Frustrated with not being able to connect to the authentication server, I restarted my AoC client and noticed that the news post was different and spoke about tweaking the servers for the next 3 hours. I tried to confirm this on the FC forums but they are down right now.

Patcher says:

 

The Servers will be available very soon from now. The final things are getting tweaked and tested.

To make sure everything works the way it should we want to test it properly.

Due to that, the servers will open in about 3 hours from now (8pm GMT).

Yes this is confirmed. Its posted in the patcher and they are also saying the same thing over on the IGN forums.

Well can't say I didnt see this coming. After all this is the same company that put out Anarchy Offline. Just pray the launch doesn't turn out to be the mess that game was in the beginning.

Sucks its 2 am here now. I slept all afternoon to be ready...LOL!

It is 4 pm EDT or 5pm EST.  But I really doubt you are on EST time at this time of year.

In the US, when we say EST, it includes any DST changes. So it is 4 PM EST, even thought we're in dst. 1 PM PST.

I feel silly now because there are like 5 other people who posted "WTF 3 more hours" type threads at the same exact time as me. mmorpg.com is being lagtastic right now, making it hard to browse these forums!

 

Oh well, it looks like I am going to go enjoy 2.5 more hours of RL before I crack out on this shit. I am mostly concerned about getting on ASAP so I can get my characters created so nobody steals my names!

 

Can't wait to get on to Dagoth and start my guild, <No Apparent Reason>, a casual hardcore guild. narguild.com

Of course the main forums are down, you think they wanted to see the result of this BS move on their part?? lol

With the AoC forums down, all of us nerds are grinding this site to a halt it seems.

 

Oh well, at least i can watch the red wings game without getting my conan character killed while sneaking a peek at the game :P
