Is there currently a server outage?

I immediately get a 90002 error "Connection with the server lost" after the loading screen when I select my character. I tried relogging in several times.

Some of my friends have been having the same problem. They seem to be having some issues with the servers at the minute. If you keep trying to log in, you should be able to get in before too long.

I can login but i have a different issue.
There are times where the connection works perfectly and then it´s piss-poor all of a sudden.

Had it just half an hour ago and then suddenly it works perfectly again as if there never have been an issue.

It gets annoying and dungeons are impossible.
Also mining, fishing or doing any kind of crafting has many delays.

Internet itself works fine as allways.

It looks like there may be something down between a chunk of parts of the US and the NA server farm.

Go here to find the address of your server (new ones are not there):

Then take your address, and go to your command prompt, and type "tracert <that address>" without the quotes or brackets, hit enter. It will ping everything that your info goes through to get to your server farm, and give you an idea of where the connection is being a pill. There's nothing at all to be done with the information (except the knowing where your blame is or is not appropriate), but sometimes hops timing out on running the trace route will encourage your computer to try and find a different way to get there.

This can happen due to all sorts of things -- power outages, extreme weather, vandalism, somebody doing maintenance. It usually resolves itself swiftly, but sometimes the 'down' point is at a bottleneck where there's no other way to get where you're trying to get.

It's really neither SE or your ISP's fault, generally, though if your "route" doesn't update very quickly to go around blockages, that's USUALLY on the ISP side of things. It COULD be on SE's ISP's side (something down in the last stretch), but even as enormous as they are they too are at the mercy of their provider.

Unfortunately, 100% uptime does not and cannot exist at our current level of technology related infrastructure.
