You read it wrong. Not "down". It says DOOM!

Champion - DOOM!
Freedom - DOOM!
Virtue - DOOM!
Pinnacle - DOOM!
Triumph - DOOM!

(Pinnacle has less doom since no one plays on it anyway...)

Maybe the coding monkeys should inadvertently press the "revert to i16" button and we'll all have smoother play

I only made the subscription comment 'cause no one else had. Seemed like the thread was missing something!
And I was only joking about people who comment on how much they pay when there's down-time, not necessarily you, in particular. Jeez, lighten up. Guess I should've phrased it like this, to avoid confusion:

"Hmmm... maybe they should pro-rate that $15/mo for 'people'. That's about 2 cents an hour, so worst case scenario... 'they' might get 6-10 cents back.

If 'one' cries loud enough, I'm sure someone here will volunteer to send 'that person' a dime."

Does that meet your approval now?

You know, there was that whole other part, talking about people logging in to say the same stuff everyone else has already said. You comletely overlooked the fact that the whole tone of my post was sarcasm. I guess it was a bit too subtle for you. Not everyone can catch sarcasm in text, I suppose. My fault, sorry.

But then again, who am I to argue with "GuyPerfect"... with a name like that, you MUST be the authority on everything "pompous and arrogant".

On a side note, I still have a little over an hour till I go to work, I've already read/watched the news, and I've already had lunch, so no... I don't have anything better to do at the moment.

That'd be a knee-slapper if you weren't the ten billionth comical genius to come up with that one.

Just for the record, I didn't "come up with that one", as you say. It was in response to you judging me as being "pompous and arrogant". If you've heard it 10 billion times, it's apparent (like this time) you bring it on yourself.

My work here is done, thanks for your time and comments.

*Casts Raise Dead*

A little search-fu found this thread from a year go, but since this one describes exactly the problem I've been experiencing (a LOT), I wanted to append to it, rather than starting a new one.

Very frequently over the last month or so, I've been getting the following sequence during game startup.

  1. Attempt to login by providing credentials.
  2. Click Login.
  3. Game sits and cursor spins.
  4. Game complains that it can't connect to the login server.
  5. Click Login again.
  6. Game sits and cursor spins.
  7. Game connects and my characters appear.
  8. Select a server.
  9. Game sits and cursor spins.
  10. Game complains that it can't connect to the DBServer and kicks me back out to the login screen.
Now, this happens a LOT. Like, several times a week. And, it will frequently happen even if I've been connected to the game and playing for hours, and just want to log out to the character selection screen. The game will lose its connection, and I can't log in at all.

I've been monitoring my network activity, and I don't appear to be dropping packets. I'm on broadband, and using an internal wireless network, but the netgraph is in the green the vast majority of the time, with no dropped packets that I can see. Flushing the DNS cache hasn't helped, and neither has resetting my IP address (though that would accomplish little, given the wireless config). Also note that my firewall is set up to keep its grubby mits off of COH, as is my anti-virus software.

I am at my wits end. The game has become virtually unplayable. I spend more time unable to play the game than I am able to play it. I'm open to suggestion at this point.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem these days, or was this issue resolved, and do I need to contact my service provider?
