Um....except they're not "load locked". They're completely down. The servers crashed. So....although part of your point still stands, part of what your saying has nothing to do with the issue at hand |

We'll see....
How quickly they forget.
This didn't happen during 2xp weekend.

The servers are down. Not locked due to population, but down. These things happen. It will get fixed. No, the folks in charge are not off for the weekend. Have no fear. Remain calm. |

Perhaps you misunderstood when I said lowest on load list, not lowest in order on the login screen. The login screen list is reversed in load, excepting the last used one. But I think you understood what I was saying, just decided to pick at nits.
I had not seen anything from a community rep or anyone saying the servers were down/crashed, so I assumed they were load locked, which of course, you know, looks identical at the login screen. So if they are down, I stand corrected.
But the point remains that there are a number of servers out there, and all of them can be used by each and every one of us.

Freedom has been so peaceful and quiet since the AE farm wipe. Now all of the idiocy is back in Atlas Park again. AE Farm spam and 55 IQ arguments
You all can complain about Freedom, but it wasn't like that today before the crash!
There is no such thing as an "innocent bystander"
Can we get an update or something on the forums? I mean don't we deserve to know what is going on?

On the login screen, the mouseover says "Server down", which is different than saying "Full" if they had been full. |

Also, server status has shown their status as "Down/Unknown" for the last few hours.
You guys do know that if the servers are full, the status goes 'pink' and you get put into a queue, yes? Or was I dreaming about them adding this feature?

Butg when you get a mapserve and theserver is gone it is not a feature.

Exactly. So I don't get why some people are even arguing whether or not the servers are full or not. xD

Or maybe I'm not reading properly. I dunno...
I'm sad. I want my Virtue back! 
GOSH DARN IT!

You shoulda seen it on the day they gave away free server transfers. About 5-10 off-server troublemakers throwing Ouro portals all over the candy cane vendor/luge trail. I love "Add Note". Great way to ID people and track 'em down on the boards for future harassment. |

Tonight was the only night I could play CoH and spend time with my CoH-buddies within the next two weeks or so. I'll miss the Winter Event too.
The random server crash just made me so so so sad...
Quote:
What amuses me is when Protector and Champion went down earlier in the week, this inane statement was not bandied about. It's only when either Freedom or Virtue suffer from problems that people come out to start crowing that maybe we should play on their servers.

You know, it's starting to sound like maybe a router or a bridge went kablooie. Oh well, but what the heck do I know!!!
Well, 1:40 am here on the west coast, and the servers are -still- down. I are a sad Mercy. And no amount of cookies will make meh happeh again.

With the extended outages it probably could be a software issue that could lead to/has already lead to data corruption, meaning they either want to roll back/patch/resync the data on each server.|

Seems like they tried getting Virtue up but it wasn't taking so it could be something bigger than just a simple reboot to fix for all three servers.

That's been happening to me (on Justice) off and on for the last few weeks. Would be nice if it went away once the server comes back.|

My guess is that the rush of Aussies transferring their characters to Justice caused the server to run out of disk space.
i second freaky there...
i tried till midnight (event was over by that time) then went off to find other stuff to do... came back at 10 till 6am est (after making snowangles in the blizzard) to find virtue is still down...
and as much fun as it is to play on different servers, i kinda liked my mains and i am a rare one on CoX... i dont like starting over :P
in your Begining, there was Darkness... and in your ending, there will be Darkness...
it is not a boast... just the way it will be...
