Problems with account server... Again.

[fireether]

I've had this issue before, and it tends to occur late at night, around 2am EST or so.

Basically when I start WinEQ2 around that time (as I did tonight), it will keep saying it cannot connect to the account server. I keep on trying to login and it wont let me login because it cannot contact the account server. End result, I lose all the paid functionality of WinEQ2 because it cannot contact the account server.

Now, I understand why theres an account server in the first place. But does it have a regular maintainance at around 2AM EST or another time around then? Could there be another account server setup, as a backup/mirror account server to verify accounts in case the main server goes down?

I've also verified that my internet works fine. Most of the time when I encounter the account server not reachable problem.. I just keep on trying every 5-10 minutes or every half hour until I get in, usually a hour or so later.

If it has a scheduled maintenance, then I would love to know the time so I can avoid starting wineq2 at that time.

Thanks.

No, we do not have maintenance periods, downtime is few and far between. 2am our time is actually afternoon for our asian friends, one of which has a computer that was hammering our server due to a bug. I'll get this taken care of

I'll let you know via this thread if it occurs again, time/date, etc..

And, thanks.
