think there has been about two other threads about beta being down and according to the response, it's not just your computer and seem widespread.
Not sure if it is permanent or just taking longer to get back up due to possible lacl of personnel and that is assuming they know its down and not suppose to be down.

Oh ok, thanks.
Hm, previously, Zwil said to report stuff like this to him. Now that he's moved on, I'm not sure who we can contact.
I suppose you could try a /petition from the live game. As far as I know, folks are still responding to those.

I made one of the other threads about this: yeah, looks like it's down. Shutting down the Beta server seems like one of the most logical first steps towards getting it all shut down. It's too bad: being able to play through much of what I had missed (for free!) was a great way to finish out the game, and with free boosters (2X exp boosters + perma patrol exp, as many free dual insps as I want, whatever set enhancers I want, infinite free reward merits, etc) it meant I could level quickly enough to try out a good chunk of it. I got into the thirties with a water/dark blaster and with a staff/willpower scrapper, and several others into teens and 20s.
I'd love to play on the "free stuff" server more, but if it's gone it's gone, and I'll have to move on. RIP City of Heroes.
Its probably just in need of a reset. If Posi is still around he may be able to contact them, and I have seen Black Pebble and SEcond Measure here as well. Some one can tell them to reset it if we are lucky.

Down for me atm too. Checking the server status page shows a few normal servers as Unknown also.

You might know me as FlintEastwood now on Freedom
I got called to jury duty in May...and ended up as foreman in a murder trial. My first blog post is about the experience, link below, warning: lacks happy ending.

I had jury duty earlier this year. Jury selection was the day before Diablo 3 was released. As you can imagine, I was nonplussed by this. Then I was chosen and I disliked that a lot. It was a murder trial, of sorts. The defendant was not contesting the fact that he killed a person, but was saying it was self defense.|

He shot him 7 times, at least once while the man was prone on the ground. Right in front of the man's sister. The victim was unarmed. I got to see the clothes he was wearing at the time, including blood (and other) stains & bullet holes. Saw the pictures from the autopsy and listened to the medical examiner try to crack jokes in a court room in front of the grieving family of the deceased.
I certainly hope your experience went better than mine. I had jury duty for 5 or 6 days, at the end of which it took us a little over an hour to come to a decision (guilty). Tragic all the way around because I still don't believe the defendant had a competent attorney.

I'm unable to get on the beta server. Is this a temporary issue, a personal problem, or is it known to not be functioning properly?
