    There is an internet issue affecting players with certain ISPs in certain countries today. It's not exactly on Cryptic's end, so there isn't much they can do about it.

    Just to let toy know that my connection as no problem and i can't login to the game so claiming here that is not to do with cryptic it's talking a bit too much...

    I started having this issue yesterday as well. The problem happened every time a queued event launched. The application would close out. When I restarted the game, I was prompted to start normally or safe. I selected normal each time and ended up in the queued event which started without me. Luckily I was able to catch up to the party and continue. I did not have any issue upon completion of the even going back to Enclave.

    I get the same thing, however, the weird thing is a friend on the same isp is in and playing.

    If you were logged at the time of the "malfunction" and did not log out then you can play normally (just crossfinger to do not disconnect)....

    I was logged on at the time of the "malfunction", but the game kicked me out when I went to change character. Having problems now like everyone else...

    I got in after a few tries as I've said but then saw I wasted my time cuz this is what I saw on-screen and in chatbox " [Admin] Attention Adventurers: The shard will be coming down for maintenance in 5 minutes. Thank you for playing Neverwinter. "

    I am an IT Professional. My ISP is not down, tracert shows that this is an issue on Cryptic's end. Cryptic needs to quit passing the buck and fix the issues.

    Looked like 3 hours to me. Apparently all the hamsters got loose again.
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.
