Login Server Offline?

my "City of Heroes-Updater" is currently trying forsakenly to build up a connection. It's currently at attempt #8. So, since I didn't change anything and it worked fine until yesterday I wonder: Are there any servers offline? Especially the "European" servers?

You can always click on the server status button at the top of the updater in the middle and check for yourself. Hope that helps.

There is no server status for the European servers and there is no such button in (mac OS X) updater. Could anyone answer my question, please?

The American servers are logging in fine for me.

I had this problem for most of yesterday, and it was a routing issue for me. Sorted "itself" out by the evening. On the PC, you can run the main game EXE itself to bypass this, but that's probably not gonna work on OSX.

There is a way to do that on a Mac as well:

Code:
/Applications/City\ of\ Heroes.app/Contents/MacOS/cider -- cityofheroes.exe -project oh
However the game loads without my usual settings (hope they aren't deleted, but I probably can restore them from the hourly backups my Mac creates if they are deleted) and when I log in I don't see the normal servers, particularly not Union, my server, but only a stronge number coded server...

EDIT: The server I see is not number coded but called "UNNAMED" and if I try to log in to it it says "Can't connect to DBServer"

Yikes. I don't have Mac or an EU account so I didn't know the EU players/MAc users didn't have a server status link on their updaters. I hope on of our EY brothers/sisters can help you get this straightened out.

That's because the commandline line, for the EU, should be.

Code:
/Applications/City\ of\ Heroes.app/Contents/MacOS/cider -- cityofheroes.exe -project eucoh
But you still won't get your keybinds.
