Severe Everquest 2 Downtime Over the Weekend
thebostonblogger wrote in to alert us that Everquest 2 experienced almost 24 hours of downtime this weekend. The development team eventually resorted to hourly updates to keep the players informed and to reduce the number of overturned cars. According to John Smedly's note there will be a period of accelerated xp gain this week to offset the downtime this weekend. Commentary available from usual suspects Terra Nova and Grimwell Online.
Over the weekend there were scattered reports of pale, sunken-eyed zombies wandering around. Witnesses said they appeared to be in some sort of stupor and mostly just spent their time shielding their eyes from the sun and groaning something that sounded like "logginserverdown".
