Having problems connecting today? Have Adelphia as your internet service provider? Then read on:
We are currently investigating a problem which has surfaced outside of our network that seems to be specifically affecting players who subscribe to Adelphia internet. We are working with several ISPs to isolate the issue and seek a resolution. Please also note, at 4:30 PM PDT a routing change will occur which may cause a brief disconnection. This change is being made as part of the troubleshooting process which we are currently engaged in.
The original post, made by Eyonix, can be found here. We will also keep you abreast of any updates on the matter. Until then, might I suggest a good internet cafe? You’re looking pretty pale there anyways, time to go out and get some sun!
UPDATE:
11:40 am PDT
There was a bug within the character transfer system that was found and in order to address this the build was reverted. Our intent is to remove the Secret Question and Answer from the realm to realm transfer requirement however it will still be necessary for the account to account transfer
This just in:
We have confirmed reports of an issue affecting some players during the final payment step of the Paid Character Transfer. This issue causes these players to be put in a repetitive “loop” where they are prompted over and over for their Secret Question answer and their payment information, without progressing further. This “loop” appears to be affecting both realm-to-realm and account-to-account transfers.
We are looking into this issue with high priority. If you are encountering this problem, we apologize for the inconvenience. As our teams work to identify and resolve the source of this loop, we recommend those affected try the process again later on in the day. We will also look to posting here once we have confirmed a fix is in place. Thanks very much for your patience!
We’ll keep you posted.
