    Guess the fool is us for thinking Turbine would be professional with the event. Whoever thought about that event needs to get 5 across the eyes, no shit the server is going to crash when you have thousands of people trying to load into a session play.

    The theory of the web worm is completely idiotic. They should have never tried to re-invent their login/billing system now the shit just got real.

    Update 10:00PM

    Our network operations team believes they have identified the root problem. They are currently working to resolve the issue and verify the fix. We do not have an ETA at this time.

    As a side note: Please don't feed the lions while they work.

    If this is an april fools joke im not laughing (well maybe a little lol)

    It's usually my experience that Turbine tends to be mindful of things like this and will most likely extend events and offer subs free time but this is as stated earlier some of the worse down time I've seen from them but in well over ten years of experience I can say I've seen worse from others.

    but yeah, to call this game Fantastic is like calling Twilight the Godfather of vampire movies....

    The down time is driving me nuts, too. But in the great scheme of things I have to say that LotRO has always had some of the most stable servers of any MMO I've ever played. This is the first time in as long as I can recall that the game wasn't waiting for me when I wanted to play. Well, not counting update days, anyway. :)

    This is crazy I am going back to WOW where the servers are more stable and I can always count on them.

    Thats weird, because WoW is worse off than Turbine. This is a weird anomaly and normally Turbine's servers are much more stable than WoW's have ever been. This is the first time in a long time that the servers have been down for an extended period of time without a better description of whats going on (patch days, obviously, don't count).

    Guess I'm gonna have to play Spellborn until I can log on again...

    This really sucks ass!

    Or maybe I will fire up Vanguard again that game actually looks better than LotRO now ... Too bad people don't play it as it is an awesome game now! If only SOE would invest some money in marketing/advertising I can see it getting more subscriptions than any MMO out there right now. (WOW included)
