Anyone else just forcibly disconnected? 
What a tease! 
I find your lack of signature disturbing.
ruhroh forcibly disconnected, the drama continues, check out my twitter feed for updates ... ;P
And just got booted. There are strange things afoot at the Circle K.
All except three of the servers just went down
Logged in, Doing some checking then BAM! boot to the head by server.
Looks like the problem light started blinking again.
"Now it's on! Now it's off! Now it's on!"
"That's called 'flashing...'"
just got into a BAF, waiting for that 15th person to click their green OK button, BAM! mapserved! Got some message about the server being forcibly shut down, sunuva!!!!
Nightstar and Siege are behind it I'm sure, they've shut the server down so that we can't stop them!!!!
Logged in then ten minutes later got forcibly disconnected...are servers down again??
Brushing twice a day keeps the Strep.mutans at bay!
If you play on Defiant Server send a tell @Electro Kitty to join The Wonder League SG

You know its not a good day when you just joined a BAF and then as the team is all locked in and ready to que......right before getting the que to press the green button to zone in.....forced disconnection and ending back into the log in screen.......yeesh. My day off from work and I just wanted to relax and kill evil Praetorians with other players,guess that's too much to ask for,early in the morning.
O.o
[Beta Testers]Zombie Man: Harlot is Swan's nickname too. And Dominatrix. And Sister Psyche. And Mynx. And Bobcat. And Synapse.
I actually just logged in, went from Fort Trident to WW in Atlas, got some purchased items, collected some inf from sales and went into my base to craft some stuff, then went to RWZ. Then got forcibly d/c'd from server.
Whatever the problem is, there is no good excuse for it. Sure things happen - that's why they have a TEST server. To test things out before they put them on the live servers. Apparently, they just aren't testing for everything. Resources are scarce. And they might get more scarce if people can't log in to play during times when there is no scheduled maintenance.

As for the extended maintenance, it can cover a lot of ground: new hardware, replacing existing hardware, reboots, defrag, etc. A good network admin knows that any job can take longer than expected. You can try to plan as much in advance as possible, but you can't plan for the unexpected; it's just that, unexpected. |

Read forum before you post? Yes, all servers went down except for Triumph, Victory and Freedom but now the login server is down again as well. |

City of Heroes Website Maintenance - August 4
We will be performing a maintenance on the City of Heroes websites between 1:00 p.m. PDT (4:00 p.m. EDt / 9:00 p.m. BST / 22:00 CEST) and 5:00 p.m. PDT (8:00 p.m. EDt / 1:00 a.m. BST / 2:00 CEST) on Thursday, August 4.
As a result, you may be experiencing intermittent outages and may be unable to access our North American and European City of Heroes websites.
Please note that our Going Rogue websites and Official Forums will remain unaffected by the maintenance, and you be able to access them normally.
We will keep posted on our forums if anything were to change during the maintenance.
Thank you all for your understanding and patience

The link they provide is: http://www.cityofheroes.com/servers/index.htm The official link is: http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/ser...er_status.html And the link that actually has the relevant information apparently is: http://sgspaces.net/server_status/index.php Would be nice if they 1) fixed the error message so it reported the correct official page link 2) fixed the part of the code on the server_status page that reports incorrect Last Updates (bottom right), and 3) included the Login Server on the server_status page, like the sgspaces.net link does... |

Hope you get to enjoy the game soon enough, rather than go all crazy.

Please read what you copy and paste. This is in regards to the website and has nothing to do with the games servers.

It is my fault the servers are down.
I went outside to look for my spoiled, indoor only housecat who escaped into the great outdoors for the first time in his life and I gather the servers went live in that time. I come back in, and poof ,they are down again....
