i'm still down too. i have a friend who said this "server zone crash" thing happened to her a couple of weeks ago, and it continued several days until the next maintenance. here's hoping maintenance will fix it if they can't get it done sooner.
fig, whats a dns and what does flushing it do?
Still down as of 3:45pm Tuesday. Getting "Server Zone Crashed" & "Server Call Failed" as soon as the Login Que window appears.
Tried the DNS flushing a few times, no luck there. Tried the stop/start dns cache also with no luck.
2pm est and im still getting server zone crashed
Just an update, folks. We have been in close talks with the developers and we are discussing things. Thank you so far for posting your names and exactly what is happening to you. I apologize that there isn't more information at this time to share, but I just wanted to let you all know that we haven't just posted this thread and then forgot about it.
Nope still cant get in, 415 est,The flush thing wont work cause its not on my end hehe
Flushing DNS will not work if the problem is with the game's server! I have tried to connect from 3 different computers on 2 separate networks to make sure it wasn't something with my computer or network! Neither fixed the issue as I continue to be unable to connect. It is currently 4:22pm EST! I'm very understandable about system crashes, but I do hope that Ubi will make it up to those heavily affected by this unfortunate issue!
I did but it did not help at all. still not being able to play.
As of 5:45 PM ET I am still not able to log in. Still receiving the server call failed error.
Just thought i'd add my name here. Been having trouble with the Server Crash and Server Call Fail for a couple days now.
I can guess what happen to my account.
I made this new one to test if i can login to the zues server and it works fine.
The problem is probably a bug in the game. It probably have something to do with the player assigning commands on his island while the server was laggy and buggy 3 days ago. The only thing i did while the server was slow and laggy 2-3 days ago is started my adventure and send my general back and forth and started attacking some camps. One of the last command i did was to assign troops to my general at my island and i tried to send him to the adventure island.
The only other thing i did that might cause problem is upgrading my mine and assign some buffs which appeared after some delay. I think there is some delay in the command i assign on my island. But now the server can not finish or follow my commands anymore causing error on my island. I don't know how the game is design but i know the problem have something to do with people assigning commands when the server is laggy and buggy. Also it might have something to do with trades, i did some trading during the baggy/laggy server.
All you have to do Ubisolf is look at the problem accounts and find the common problem on it. Then you find the bug and hopefully fix it. Those of us that can not login did something that triggered a bug in the game. For example i see some post in this forum about people having problems visiting their adventure island. During the server lag 3 days ago this problem also happened to me. I relog to try fix this but after that i did not attempt to visit my adventure island anymore. Soon after i can not login anymore so i assume i did some trading or upgrade on my island which cause this error on my island.
Ubisolf should have shutdown the server as soon as there is some problems with the server instead of letting people keep playing and causing more problems. Now that the server is back to normal, those people who have errors on their island can not login. I can only see a rollback if that is possible on their account to few hours before the server problems (3 days from this post) when everything is fine to fix this.
My original account is Tinori. Im only posting on this one because i lost the activation email and can not get this dumb site to send me another. So i made this account to post in this forum and test my theory.
6:42pm est 3 days locked out.... :(
6:47pm EST. Still locked out. But it's ok. I'm starting to remember what it was like to have a life. lol.
This is my main account i manage to activate the email. I think it would be more helpful if people also post what they did before they get disconnected.
Wishes! I miss you!
i like the part where u say we will be updating you as we get more information. what 3 days no new information ??????????Quote:

I know you are just PR and have little to do with the game development aspect. We are all frustrated with being locked out,(3 days too) and we all have resources depleting. I was finishing an adventure and I was hoping for just a straight answer, we have all appreciated the hard work that went into it's creation!
still unable to log on.... this is getting frustrating.... I just bought and spent 24K of gems.... and now I am going to lose control of maximizing that benefit.... I don't think I will pay another cent for playing this game....
btw i read in recent article they made $40-60 million this year from this game alone. Beating 9 years of sales on the Settlers franchise PC game.
There is NO WAY they made that much money from this gameQuote:
