Downtime Notice: Wednesdays, 9:00 AM Eastern

[Bluenoser]

Earlier this Week, My Account worked, Now it keeps telling me today that the same password and login are incorrect. Yes I checked my Caps Lock, YES, the Password is the Same, Yet, when I click on the links to reset password and stuff, I get nothing, no email. I havent changed things in years, But I'd be really sad to have to let this game go because I was randomly locked out of it even though I dont see any reason for that happening

You aren't alone with the problem, which showed up this evening for a whole bunch of us. See thread in "General Discussion" section. Still waiting for any word from SSG...

Lots of people having the same problem.

Same thing here. What gives, DDO? Would be nice to have a service update if indeed the game is down.

If you have facebook, you'll see a bunch of us on there saying the same thing. We all got booted and not dont exist

Guess DDO started the downtime a bit early this week.

[Cordovan]

Note that we will not be doing our weekly restart tomorrow as we are currently working to release Update 53 in the coming days.

[Urklore]

Downtime tomorrow (Thursday, 2/24) maybe? Looking forward to Anniversary SSG

[OPJvid]

I couldn't take it anymore,

Cancelled DDO and started up a ESO subscription.

Give me a call if you get your act together enough so I can actually play the game.

I went to ESO last July and cancelled my DDO VIP. Many of my now 10 years DDO friends did stop or are considering stopping VIP.
Too many signs that the game is heading at the wall. Ok some of you will say we are negative. Face it.
And if I voice my concerns, this is not to bash or be discourteous with SS. I wish they did the right thing to save DDO.
I placed a ticket in November to address the consequences of a way the reincarnations work, only lightly identified in forums and in a short WIKI recap page, burning some of my resources and I am grateful to have received exceptional compensation from SS for the loss. Only, this was resolved 12 weeks after the ticket was placed.
FYI I now have the experience of other MMO's with ticket turnarounds of 24 hours max and few min time responses to in game tickets.
I like the specifics of DDO, and I am nostalgic of the time we were offered creative content.
Too much to do apparently to fix playability issues and software obsolescence. I like DC casting. This area probably has taken one of the strongest hit from the last updates. Mob targeting issues, spells not landing in lag circumstances, spell resistance in specific quests being completely out of wack. The practical examples of misfits are still very numerous.
Too bad, I'll continue watching and playing DDO now and then with my friends, but it will take a real major change for me to endorse this game again.
I bless the efforts of SS to make progress and I unfortunately doubt the pace of the current attempts to adjust the shortcomings will make any substantial difference.

If i recall correctly, there wasnt a restart last week...So it kinda of held well for 2 weeks

Friday; last week.

Dude i put a ticket in 15 weeks ago, still waiting; their CS at SS, sucks.

[Dhurrin]

Don't want to be a spoilsport, but everytime I start the launcher it still tells me the game is down and it's 4PM eastern now.

It's 5:09PM Central and the game is still down. Is this related to the Isle of Dread pre-release?

[Thundia]

So this is neither here nor there--and definitely hats off to SSG for working diligently to fix said issue. However, I do find it interesting and a bit illogical that the two games that SSG develops come out with major updates on the same day at the same time (Both LOTRO and DDO had updates, both starting at 9am EST ending at 11am EST. I suspect there is some synergy or outright duality between the support/implementation teams of both games.

Anyway, hope to see you ALL on Thelanis tomorrow.

[Banafsheh]

Doh! First there was an issue with CenturyLink preventing me from getting the update. Now the servers are down longer than expected.

[Iluvddo]

The DDO game worlds will be brought down for a weekly restart every Wednesday starting at 9:00 AM Eastern (-5 GMT). The downtime typically lasts for less than an hour.

I demands direct pvp challenge to be back as soon as possible

ESO has nice graphics but what broke it for me is that Balmora looks nothing like it did in TES III: Morrowind.

I really liked that town, it was a nice hub for quests and I would have loved to relive it in an MMORPG but it was not to be.

Balmora in ESO looks nothing like Balmora in TES III: Morrowind... it's a pale substitute.

Holy **** it looks so much better. My ESO remembrance is "looks great with meh mechanics."

Nothing beats "d20" mechanics - also ESO really limited the character versatility that makes the single player elder scrolls so fun (and broken). DDO is the only one I've seen come close to having some truly fun apparently functional character versatility. I will make whirling steel work if it's the last thing I do!

Anyway, It's my first server downtime since I haven't played in years and it's now over an hour the servers have been down which is disappointing cause I saw this thread and was like "oh sweet, only an hour downtime."

EDIT: oh, I see the "update until 1pm" Sept 14th notice now, that sucks.

[Sahleere]

Reminder that the first Wednesday restart takes place tomorrow (the 8th) starting at 9:00 AM Eastern.

I was told you try to alternate weekly restarts. It would be appreciated if you actually did. One week Wednesday, next week Thursday, or whatever.

I suggest posting that in the most recent downtime notice found here.

[Graedyn_Jaxx]

The log in page says all worlds are up except Orien but when i try to log in nothing happens except the DDO windows shut down
