stuck at 98%

[krnasaur]

ever since this update when i try to launch PS2 I get stuck loading the game at 98%. This is before the character select screen.

Anyone else getting this issue?

Same here, first it gets stuck at 48%, then if you wait some it goes to 98% and just stops there.
SOE Forums have all servers "Locked", so I wouldn't worry too much, they probably haven't restarted the servers yet.

Servers are still locked from the update. Keep checking the official forums.

They were up but are now down again ... SS different week.

They are being restarted to "lock out external players", which looks awfully like a blank placeholder message i recall from all the way back in beta. It can mean anything from "server hamster died" to "accidently uploaded the beta client", but generally along the lines of "something is fucked up and we try to un-fuck it".

That's just my guess though.

EDIT:

EU Servers locked:
