Virtue is currently having problems

Virtue's finally throwing in the towel. It's taking me over 30 seconds after selection to get my character list, it takes over 20 seconds to load a character once selected, and I've been waiting over 2 minutes to get to the loading screen after clicking 'Enter Paragon City.' Character was logged out in Peregrine. I haven't had a chance to try any others yet, because the game is hung trying to get to the zoning screen.

EDIT: Roughly three minutes to get the Peregrine Island loading screen. Seeing lots of stalling, and constant mapservers now that I'm back in.

Yep. I'm sitting here staring at a near constant "Lost Connection to Mapserver".

Someone spilled something on the server. Castle, I'm looking at you.

EDIT: Whatever it is, it seems to have choked the login server too. I can't even get past the login screen now.

Ah, it really is double XP weekend.

I was trying to get out of Grandville and I had to retravel over the same area right before the ferry 25 times before I could get to the ferry. This is crazy.

Is Virtue on the same server cluster as Protector & Champion? If so, that would explain it. The entire farm needs to have its hamster rebooted.

Hopefully somebody's keeping an eye out here for server issues this weekend. Globals are bouncing up and down like a pogostick now. Lost and rejoined twice in a minute. And it was working so well before.. sigh.

Seems to be stable for the moment, but I'm still seeing trouble with global channels - messages getting lost or taking several seconds to get through.

$15/month.

15/30 = $0.50/day.

.50/24 = $.02/hour.

You want me to mail you 2 shiny pennies for your trouble logging on?

I'll assume you ARE aware that global channels are handled by a different server from the game servers? And that globals are cross-server? So, if you overload most of the servers, as inevitably happens on a Double XP weekend, the global servers are going to be even more overloaded than usual, right?

I know from seeing some tweets that several Devs (some we don't even have names for) are keeping an eye on the various systems and taking steps as needed to try to keep this as smooth as they can with minimal downtime to fix issues.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
