Alla's forum show other people got booted and can't log on either... will keep trying

[Viric]

Thought my interwebs died but isitup.org, downorisijustme.com and downforeveryoneorjustme.com all showing everquest.com as being down.

So much for my little 1.5 solo raid.

[Breniar]

I must be bad luck.  I had planned on showing up tonight.

Looks like all of San Diego is affected by a blackout at the moment.

Due to a power outage in San Diego, you may have issues playing SOE games.

[Ssark]

I am guessing SOE is up, but some net connections between them and us are down.  I mean, I work for just a $1B corporation (small compared to SOE's resources I'm sure) and we not only have redundant power from different sources, but also a huge set of UPS batteries (in a cement room) and on top of that 2-3 generators.

Also been trying to log in for raid =/ Its still not working!

[Ssark]

Widespread power outage is bad.  Right now, no one is taking off from the airport in San Diego, and the Zoo is closed, etc.  This is a pretty big deal for the poor folks who live in SD County.

[nubatamax]

getting "operation timed out" message when I try log in atm.

[Ssark]

I can only imagine Furro doing *shakes fist* right now.

[Irtem]

Figures, finally home early on a thursday and i cant raid, thought i had another virus but my prayers are with  the familys of South California

[Marinoni]

Now I see what is going on. Even the Sony homepage is down.
Sorry that you lost your raid Viric.
I am off to Ultimate. See you all Friday.

[Huevos]

Furro will need to move to San Diego to keep his playtime moving !

Hope that was empty handed.

Looks like power will be out in San Diego for awhile, thru the night and into the morning.
