This game has been in maintenance mode a couple years now. The very small updates, not fixing ongoing issues, no customer service, no bug reporting, long delays to any problems or requests, all points to maintenance mode. No one wants to come out and say it.
Don't get me wrong, I'll play this game till it finally dies but my expectations are in maintenance mode also.

Yeah..... not quite entitlement in this case. More of a suggestion and not a demand rant is the way I am reading it. I think the spirit of what you quoted is something that feels lost on SSG... Good will. No gaming company would obligate itself to compensate for downtime in a ToS agreement, but just about all of them do it anyway without people having to suggest it in a message board.
Just take a look at the VIP rewards if you need to understand where some folks are coming from... Still nothing changed there despite SSG acknowledging it is weak like what, a year ago or more? But that is a whole other can of worms.

Seriously. The name/password incorrect thing is a stupid message when the login server is down to start with, but when you factor in that the password reset is broken for comcast and AOL email accounts it's cruel too. If you were to go the "forgot password" route you would lose access to your account indefinitely. I have a friend who's been locked out 3 weeks now waiting for the quasi-nonexistent customer service to fix it.

From Tolero:
To clear up some confusion, there was a connection issue between the games and the authentication system, so the error message it would throw was about invalid credentials rather than something like "connection error". You don't need to update your account (other than usual internet best practice of periodically changing your passwords). Also if you happened to have left your game client open trying to login without ever having closed the launcher, you'd still keep seeing that error after we fixed the issue, so you definitely needed to close and reopen the game launcher.

SLAs for these things rarely matter in the actual time it takes to fix. if a hosting datacenter misses it, they just say 'oh well'. SSG would have to actually take legal action to get any recompense.

Well I guess the good news is that they plan on upgrading to 64bit servers sometime this year for LotRo and DDO
yeah let's hope it's a ssg games thing and not lotro only
there was a really interesting producer post on lotro side: https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthread.php?&postid=8117276#post8117276
ATTENTION the following is copypasting from LOTRO forum...i hope there's something on the radar for ddo too...
the question was about real EU servers and the answer was....
We don't have any current plans to change server locations, at least none that I'm aware of.
As other folks have pointed out, ping can be a bit of a red herring these days, as it's rarely the biggest factor when it comes to lag. It's certainly a contributing factor, and the further away you are from a server the more your performance degrades - if I remember my DevOps days correctly, that's not a linear relationship, but it's been like fifteen years so I could be wildly off for modern stuff.
Anyway, since our lag investigations and improvements got underway in earnest a few months ago, we've made some solid strides. We obviously have a long way to go - I had some pretty frustrating experiences myself playing on Gladden over the break - but we've got additional work coming for Update 32 that we're cautiously optimistic about.
- The 64-bit server work unfortunately didn't wrap up before end of year as we'd hoped, but we made good progress and we're still on it.
- One of the interesting historical artifacts with this game is it was built to assume more/most players were on dial-up. As we continued our archaeological excursions into our networking code, we identified some areas of improvement, some of which are in active testing right now, and assuming we don't find any massive issues we can't resolve, will go out with 32. This change may actually be on Bullroarer already, I'd have to check (it's behind the scenes, so there's not anything for players to test).
- The game also does some really inefficient queries, particularly on login, that affect not just your login experience but everyone else on the server (although others less so). We've found some improvements that should hopefully improve login times, but also lead to less halo for other players. This work is getting close and will enter testing soon as well.
So progress continues, and we're continuing to dedicate engineering to it in the future.

You create a pinkish symbol of power in the air, and it's activated by an enemy who comes into range of it, applying a charm effect to all nearby targets for 6 seconds per caster level. Each target can make a Will save to negate the effect. The symbol dissipates 20 seconds after being triggered, or in 5 minutes otherwise.

Anyone know if this part of the login server problem?

Hey folks, there're currently errors with the login server. We're currently investigating and will post further updates as we have them.
The errors are preventing players from logging into the game, and giving an erroneous message that the "Username or Password is Incorrect". You do NOT need to change your password, this is an issue with the login server.
Thank you for your patience.

If you have a Comcast or AOL email address you're screwed now. Sorry.

Same login issue for me as well. I was settling in to farm up Twelve Tokens to respecify a new mostly monk build into a mostly fighter for already having a mostly monk multi-class on another account. Woe was short lived though as I realized I have not yet planned out the mostly rogue version of the staff fighting monk multi-class. Anticipation kicked away dread with thought of tabbing over to the spread sheet to begin work on the monk 3, fighter 4 rogue 13 concept. With these 3 versions this is my first ever hand at two-handed feats and I find I'm loving the effects (I didn't care for the feats when "glancing blows" was the only appeal to the feats). The rogue 3/fighter 2/monk 15 is still standing by at level 10 waiting to be played, my first life rogue 4/monk 16 kicked butt and survived reapers even where reincarnated team members got ganked and is ready for reincarnation itself. For now, however, smashing stuff with a stick will wait while I design the mostly rogue. I have an eye on that tier 5 acrobat enhancement that provides the same +3 attack and +3 damage (only to quarterstaff) but also comes with +10 melee power. Awright, guys, I'm off to the design board. I hope you all find silver linings of your own while those poor fellas at SSG are pulling out hair to get things running again.

Glad I saw this I panicked because I thought someone hacked my account. Hopefully this mess will be resolved soon.
2nd time in the last month this has happened - clearly something is really wrong with a database or something.
Bad error handling to tell people their password is wrong as well.

When you login to a cloud based game, there are many servers in theprocess.
In this case the Login Server that handles the initial connection to the game is having an issue processing/authenticating your credentials so you are blocked now.
If you had logged in before the issue started, you can be in the gameplaying and having a grand ol' time (I have a friend who logged in earlier this morning and she says she is playing just fine)
But if she logs out completely then she will be in the same boat the rest of us are in.
i.e. waiting on the skeleton staff of SSG to have someone wake up on a Saturday and realize something is wrong.

It seems there is a security authentication issue going on. Ah well was hoping to get more favor on Hardcore today. Guess i'll do something else instead.

LOTRO are having similar problems.
I know this because there producer posted a thread about it. Way to go DDO! Not worth the effort. I suppose, considering the money thrown at LOTRO recently, we should get used to it.

Don't pay your bill..... communication is instant
Have an issue.......they don't even know your name
Used to have a phone number you could call...... remember those days.
Used to have an issue in a quest, fill out a ticket and couple minutes later someone was asking what they could do to help
Now you turn in a ticket and 3 days later..... if you happen to be in game, someone contacts you.... maybe

DDO issues like this are why I keep Pillars of Eternity and an old favorite, Titan Quest installed. I had a career in IT and I know these things will happen. What I find irritating is that there is no mention or notification anywhere other than this thread in the forums, that anything is wrong and it's being attended to. The effect is that it leaves users dangling ...
I to have been in IT for 20+ years (Network Engineer) and know first hand that a simple acknowledgement of the issue, even if there is no solution or ETA when it will be resolved, goes a long way. Does not need to be a long explanation. State the issue, and that it is being investigated. That short sentence for support would buy the hours of breathing room.
Seems simple customer service is a dying concept these days.

Won't lie.. I was a little freaked, as this is the first time this has ever happened to me. But reading this actually put a smile on my face and relieved a heck of a lot of tension!
Jajaja... yeah! same here, even thought on account being hacked or wrongly suspended... Nice to see its just a new general log in problem.
Come on SSG, give us our saturday game session back!

Same. Was in game and all of a sudden DDO Store stopped working (related maybe?) so I thought I'll log out and back in. Nope. Now it says login/password invalid yet I'm on forums.

Yes, game login is currently unavailable while we investigate and resolve this issue. Your user name and password is not incorrect and you should not have to reset it, this is an erroneous message being sent due to authentication being unavailable.

Login server issue is back it seems.
Was begining to wonder why I couldn't log into any of my accounts... How typical just when they had prolonged gift15 and DDOQUESTS...
At least I don't have to continue hitting reset password any more lol

Can you guys investigate changing this message? It's incredibly confusing and given the current problems with some email accounts not receiving forgotten credentials emails is also damaging to the player base.

You might wanna do two things there for the future:
1) have a monitoring service in place that notifies you when this service is down.
2) Change the error message.. a 401 isn't the same as a 503.
