AoD launch issues

[Spidubic]

So finally the game starts to update. Or at least the launcher does. So now I have this weird ass Station.com launcher which does nothing. If I try to log into EQ2 by bypassing the launcher it says the client does not match the server version. But the flipping launcher does not even show EQ2 so I can even try to update it. WTF?

Found a link to the EQ2 download on Sony's site. Downloaded into same directory so it is not doing the entire 12.4 gigs but only the update. Hopefully this solves the issue.

Issue resolved. I guess for whatever reason, maybe not playing for a while my launcher did not update correctly. Downloaded and reinstalled EQ2 which just DL'd 3 gigs rather than the total 12 thanks to only installing whats needed and the game launches fine now. Of course servers are still locked and looks like Sony just extended the downtime till into this afternoon. Why am I not surprised?

Walk thru to fix issues where the old launcher is not update and you end up with a weird Winamp style chat launcher instead of the game launcher.

Wonder who's brilliant idea it was to launch the expansion, go F2P, and start Frostfell in the same update?

Change the title of the post since it is apparent the launch is a bigger issue. Followed along on Facebook last night as the EQ2 team updated their progress. I knew things were going wrong when the updates get further apart then stopped all together. Around 8pm they said servers would be up no earlier than 8pm PST. Then around 7:45pm PST they came on and said it was not happening tonight. They would be back in office at 7am PST and see where they stood. I am hoping the servers are up today but reading between the lines I am really doubting that. Biggest issue at the moment seems to be translating the player database to F2P. Lots of subscription issues.

Latest update on Facebook. Posted at 10pm PST.

"Friends,
A final update this evening... Smed would like us to share that with the Platform Team working all night to complete the maintenance, we expect to be up at 10:00am PST."

Woot!
