Sometimes this occurs (it may have been fixed). Usually changing the camera angle 'brakes' the loading screen so u can play.

OK, now it's hanging on the initial login screen, you know, the on where you put account name etc in, says "connecting to login server" and that just keeps blinking.

WTF is going on?

EDIT: it's definitely a problem with Excalibur, I just logged into Prydwen fine on both my accounts.

are you on NTL by any chance?

We are having problems here too in Lincoln, web pages are getting more and more difficult to open, and cant connect to the game.
Appears to be an intermittent problem because my msn is still working fine.

But what's really weird is I can log into Prydwen fine on both my accounts.

That tells me my install of DAOC etc is fine, but I can't see NTL using a different route to Prydwen as opposed to Excalibur, I would've thought that would happen only at the very last server/router hop before the server itself...really, really, really fucking annoying though.

I got the same problem. NTL near Lincoln :(

Done a pingplotter to prydwen server.... OMFG at all the red on it. If I could upload it somewhere I would show you it.

77 D/C in 10 mins.... That's like.... BAD!

Nice one NTL! :flame:

Problem seems to be :

nott-t2core-a-ge-wan71.inet.ntl.com
nott-t2core-b-pc1.inet.ntl.com
nth-bb-b-so-200-0.inet.ntl.com

Mainly the first one. The other 2 are after it so could be a symptom of the first one being borked :p

I gave up ringing NTL when all they told me was 'it was working as intended'.
Think I heard that before :D

Just to convince you to do something other than play daoc.
Turn your computer off and go to bed.
