I have just downloaded the trial, the patcher worked fine, but i can't actually log into the game. It says the servers will be down on the 20th, but todays the 25th. Anyone know what's going on? I'd like to try this game ^-^

There is server maintenance on Mondays and Fridays, including today. That's why you can't login right now.

Also, that purple text is *really* hard to read.

The servers are currently down for regular maintenance friend.
They should be back up 'soon'.

Apparently I'm to stupid right now to make an awesome link with a picture and stuff but neverthelss sign the petition! [u]http://www.change.org/petitions/ncso...city-of-heroes[u]

Thank you for the quick responses. Monday and Fridays, what time normally? Or do they have a general time for server mait in this game?

I'll try red, and see if that's easier to see. ^-^

They usually do maintenance starting at 9am and lasting anywhere between then and 11am. Sometimes longer...

As for the color of text... red is certainly easier to see... but I suggest sticking with white

Ah well. Thanks all for the information. I found the server status page. ^-^ I'll just keep an eye on that.

I know normal maintenance happens on Monday mornings, but it seems rather silly to take the servers down on a holiday........ couldn't it have waited for tomorrow?

 

Posted

I agree, they should have postponed the scheduled maintenance on a holiday....

I'm surprised we have a long maintenance today but it seems to happen every Memorial Day just because it's Monday.

Actually, there may be a real problem. Usually, when maintenance is going on, I can open the launcher, click past the EULA, and get to the login screen.

Now, I'm stuck on "Connecting.. #123456789..."

My arcs are constantly shifting, just search for GadgetDon for the latest.

Server Maint is performed twice per week on a regular basis. Mon and Fri from 6am to 8am Pacific Standard Time. So if you are in a Diff time zone calculate accordingly. Every now and then it runs longer, but they are usually up 10 to 15 minutes early on a regular basis.
