Dec. 8 Service Outage

On Saturday, December 8th between approximately 2:00 AM CST and 12:00 PM Noon CST, the Lineage service experienced significant interruptions due to hardware failures at our server housing location. Due to a number of circumstances, NC Soft was not quickly informed as to the nature of the issue, was not able to resolve the issue in an acceptable time frame, and in turn, did not provide that information to our customers in a timely manner on this website.

The hardware issue involved a switch failure at the service provider level and was fully resolved by them around mid-day Saturday. The affect on the service may have caused resultant lag and intermittent disconnects on the server during that time.

We would like to apologize to any customers who experienced interrupted or inadequate gameplay on Saturday. In addition to escalating this issue to our service provider, we will be reviewing and updating our communication procedures to assure that this sort of lapse does not occur again.

i laged that day and lost about 11% and and my +6 rap because of it. i just laged about 5 mins ago because of their server and i hope i dont come back later dead with another lost item. If NC doesnt give us somethng back for this i bet they will lose alot of custumers because people who are lvl 40+ it takes days just to get 10% sometimes

I just got back in the game 10 mins ago and NC wrote that they are are sorry that it happened and it shouldnt happen again and they wont give back exp but will look into lost pets or items. And then just 3 minutes it disconnected again. I'm lucky i was in town this time but I know other people werent as lucky. This is annoying

I realize that hardware goes down, but we pay money therefore they should have backup hardware in place. This is the first company that I have heard of the has 24/7 server with no backup in place. Especially odd since I work for a computer company!!!!!!!!!!!

It took 2 days for them to acknoledge the problem with their susposed hardware problems It may take more time for them to acknoledge the problem with their bed buddy Exodus.net In any case by a refusal to acknoledge the problem,, they are just hurting the people they are spending money on to come and play.


Keep throwing your cash out the window NCI! And maybe Tabula rasa will get cancelled by NCSOFT. NC-korea already KNOWS the code for the game came from the giant burn party at RG's property when you all were laid off and susposed to burn the Ultima world online code (uo2). Susprise NCI, they know the base code was already written and you guys spent the money on dinners for people and parties.

Don't threaten them with violence. That's just morally wrong and illegal.
Use your brain! IF this keeps up, RG's rep is gonna be quite low for at least 20 years if I have anything to post about it! If they cannot give it(lineage) the care it deserves and Have RG call him self a NCSoft man! LOL, they give tabula rasa 30 programmers/artists! Lineage gets one translator guy who translates things wrong over and over again!

To see this game grow, experience the good and the bad and still keep play after it goes pay to play for a crazy price, I would expect that NCI would by now with all the money we gave them to but/get a better server/provider. That they would, because of our money, make improvements and updates and the whole kitten-kabudal(I think my spell is wrong)a whole lot better. Because they could spend more for better stuff, pay more people to work on and develope the game the way we like it. NO!!!!!!!! What do they do, the hire some stupid bun, who I think is a horrible person from his actions with his games and a complete idiot. And do stupid things to the game that make the people who started to play leave. I've been playing for 3 years now, darn if I now go back. Maybe things will change, when the hire people who play the game and understand what is fun, challenging and how the players think the game should be. Thats the whole point to the suggestion email site right? Its over for now, laterl...
