Is the entire Station (SOE) site down? Anything to do with station.sony.com for me is acting like it doesn't exist, starwarsgalaxies.com doesnt work, and I can't get past connecting on the launcher...

anyone else having this problem?

The whole web server is down.

cant log in to eq2  or acces the website

Apparently the whole station has gone down but not their servers. Some of my guild are logged in and fine, but no one else can get into the game =/

Oh ok, well atleast it's not just me. I was nerveous there for a second lol.

Hopefully they fix it soon

It is pretty rare when their server goes down that was not scheduled...usually they will put up a maintenance splash page.  I would speculate that they had a hardware failure or network failure of sorts.

if we are lucky it will stay that way

SW/hacker geeks revenge?

 Network at SOE is down.  Maybe a hacker.

I don't like you

Yeah if you try any url with station in it its down, but if you try any url for any game that leads to sony station nothing shows.

That's it they were right they have cut and run and taken all  our pixels with them!

Ya normally some of the sites might be down but the actual station site works... atm nothing for them exists at all.

I was trying to go read the eq2 forums and they were obviously not there.  This is quite common so I didn't really think much of it.  Even as I said when all the various sites (swg, eq, eq2) are down normally I can access the station site.

Maybe Sony is cutting back more than just employees?

Back up,just got into the forums

Yep...its back up.

Looks like it's back up...that was terrifying...I though I wasn't going to have anything to from now until work, I was gonna be sooooo pissed

I can see it now...if you don't fork over cash for the card games you can't access the website. Sounds very SOE.

Hey, sorry iff this is a dumb question, but I'm trying to play the trial and I can log in to Station Launcher, but when I click "star wars galaxies" nothing happens in the new screen other than telling me to changed my browser settings to something they're already set to.

Is SOE still down?
 

No its fine.  It was down that day for maybe half an hour if that.  Not sure about the station launcher though.   I use the swg launcher and to activate trials usualy you have to submit payment info which you would do on the station account.   Not sure about the browser stuff it sounds like your hitting the account update button and not the game launch stuff, because the games dont play in browsers. 

I downloaded the "14 day free trial" from the SWG website and it ended up being only like 2 megs, so I figured it would be similar to the Blizzard Updater for WoW. Once I'm logged in and click "try SWG," this comes up and reads like its trying to go thru my browser, but my ISP has info that comes up:

He could just be highlighting an opportunity that you're at risk of overlooking...

What would happen if people couldn't access SOE games?  Well they might just find themselves an MMO that works, run by a company that doesn't lie to them, and that's populated by a community that hasn't been divided and set at each others' throats.

I remember being upset when my Ford Escort was destroyed by a drunk in a parking lot.  Then the insurance money got me a new car that actually worked lol.  Turned out to be a great day in hindsight.  That Escort was a P.O.S..

yeah that looks like the station launcher which I have not got installed and I have no idea what all that is.   Try going to the station support forums for info there might be stickys.   The info i can see is for it accessing the account update page so you can enter you name etc and you have to have some kind of payment info on file.   So likely you can't get the pop up it needs to open the account.  Try loging into the station pass account manually and activating the trial that way.  I looks like you have an isp that is help happy so try turning that off and install IE 7.0 and see what happens, but all the info being shown is the info its requesting for best compatability to use the station account interface which is online.  If you do that manually its possible the launcher wont want to open that window.

Has it occured to anyone that some of us actually have played and are playing other games?  That we play because we like it in spite of what is said because we made up our own minds?  I think I have played most every title on the market at one time or another including WoW and EVE online.  I know that I closed the WoW account in less then 6 months due to sheer boredom and that EvE online was also so mind numingly borring that I lasted maybe the length of the free trial.   I have also played games that no one has heard off that in some ways beat SWG for complexity.  I continue to play SWG and other games as a result of the fact that I do actually like them and find them better then what others offer.

But do you defend those other games as righteously as you do SWG? Even going so far as to deny completely valid criticism? Your post history doesn't indicate that you do.
