Another Login server address and/or IP change

Repost from other thread:

Please be patient. We have lost our primary login server and our secondary host is currently experiencing technical issues. ETA on their fix for whatever issue they're facing is unknown. Connections may be possible, but sporadic. If you have the patience you can keep trying but there's no guarantee you can get in, but once you're on a character you should be fine.

Until you disconnect or go to character screen, that is. Then you're screwed again.

I have a question about when the login server goes down. If your character is performing a skill action, does the character still gain XP?

Whenever the login server has gone down for me my game tends to lose all connectivity to the server in general. Earlier today while I was performing, my character would stop flourishing and if I tried moving around he would be locked into a performing animation.

This is separate and is called a soft-disconnect. It happens quite often (every 30 minutes or so) in populated places and has nothing to do with the login server. You can see more info about this at the link below, and can also help fix it with some logs if you would like!

Depends. Dancing/playing? Yes and no; for the few seconds that the character remains in the world, you'll get the idle dance/music experience, then disappears and no longer get exp. It just saves your skill animation state when you log in again, but it only counts the exp during those few seconds after disconnecting. The login server and game servers are separate though, if you disconnect from the game due to instability it just means you have to go through the login server again.

There is no value of time really, it merely depends on how many people/NPCs are around the player in loading distance that can cause the connection to desync and be severed. Time merely statistically points towards more of those disconnects, but simply level musician/dancer/etc in an unpopulated area for less disconnects.




Host pings are coming back positive, should be able to log in now, but no update on the status yet so length of stability is unknown.
