Thread: server issues?

anyone else having trouble with the server? i can log in, but it doesnt connect me to any chat channels, cant talk in kin chat, glff, etc.

i know of at least 2 other people having this problem so far, anyone else?

Same here.

had a lot of issues last night with getting booted from the game(during T2 ToO no less :/), but was able to log back in fine

Yeah, no chat channels on Brandywine. Wakey, wakey, IT guys. Kinmates who were on this afternoon say it started about half an hour ago.

Yo fail kinmateeee sup bro?!

I am hating this server fail. I sent in a ticket what, 20 minutes ago and haven't heard back. All I want to do is ravage my kinchat!

EDIT: Just saw someone use /say but nothing else appears to be working...

No chat on Brandywine and Im unable to enter the guest rooms in Riv to continue my quest. Watched 2 other people fail to get in as well. Logged twice and nothing changed. They must have pressed the switch that says "Bullroarer on/everything else screwed".

ewww, go away <3

but yes, /say and /tell are both working fine

yeah, say and tells are the only way to chat unless you have voice chat

and friends list is not working as intended either...

Wakey wakey IT guys

In-game voice chat doesn't work either - my kinnies are in Vent, thank goodness

yep, same issues, can't enter the Way of Smiths in Moria either.

^that did make me LOL

Wow, thirty seconds warning for a world shutdown. I was fighting six wargs and a Thinglad buck - what are the odds I live?

Just got the world reboot message -- hopefully this will fix it.

Brandy's down, and the forums also seem to be crawling.

Not sure if anyone else is seeing it, but the problems do seem to be not just with BW.

We are bringing Brandywine back up as we speak. It will be online shortly. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Excellent. Thanks for the update!

I logged over to Meneldor and things seem normal...which is to say, laggy.

hope its up soon

Thanks for the update!

I'm checking in with my backup enclave on Vilya. Based on my experiences with other MMOs, it's been customary for me to have a "spare" world in case one goes down.

LOTRO's uptime is the best of any MMO I've played, so my backup characters have been somewhat neglected. Vilya seems normal, and it's been nice visiting with them.

Also, the significant page load delays on the forums seem to have been resolved. I'm not sure what that was about, since my pings to gls.lotro.com have been smooth throughout the crisis, but I'm glad the live team is on it.

Brandywine is now back in business and ready for your adventures!

I've been trying to play this afternoon. The lag is EPIC. Ruined my whole dang skirmish... Now I'm walking around with the shame of defeat. more like SHAME OF THE LAG

I have been having this problem forever now. I am VIP and half the time I cannot log in. I can get into game also but all I can do is look around. Can't chat, can't MOVE, can use skills, just look around. It has taken me days to get in. Then it is ok for like a day and then BAM back to it. I made a ticket for it but Turbine did't do anything to help really. They asked me some questions about my router and internet but I am in Iceland and have the best internet in the world. I have a feeling that it is time to disconnect the credit card from this game and wait for Elder Scrolls to come out.

Oh yeah after a few minutes of being able to do nothing in game is gives me the 'Connection to server has been lost' and if i try to chat it says 'General Error 0x000000001' or something.

*waves*
I was not aware that Iceland had the best internet in the world, especially when it's a matter of connecting to a game dominated and run in the United States. Even if you're VIP, that won't change the bugs and glitches you experience ^_^

That actually sounds like an ISP issue to me....

I am glad to see I am not the only one with this problem. I have been getting this for the past few weeks:

I can log in and get into game. Once IN game I can look around but that is it. No chat (General error 0x000000 or ssomething), no skills, no moving. After several moments I get a 'Connection to server has been lost'. I have contacted Turbine nothing yet. It takes me sometimes HOURS before I can log in. HOURS.

Rage quit? Reinstall? Smash face on laptop?

Ragequit. Ragequit for sure, cause it solves all issues.

I can log in and get to the character select screen but it won't log in to the game world. I was suspicious of this hotel connection, but I can post here etc and the speedtest comes back way more than adequate. Anyone else not really able to connect right now?

Thanks!

i am getting this as well. this is exactly what is happening to me. i seemed to be the only one, as no one else i knew was having thi problem, but nice to know its not just me

ok, well it turns out i can log into some of my toons, but not others. idk why.

i was on my hunter when i first had a stable horse freeze on me, and ten i lost connection. ever since i havent been able to log onto him.

I'm having the same problems: connection to the server has been lost (kicked completely), connection timeouts trying to get to character selection, some characters I can't get past the character selection screen - and then with others I can, but then they freeze up and I lose connection again. All seems to have started yesterday for me.

Me too. I select my character and then lose connection.

Might be the chinese gold sellers trying to crash Turbine, so they can sell more on Blizzards servers. You can never keep the chinaman down long, too many of them to contain it.

I am having the same issue on one of my toons. Happened a bit yesterday then stopped and now it started again on the same toon.

yea, at times i can log on fine. then ill lose connection on a toon then not be able to log back on it for a while, but can log onto any other toons fine.

The chat server is not available. logged in, got this. took several minutes to connect...

I haven't had any issues staying connected, but the past few days the lag has been something terrible. I just came back to the game a few days ago after a taking several months off and I can't recall the lag being this bad except for when there were tons of people in the same zone... which I haven't been getting the "high zone population" warning lately so I'm assuming that isn't the issue.

Well trying about ten times seems to have solved my problems. After a while I was able to stay logged in as normal. Very weird but at least I got to do raid night.

Aeridas, I actually had the high zone population thingy all night last night. It stood out to me because I haven't actually seen it in a while.

Hmm, I wonder if my high pop icon is just bugged or something...
