exactly. their announcements about measures against RMT transactions are just words to act like they are doing something and reports against people using bots etc are a joke because they never do anything since they outsource security to a 3rd party that wont look into it until hours after the guilty parties have long stopped and there is no live proof. too lazy to check logs to see the evidence.. if my RL time requirements weren't as they are, i would go back to EQ2

And here I am trying to get back into Mateus 2,794 queue...ouch. Lol

Are we being punished for something?...

These ques over 3000, how many people are actually on a server at a given time? For some reason I thought it was way less than that.

They're working on it.

That response is as vague as you can get without just being entirely silent.

so it wasn't a ddos attack.. it's just their crap infrastructure. lovely

Yeah I was kicked out and was getting a 2002 error every time I tried to log back in about 15 mins ago. I just tried logging back in and I was able to connect however, I'm # 2,715 in the queue and waiting :mad:

"degraded performance on internet routes" could mean just about anything. I get that you want to blame SE for this, but neither you nor I have enough information to do that.

Actually, it could still be a DDOS, they're just attacking the hops one or three out from SQEX to dodge the protection.

actually, they haven't updated their equipment in quite a while. SE just reacts to problems rather than work to prevent them.

I've tended to just ignore people when they post stuff like that. Honestly though I cant say whether or not I'm bummed out or happy. I was stuck in another Castrum Pop with per usual completely unready group which is kinda sad considering the one new player to the instance was doing dang good healing.

Literally 90k'ing me every cutscene i get into... cant enjoy the story.

Trust me, I'm with you on that. I was trying to go through my Roulettes when it blew up, and I only have an hour before I gotta go to work. Now it kicked me off... and the queue is like 2400 (Goblin server)

"... [D]egraded performance on certain internet routes" is incredibly vague.

I'm pretty forgiving, but getting off for dinner and coming back to a 2,700+ person queue is... mind-boggling. I struggle to believe to believe there are 2,700+ people on Famfrit at any given time.

Lol same boat, same world. Started placed over 3,000, just now a few hundred over 1,000. I'm used to queues around 20 or so people. This is wild.

Did it ever recover? I gave up and now maintenance is soon so hopefully it gets fixed.

It appears to have cleared up as of around 9pm EST. I had a long, long queue to get back into the game but once I did it was all sunshines and rainbows.
