Sony's station servers down?

peileii · 08-20-2009, 11:36 AM

Can't connect to anything EQ2 related... can't log on, EQ2's site is down, even EQ1 shit is down. Anyone else having the same problem?

spyderbite · 08-20-2009, 11:38 AM

Yup.. same issue here as well. Been going on since before 6:30am EST. A few people have twittered that they were able to get in by launching the eq2.exe and skipping the launcher. Not many were successful though.

I am having the same issue and have not been able to locate any info detailing what is occurring. They usu have updates around this time but I have been experiencing this issue for about 3 hours now. If anyone knows anything ....

just saw your response spyder .... I am a slow typer.

EQ2.exe is the launcher. You need to run EverQuestII.exe to skip the launcher. Still doesn't work for me though.

Thanks folks. I have the day off and I'm jonesing... Maybe I'll actually get off my ass and leave the house.

Works for me right now, I'm using Station Launcher, though. EQ2Players works, too.

Same here, 11:15 am EST, still not connecting..

For everyone reading this thread, open up a cmd window and type "tracert eq2players.com" and paste the output in a reply here, and say whether SOE services work for you or not.

I'm getting hung up on a network hub in New York during my traceroutes. Possibly a regional thing if its a major upstream provider.
