I was in the middle of creating my character and my internet went down.
Now when I try to log into the game it just sits at connecting forever...

Anyone have this problem?
Is the problem related to the disconnect?

Any suggestions?

The server just went down. Hopefully back soon so we can find out how dead we are...

I am having the same issue. Says "connecting" forever, this has never happened before. I was stalled right before I quit, which was unusual too. Server status says open, which I begin to doubt.

For new and old players a like the broken record says 'Klients' is the hottest source of info on the servers there is!

Is the server up? Is the server down? Is there a yubo loose in the server room?

But yes the server is/was down.

Don't trust the status on the server page. It seems that it is only triggered manually, hence you will only be able to see PLANED downtime there.

The servers crashing frequently in the last few days can have several reasons. My guess is that its something left over from the server merger.

But for those looking for boss mobs or supreme mats the crashes are kind of nice since the mats and mobs are back in full strenght after each reboot =P

Could be someone who find a way to crash the server on purpose just to force respawn the high level bosses? (I might be paranoid, but is a posibility)

Now why do I keep hearing these remarks all over Atys for the last few days? The downtime is considered bad, because it is downtime. The reboots are considered good because all the good stuff is reset.

The same thought in my head, is this going to smell fishy soon?

From the information given, it appears the servers did not go "down". Rather, there was a communication problem, which was why everything seemed to work up to the "connecting..." screen. This is also why the server was listed as "online" but could not connect.

Are you sure? A comm problem wouldn't really explain lost characters and guilds, would it?

I know you're just trying to explain the reason the status screen didn't update, but it seems like the server itself was, in one form or another, "down".

I was talking about crashes not about "normal server reboots"
To not have AGAIN problems with language and cultural barriers for me server crash = all players get disconnected without warning. After that, the game have to be started again.
What I was asking was if is a posibility that someone (player) to do this on purpose to force server reboot -> respawn of mobs.
