• • Servers and forum down for last 24 hours. Anybody else experiencing?

  •    I must say I've been enjoying this game for the last week or so.

    First impression was rubbish and I nearly uninstalled it straight away. You cannot customize your character when creating him, instead you just choose a carbon copy of "fighter" or "wizard" and thats it. Same clothes, hair, as everybody else. I hate being a clone in a sea of clones, just like lineage2. Not off to a good start. I was also stuck in a silly tutorial that i could not bypass and couldn't get into a newbie hunting zone to just level up and check out the game. Bad show, grenado espada.. bad show.

    But I gave it a second go, mainly due to my other MMO closing temporarily, and because i spent friggin 5gigabytes of my monthly internet cap on it.

    Now I'm hooked.

    Gets much better as you go along. I like the minion mobs system. Combat is fast paced and you kill stuff left right and centre. I like the animations/stances and the idea of levelling 3 characters at once. Heck theres even autopilot to take the edge off grinding. Perhaps this game will wear off, but I'm willing to find that out.

    Around Friday I had a crash to desktop. I rebooted and tried reconnecting. Nothing. Appears the servers are down. Okay, probably just a scheduled downtime. After 8 or so hours, still down. Nothing on the website to indicate that its down for extended period of time due to major patch/ content upgrade/ hardware upgrade ect. Okay maybe they poorly publicise this stuff. I go to check forum. Forum will not load up. Seems like all their servers are offline. I reinstalled SotNW just to make sure my client isnt damaged (wouldnt explain forums not loading up, but worth a shot). Still same thing.

    Yet when I check fansite forums and this forum, i dont see lots of people complaining about servers being offline. Infact, one website (portcoimbra.com i think) indicates that all servers are up. But can i trust the accuracy of that site.. who knows.

    Mystery. Shame, this game was just warming up to me. 24 hours is a big downtime, especially not to have publicized it in game chat and on the front page. Anybody know whats going on?

    Can YOU get in?
