great communicatin EA/Mythic....great

 

[Kellgory]

If you want to be really mean to your non-Stratics reading guildmates, just post a comment in Vent that if your unable to log into UO it is because your account got perma banned...See email.

 

[FireKitten]

I dinn"t eat the hamsters! HONEST!snap:

 

[Braun]

If you have 22 accounts you need therapy.

Oh, you may be perfectly right about the therapy. However, it isnt because of Ultima or anything related to it. lol

Holy Hell that was the first post that actually had me rollin.... so does anyone want to email me their client file? I am in Iraq and cant patch from here for some reason... thanks all

 

[Vampyre Kitty]

I dont normally b*tch and whine on the boards but c'mon already.. 3+ hrs now and not a damn word about anything.? Granted I assume they all went home for the evening but one would think they would have some kinda on call staff thing if something goes wrong. I'd call EA and ask but seeing how it's like I'm talking to someone on another planet half the time I figure why bother. Very rarely do I get someone who knows wth they are talking about sadly. From the looks of the other posts of people calling in, seems like EA just gives the usual generic response... how lame.

 

[Takissis]

Cute.

Its 10 or 25 man raids, never 32, and the Lich King and several bosses leading to him aren't available yet.

Whoever your sources are, they are not very reliable.

[Big Wang]

FIX IT NOW!!!




3 hrs later...

 

[Kirthag]

as i play my city, i realize that EA owns that one too... & I look @ my massive game collection.... more than half have EA logos....

Microsoft, Apple or Linux will not rule the world.. EA will...









ok. switch to Spore...

DOH!!!n Another EA GAME!!!


AUGH!!!

 

[Thashinel]

The one thing that really pisses me off though, come Monday I doubt we will see an officially posted apology.

 

[Toolbox2010Leg]

Then its going to take forever for people like me that ping 2400+ to log in once they do come up due to everyone and their mother flooding the system... probably send it right back down again...and the military thinks combat gives me stress and makes me want to shoot people.... its really EA that does it!!!

 

[Kirthag]

...and the military thinks combat gives me stress and makes me want to shoot people.... its really EA that does it!!!

uhm.... last I checked... that's your JOB!

 

[mrrippletip]

hmm

sounds like they finally got around to laying the hamsters off too


maybe EA is using this opportunity to fix all the Archery/Skill Cap exploits being used atm?

and maybe i have some prime oceanfront property in Nebraska

wakawakawaka

There better be a big-time revert!

 

[gjohnson5]

OH for pity sakes! Someone fire the Janitor! Can't believe this... didn't we just have this problem? Do you feel the deja vu???? Voda Daj???? Anyone?

Tell the dang Janitor that he can't unplug that for the vacuum! Please!

For the love of..... pete.

Looks like it's still broke
Anyone else still having troubles?

Thanks for what you are doing for us, Toolbox. My son is headed over in October...sooner if the U.S. Army changes his plans. On another note, three plus hours of reading the posts, and I'm headed to bed. Good luck you guys on getting on b4 Monday. *smacks husband who is STILL playing*

 

[kelmo]

Wow! I do not think I have ever seen this many people viewing a thread.

 

[rayvowrath]

sheesh, get a life

 

[Toolbox2010Leg]

that WAS my job, my first two deployments... the military is a lot softer now... its more of a peacekeeping mission than anything.... they changed the rules of engagement so much that soldiers now actually have to think before they return fire or they could easily end up doing life in prison. The whole war, excuse me, "conflict" as NObama calls it has really become a festival to feed politicians pockets and makes us look quite (for lack of a better word even existing) "Passified" <--- replace the A with a U.... i feel like im in garrison but with people shooting at me and trying to blow me up.... just cant defend myself...I CANT WAIT TO GO HOME!

 

[Nukeworker]

Btw what is the record downtime in the history of UO for login probs? Maybe we reach a new record

 

[Thashinel]

There better be a big-time revert!

There's no revert...there's some bot in Luna on GL spamming about tonights auction as the fourth item in a row has no bids.

Thank you for your support, im going on my 6th non consecutive year in this country... i go home in sep, your son will be in many peoples prayers, including my own

[Kirthag]

Back in the day I remember the login servers being down for a day or two (or were they up and down for 2 days). In any case... it is bringing back some (not so fond) memories.



@ Toolbox -

I was kidding man. I served as well (pre-Gulf War & during the Gulf War when it wasn't a war) and I know how frustrating it can be. My eldest son is in AIT right now.... prolly going to be sent that way to help with "reconstruction"..... heh


I salute you.

Well thank you.. i kinda figured u were... im just pissed off and want to vent about anything at all... i wish your son the best over here.... it is still a LOT safer than it used to be, especially now that we got MRAP's RG33's and STRYKERS.... not as comfy as a HMMWV though lol....

 

[Tina Small]

The one thing that really pisses me off though, come Monday I doubt we will see an officially posted apology.

Many employees of U.S. companies will have Monday off as the day we officially remember the birth of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. His birthday was actually today (January 15th), but the federal holiday is celebrated on the third Monday of January.

Hooah Toolbox, Gotta love those cross-the-world pings. But I gotta say, the only thing that causes me more stress than UO servers being down, is lag on the Xbox.......

21B, soon to be (hopefully anyways) 11A

So, you are hinting that we may not be playing again until Tuesday?

He meant the next business day...
Yes Monday is a holiday

[pacific cruiser]

welp im done surfing.. looks like uo back in the 90's again with login issues gonna go watch a movie ...maybe someone will finally go reboot the system and we can all play again before server down time..

 

[krvn97]

Back in the day (1999 or 2000 be for tram) I remember the login servers being down on Lake Superior for almost a week. In any case... we had a big protest on Atlantic, gm's came and put us all in jail it was so funny.. i use to have pics of it until my pc crash on.

I remember them days lol.... miss the game from back then... but not the issues.... we hope for a pre aos revert, but from the looks of it, all we are getting is a pre aos customer service and support revert

 

[WarUltima]

AoS release was pertty bad too.
But they gave us pixel cracks to calm us down... and i vote... give us some pixel cracks thats like AoS reward gump style.

Blessed clothing with special colors or heck use the old AoS gump since its still active in game and simply add in gargoyle selections. But anyways today's downtime is so damn long...

 

[Kirthag]

(&#%!@) ^&$_!@#@&*(%$#

Imma go play my PS3.... get away from internets before I blow a valve and my buck-private son gotta come home and take care his sick mom.


Still nada on the Twitter...
@MythicNews
@UOHerald

gonna tweet again to ping their smartphones (I know for a fact 3 of them get tweets on their crackberries).

Oh, for those of you on Napa who know my cat, even he's upset over this!

very true

 

[Toolbox2010Leg]

so back to my question from earlier, and for those that didnt see it, I am in baghdad and unable to patch... would anyone care to either email or send me via icq, their client.exe file....my buddy normally does but hes out havin a baby, well he isnt himself, but you know what i mean

 

[sir TEDLEY]

maybe this is the end maybe uo is gone foreever now , dosent seem there working on it , there prolly at the inn drinking and lafing that they made what money they could and got out fast , hahaha they got are money yay and they run away , i mean after all they did hire mythic and fired a crap load of more ea people

sigh back to solitare

 

[GalenKnighthawke]

So, you are hinting that we may not be playing again until Tuesday?

I think the suggestion was we might not get an apology until then, if at all.

I find it quite likely they have someone working on it, and despite my fears the realistic likelihood is that it'll be up before Monday. Or Tuesday.

Whether or not the people they have working on it (likely second-tierat best) can actually fix it is what's questionable.

And then of course whether or not they can successfully reach out to the first-tier.
