Wintergrasp bug plaguing servers after 3.1.2

by Alex Ziebart May 19th 2009 at 7:00PM

We're getting tons of reports in of Wintergrasp behaving a bit oddly today, and I can confirm them to be true on my home server of Cenarion Circle. Wintergrasp battles are lasting, at most, 5-10 minutes with no more than 10 minutes between battles. Good for farming Marks of Honor, not so good for trying to kill Archavon and/or Emalon.

If this is how you try to lower the lag Wintergrasp causes on servers, I think the quote "ur doin it wrong" applies. In all seriousness, I'm kidding about that and this is obviously not working as intended. Considering the Mark and Honor gains people are getting from this, I wouldn't be surprised if we see some emergency maintenance and rollbacks soon. I wouldn't get too attached to your gains this afternoon.

Your server has nothing to do with authentication.

DareD May 19th 2009 7:18PM

Yea, it seems there's an authentication server issue right now... Le Sigh. I don't remember these sorts of issues in UO...

Kitten May 19th 2009 7:11PM

You guys aren't the only ones stuck at authenticating. I'm on Echo Isles and it's.. well.. messed up. That's the nicest way to put it. Hope it gets updated soon.. so we know what's going on. Oh.. you guys rock, by the way.

This from the official forums:

Re: Realm Maintenance - 5/19/09 05/19/2009 03:07:09 PM PDT

All realms are live and available for play.

We are currently experiencing some issues with the authentication system that is preventing some players from logging in. We are actively investigating these issues and will provide further updates as soon as we can.
