DDO is down too. No notice. I wish one day MMO companies use separate hosting for forum and the game so that when one goes down, other channel of communication stays open. Now I could be browsing DDO/LOTRO forum and imagining some alt build but I am looking at Rift do and EvE instead. GJ.
It looks like their whole subnet is down if you do a traceroute. It gets to internap, which I assume is their hosting provider in Boston, and it reports "destination net unreachable", indicating a severe router outage. I wouldn't have thought it, but it seems that LOTRO/Turbine has no geophysical redundancy, very sad.
Well, this blows. I was looking forward to getting out of Moria today, and recording at least one video podcast in LOTRO today. I gues I'll just have to suck it up and go play some WoW instead, dangit.
Currently playing: LOTRO, Rift (beta) and WoW (on occasion)
maybe its karma after turbine ruining the two greatest fantasy IP's.
The did not ruin them, they just turned them inside out. Strategic turn based game turned into siple action FPS and low magic Odyssey tuned into flashy slaughterfest. But they are quite succesfull in hiding the trust behind the facade and people actually feel the IP is somehow respected.
I was viewing the EU site (cause I cant get on any US servers)and they are having an extended 2 hour maintenance there can,t find anything on the US servers
Well I am guessing Turbine finally got hacked because they felt they were perfect and all the account hack issues was soley the players...
Brandywine down cause the Populs are taking a nap.

http://www.facebook.com/LOTRO also has updates and suggestions as to what the problems are and possible remedies... much more entertaining then watching the following: Getting data centers... the underlying connection was closed: The remote name could not be resolved. Count down to next attempt: 00:13...
