Login Problems - Thursday, September 5 [EverQuest II]
from ZAM News (full)

UPDATE: We have discovered that the reason behind these issues is that there was an SOE-wide maintenance that started at 3am PDT and ran through 6am PDT. You can see the announcement here on the Vanguard forums. UPDATE 9:25am EDT : Login servers are working for now! We also see SC balances in-game. As of 9:15am EDT (6:15am PDT) the EverQuest II login servers are down for a second time this morning. The first round players were receiving a black box in place of the launchpad; this time around those who are character hopping or zoning are getting booted with a"login rejected"message. The Marketplace SC balances and Krono were also unavailable while in-game.

Digging deeper, I spoke with senior producer Terry Michaels during a roundtable session about some of the finer details surrounding that announcement. We also went a little further into Rallying Calls and how it’ll feel to take part in them.
