Anyone else?

New server? To what purpose?

Random thought.  Brandywine is having issues.

Eh, Brandywine's always a problem-child when new content comes out.  Tonight's pretty clownshoes though.

I dunno. Getting a group occasionally is nice though...

Yeah, I quit for the night after nearly dying to a chump thanks to the game freezing and leaving me helpless while he merrily thwacked away with an axe.  Fortunately it unfroze in time for me to kill the thing, but it was a close call and entirely thanks to the server sucking and dying.

ya was thinking the same thing.  Id prefer to transfer my toons.

I'm not playing right now, but I agree. I'll probably wait a month and see if the issues dry up, somewhat.

I made my characters on Brandywine specifically to meet up with F13 folks.  But they're new, so no real sweat to go and re-make them on another server if there's to be a mass exodus.

I will join any reroll attempt asd I am restarting on a new server anyway.

HAL!  YEAAAAAAAAAAAH!  I am sticking with Brandywine for now, but the lag is almost enough for me to start fresh elsewhere.  I really do not see everyone moving over - ROME is awesome enough for me to give the server techs some more time.

You guys had better do this. Even after the initial new shiny noob wave recedes you'll still have a thriving server. Transferring somewhere else you probably won't.

It wasn't a Brandywine issue last night, the forums mentioned general network problems due to a bad switch. All the servers were shitting the bed.

Ahhhh, ty.  

Official thread, waiting on some kinda update.  Issue is still going on. (http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.php?355982-Server-Issues-September-12-Discussion-Thread-(Official-Turbine-Thread)&p=4965955#post4965955)

edit.  Added link to official response.

Trying to log on right now...

26 minute queue?  WTF?  :ye_gods:

These server issues, after downtime this morning, is underamazing.

I would do some chores around the house for 30 minutes or so.  They got a fix it sounds like, but you know it takes time.

It's ok - I'm 1206 in queue..... 76 minutes.... What the hell? I thought VIP's had priority...

Server seems stable now.  Store is out of commission and their website seems dead.

44 in queue this time, so it's looking like they are letting paid in first.

My client's been saying "..." then getting stuck at Examine Programs for a couple hours now. I wouldn't mind a queue at this point.

still borked here too 4hrs later. 

in other news, also tried to resub last night a few times.  That's also borked:  http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.php?356036-Can-t-upgrade-account-from-premium-to-VIP

Hopefuly it is understood

I can not believe how well this worked out for them. I just re subbed. My brandywine toons were locked out of any quests that they might be able to do. I will log back in to them and take stock. If north downs is unlocked for them its a go. See ya soon guys.

I gotta tell ya, I am having a blast.  Having all my fav. peeps on the game at once is slowing down my levelling - but totally worth it.

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. Gotta tell you about my day it was just that awesome. So I made a captain this morn. Ive noobed enough that I knew I liked this toon and am gonna want one. So i do the newbie getting into chetwood and Cheddar signs on so I send a tell and get an invite. OK, cool I'm cruising and I get to the marsh, going well Ive got all but the marsh queen (tough fight) and the instance in the fort. Being sneaky and tricky I pull all the adds and pull the marsh queen solo. It was not oh it was bad luck Ill try again she slammed me. I didn't have her to half health and I was sucking potions like a wino. In the mean time this toon went second tier farmer at level 10 and had a surplus of barley flour ( this is an I win). So I says to meself What to do? I was 14 and 3/4 so I decided to grind in the marsh to 15 and do my first class quest and give it the old collage try with a plan b of wining in chat until I can find someone who will help me beat this bully. Well the class quest resulted in a purple pole arm that rocks the world. Enough said. Was just a solid night and I am looking forward to pressing on. This game was fun and is even more fun than it was.

Gets better.  At 20+ you can tag along with us for maze runs!

A bunch of folks in my office have started playing on Crickhollow. Not including me, there are two alt-ing from other servers, and twelve new F2P players. Even with the caveat that we're all MMG devs, that's a remarkable figure.

Come to Brandywine.

Now.

Poor Saerthir, lost in limbo and seemingly unloved.
