Is the server down?

[Mystera]

Last couple of days I've had to put up with tremendous lag like everyone else. At times I was casting 3 firewalls before they would kick in. Now it appears the server is down. Tried repeatedly to log in but am getting a server login failure.

System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: stream
at System.IO.StreamReader..ctor(Stream stream, Encoding encoding, Boolean detectEncodingFromByteOrderMarks, Int32 bufferSize)
at System.IO.StreamReader..ctor(Stream stream, Encoding encoding, Boolean detectEncodingFromByteOrderMarks)

at com.turbine.launcher.gls.GlobalLoginSystemAuthenti cationService.EndLoginAccount(IAsyncResult asyncResult)

Is this a problem on their side or mine?

The DDO Game Servers and http://myaccount.turbine.com will be offline for maintenance on Monday, September 19th from 5:00 to 11:00 Eastern (-4 GMT). The forums and wikis will remain up, but players may not be able to log in. Thanks for your patience, and we'll see you back in the game soon!

The maintenance is done and the devs are running their toons thru the new changes.

We will see +Tolero running around with his newly crafted gear from the crafting xp decon boost.

And the kobolds are being whipped into shape after a long hiatus as we all eagerly await the opening of that door.

Get ready to dig out ur compasses and I'm sure u all can hear that music playing in your heads.

ARRRRR. Kobold Pack Rats !! Kobold remember waterworks !!

It figures I would get off early to try to play some while the wife and kid are asleep and the maintenance is still going on. Supposedly ends at 11am EST which is 4pm for me...but we all know it will take 1-2 hours longer. What a rip!

the last 3-4 updates have been finished ahead of time, mr. negativity

Let's see how many times the server crashes when everyone is online... with all the server lag going on, the server is just going to freeze up with everyone going into the cove.

If you have an android device, there is a CC soundboard app. That way while we are waiting for the kobald foreman to whip them into shape, we can have our fun.
