As pretty much everyone else from 4.30 PM GMT, I checked the client constantly. Unfortunately, I was stopped at various stages, like, “Downloading Patch Information” and “Cannot Authenticate to server”. At 5.30, I was quite annoyed and after my post hoping that everyone would get it easy for the 5PM server opening, I was quite pissed.
With the Age of Conan official forums down at the time, there was no way to talk to other players about what happened with the servers. Expecting it all to be sorted out tommorow, I restarted my computer for the 5th time (in case the problems were client side) and was very happy to see this (See Image Below). At last Funcom had released an official note on the matter, and I’m happy that they bothered, instead of letting the community sort out the problems of communication.
Basically, it says that the servers will be back online at 8PM GMT, so be on at that time.
It also seems that the official site and forums are down but I might be wrong, I’m guessing it’s because they don’t want thousands of posts a second, complaining about the servers not working.
Heres what it says if I try to login:
“You have entered an invalid username or password. Please press the back button, enter the correct details and try again. Don’t forget that the password is case sensitive.”
Right now, I’m probably going to put the idea of the “Thinking aloud” plan aside, and try again in a few weeks, probably when I go into a brand new city in game. Sorry for all of those who wanted it, just have some patience, and I’ll try to help you out.

I started like 4 hours after the actual EA launch. Never experienced any problems, it was very smooth
Haven’t experienced any errors as of late, but I hear alot of people are un subbing cause of the bugs.
