LOL ain't that the truth.... and considering i would put money that this MMO is running on windows servers, that makes it even harder to debug anything since windows is such an unstable, memory leak prone operating system to begin with.
Actually the servers are more than likely running a custom OS designed to run the game and diagnose issues and nothing else. You don't want precious runtime taken up with unnecessary processes with a game this size.
Things are up an running now. You may see an error or odd issue with the launcher - keep trying! The game servers are up and running. See you in game. Thanks for being so patient during our downtime during Open Beta.
Glad someone read through my wall of text. Same here, I just logged back in. Literally, the launcher won't connect if it doesn't launch the first time. The "1991" page is nothing but unformated HTML; Some of you guys might see it in IE instead. Just enter your password and press enter.
If you get through, then sweet, wait for the patcher to finish loading and play. If you don't WAIT A MINUTE and relaunch the launcher after closing it. Don't spam the thing, or you'll be the reason nothing loads. Dead serious, don't be part of the enormous amount of people who are flooding the patch/login servers by constantly relaunching / F5 etc.

This is what they get for using .NET technology.
I must say this to the devs. WHY THE F***ED ARE YOU USING .NET FOR THE LAUNCHER!!!!!!!!!???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously.. Of all the lame HAMSTER M$ has created, the .net framework is the buggiest. Even Adobe air is more stable. It's bringing up IE 1st run privacy bullsh!t. THAT SHOULD BE A RED FLAG. Seriously, be brave, and make the launcher in Qt or something. Please. Even Python or Java. Just not this .net...

What i love about PW, They jump right there and then to fix stuff , they don't wait a week like other mmos. Keep up the great work.
It's been for three hours now that i can't load the game: when i run the launcher it keeps saying that "it can't connect to the patch server", does anyone know what it is?
I think it might have been me last time server crashed I was searching for corsair bracer or something on AH.
Will check when I get back in and the search was still there so decided to try again, did say in zone chat was going to do what i was doing before server crashed and that if it crashes again it was me.
Did not think it would really happen :-S

you know the janitor should not be trying to clean server towers with windex if just is not a good thing. I know that the servers are old and covered in dust but that does not help the issue
UPDATE: We need to perform emergency network maintenance. ETA downtime: 1 hour. Stay here and we'll update you with new details. That was about 10 mins ago.
Way to stay on top of bugs during the beta... dont mind the n00bs who do not understand what a BETA is.
Agreed 100%!!
It's really important to do a thorough beta and get all the problems and bugs ironed out before you launch a game and start taking money from paying customers!
