I've really been just sitting here flipping through web pages for hours, every time I hear the POL refresh I look up...

My first day back into this game has proven hugely unproductive, who'da thought?

I need a drink.

Went to forums to make a topic but I guess I'm far from the only one having issues.
My friend who lives in UK can log in just fine, but I still can't (I live in the Netherlands). Some of my friends in USA can and some can't. What a bizarre error. I just hope it gets fixed within a day; I'd like to make the most of the double exp / cp that's still going on.

I still can't believe they haven't said anything in regards to this issue. Game was supposed to be up like what, almost 2hrs ago?

Tons of people are having this issue. If you were able to sign on then you are lucky. Also, if you have signed on people that are on are able to sign off and get right back on with no problems while the rest of us can not get on. Got to love SE.

Posted a ticket about this issue. People are posting on official forums and bg wiki forums about having this issue as well.

I had 6 people in my shell from EU that were able to sign on 10 min before maintenance end time. After that no one else in shell has been able to get on. It seems only certain areas are signing back on but most areas do not have access yet. Other people in EU in my shell can not get on so it is a weird issue.

What sucks is that you have to re-farm a Tribulen KI after EACH NM you kill. This forces you to either farm a lot of Slit beforehand in preparation for an evenings worth of Escha NM hunting, or you more or less have to disband and solo your 1000 Slit (since farming Slit as a group sucks).

A little more thought into this concept/process on SE's part would have been nice.
Thought? SE? Are we playing different games here?

Dev A: "Hey guys, we are making a new zone for endgame content, should we actually put appropriately leveled mobs in there?"

Dev B: "Nah, let's stuff more than half the zone with worthless, low level mobs instead."

Dev A: "Genius!!"

My POL screen never changed for me to be able to log in. I had my laptop screen open the entire time while playing Black Ops 2, and every time it refreshed it just went back to "Cannot play during maintenance".

Yeah, only people in certain areas are being allowed on for whatever reason. In my shell there is mainly UK, and Italy people on but other people in EU or NA have not been able to get on, so idk what the deal is.

I suspect that the "behemoth" event "fix" is behind this XD

Guys, let's just limit the amount people who can log in so they can do the behemoth event and that way we don't have to "fix" anything, XD

I think SE forgot to turn the game back on.
Play Online site show all servers are up.
Yoel from France. Plays on PC. He is playing for over 2hrs now. Said 104 people in game.
Been that way for over 2hrs.

Keep in mind that seeing people in the friendlist with the "XI" logo does not necessarily mean they're in the game (their computer or console might be in game but it doesn't mean their game is connected to the server).

I do not know if JP is affected but it is not only NA. Some people in EU are also having issues logging in.

The zone actually offers a great deal to a new/returning player if they are 50+. its more a less a straight shot from entrance mobs to efts/dragons/bugards from 50-99. Great way to get back into the game or start working on a sub as well as farming silt.
