Lord of the Rings Online

Don't think it was much about stress.

In this update Turbine did some things that they have never done before. (This server wide event and the live ones coming) The problems that arose with this new content was not caught early on the preview server because they weren't active yet. Turbine did not want everyone to know what as going to happen, they wanted to be surprised. Well things didn't work out perfectly. They have tried to fix things with taking down the servers a little as possible, but it seems to not be working so they are going to take it down for a good while to get it fixed.

This is not good for Turbine and they know that they need to get it fixed. Just be patient, this is very much so not the norm for this game.

Test - Passed

The servers are up, I've tested the bank and the mail and they are working!

With all the great features of Book 14 , there has been a snag. Some very poor performance server side as well as some other things that just seem to be borked has made it's way into the game. Servers are down right now and Turbine is sweating to get everything corrected before the weekend.

This is the first major bugged patch to sift through and it will interesting to see how this plays out...

Right now there is

Rubber banding

ivisible walls

AH errors

Mail errors

just to name a few.

I have complete faith in turbine to crush the bugs and gets back up to operational status like the past year and half , this is truly the first makor test..

Sorry, but Open Beta was their first major test, and they passed that with flying colors. Their second major test was game release, and they passed that with flying colors.  This wonky release is actually they're first failure, and the speed at which they address it will decide if it is a major failure or just a minor hiccup.

Woot!  Yes everything seems to back on track.  Kudos to Turbine for pulling an all nighter to get this ironed out.

More developers/publishers should take a long hard look at how Turbine is running this flagship of theirs.

Actually though, reading the official forums, it sounds like the game still has problems despite pulling it offline last night for 7 hours.

Just got through with a hours worth of play on Silverlode. No issues. I was just fighting and doing some solo quests in the N Downs area so  I did not use the AH. I did mail some items to kinship buds and no mail problems. Will mail some items to my AH alt later and post if it is working as normal.

 In  N Downs I had  no issues with mobs rubber banding or lagging at all. Fellowship chat, kinship chat and general char were all working fine. Log in and connection times were good. Character select and game loading was good as ever. All of those were a problem yesterday.

So far on Silverlode everything was working fine as far as I could tell.

edit : getting items from mail and the Auction  House are broke on Silverlode as of 9:30 PM EST. main game works fine. No other  complaints in general chat or kinship chat. All fighting and questing is normal.

Issues are back tonight.
