Greetings, all--

Momentarily, we will be initiating rolling restarts to address in-game concerns across all realms. We fully expect the downtime to be minimal, and will be bringing each realm back online as quickly as possible. Should any more information come available regarding these rolling restarts, updates will be provided in this thread. For more information along the way, please review the following resources:

Please keep all related discussion isolated to this thread. Additional threads will be locked and/or deleted to ensure that we are able to address our players' issues quickly.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

While those realms my appear on the log-in screen, I do not believe they are eligible to receive players quite yet guys. These restarts have only just gotten underway, after all.

Nonetheless, the appropriate parties are looking into the situation to ensure that everything is progressing as it should.

Okay, guys, all realms should be eligible for log in now.

If you're still experiencing any issues logging into your chosen realm, please let me know. It would be helpful to list the realm you're experiencing issues connecting to in your post (since posting characters are often different from play characters).

Looks as if you found a rather old thread, Neurion. You may want to join the following discussion instead:
