Searching for Logon Server ... (Attempt 20 of 20)

[Sapience]

I didn't vanish. Just checking in with the team. They're still looking into the issue. I don't have an ETA to share right now, but if I get one before they actually fix it I'll share it with you ASAP.

[ltreth]

I got booted on a creep and haven't been able to log back into that one. I have logged into creep alts but as soon as I start moving, I lock up and crash. I logged to freep side and went to port to Rivendell and it locked and crashed.

Not sure what is going on or how to help. I did restart my computer twice now.

Finally started working for me.

You have disconnected from the Client.

On windfola. Was on my main and everything got stalled. Reboot program and haven't been able to log my main since. I logged an alt, played for a short time, but when I went into a building, it stopped on the loading screen. I tried a different server, started a new character, but as soon as he entered into a different building the load screen stalled and stopped. Just an FYI. Good luck fixing it. I am waiting... This happened 2 hours ago.

[Lord_Arathar]

I can get to my character screen everytime, but now it seems that most if not all of my characters will not load. I'm tired of trying...

[Vaxtin]

I just wanted to add i too am having this issue. Basically, I've gone through the exact thing ltreth has just mentioned above, just on firefoot server.

I thought I was being hacked at first, but I tried my toon in nimrodel, and standing still I was fine. It was only until I began running around that i lost connection again.

I tell you, it's the servers becoming self-aware. Started with the Logon server, which is 'awakening' his buddies bit by bit. Sapience, get those engineers out of the building, pronto!

Given it is now impacting AC, DDO, and IC as well, you may be right! But we'll sacrifice a couple of network engineers to get things sorted out.

Mine is stuck on "installing prereqs". I haven' been on all day this was my first attempt so guess I'll go back to reading for a bit. Thanks for looking into it Sapience.

I see there's a World broadcast: 'We are aware of the login issues players are experiencing and are working a resolution. Thank you for your patience.'

Doesn't really help people who can't get connected at all. but could be useful for those in external chat programs with kinmates.

[Daemiphor]

Is all of this stemming from the huge server lag that has been going on the past few nights, Sap.? Flight T2 would just about crash every single raid member when (4) summoner spawns popped up. Just curious if it's all connected somehow?

So that means we're telling people in game, on twitter, on facebook. All of the channels we use to communicate these things. So you can see we're all working to get this resolved.

I doubt it, but I honestly do not know. This appears to be networking related.

[Namesse]

My chat log says I just disconnected from the server; I will be mindful to not cross regions if I can and maybe I can stay in game.

Yeah good idea. For many of us, that seemed to be the first sign of trouble ahead. Be interesting to see if you can stay in game and active, as long as you don't change zones.

Can't get in at all, installer hangs on (Installing Pre-reqs). Dwarrowdelf in my Home Server

[rackemup420]

You do know now that I am going to have to make a pot of coffee when it's fixed and get my fix! lol

I get the impression Chaos Theory begins to kick in here, making that question unrealistically hard to answer. I mean, as complicated as the code for this game has grown over the years, it is probably quite literally impossible to predict some of these cause-effect relationships, even though they are still completely deterministic.

[Joshua_Charibdis]

yep same thing on Arkenstone; I heard an in game message came up, for those who were still logged in (I was alting for a raid) that said they were aware of the problem

You also have to hit mobs with nothing harder than a pillow, or it might jolt you out of the game. If you're a cook, I would suggest throwing apple sauce at your enemies.

For me it is failing at "Connecting to Patch Server" 33%, then it fails and says "Server Connection Timed Out". This has been happening for hours now I cannot get anywhere near where I would select a different world, or even a different account :/ Sapience, does this mean LOTRO is going to extend the Summer Fest, since we cannot get on to get those too-hard-to-get-for-this-festival coins?

Thanks

You brave, brave men (and women). D:

Let's spare a though for the poor engineers on call who gotta sacrifice their saturday night to a bunch of nerds' virtual land of make-believe. You good sirs are gods among men.

One of my friends has a similar job, and the company phone always rings at the most importune times

[BLOODYWINE]

Try restarting.

last two hours on loading says installing pre req. still nothing last two hours est,

[Lariond]

Thanks for the hard work on the Turbine side. I am able to get into Snowbourne (never logged into it before tonight) and Brandywine, but Gladden still can't find the Login Server.
