You can both play on the same server, even you both bought the game with different languages on the box.

If you can't connect still, try closing and restarting the client. If you still can't connect, post here and let me know what server you're trying to get on.

So for the record, it was a problem on our end, not Sony's end, and I think it was 100% unrelated to the network blip.

Turns out we had a DNS cache that timed out and failed to refresh correctly, which prevented the login server for each cluster from talking to SOE's authentication servers, because they couldn't resolve the auth server names to IP addresses.

I think I'll put measures in place tonight before I go to bed to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Your posts came almost instantaneously after disconnection, you guys are really on top of things over there. I hope this issue with Sony gets resolved. Keep up the great work and hope to see you in game sometime, preferably on my side.
Well, there's this mission I've been having trouble with and I've been trying to beat all night ... nah, that's not why I would have known RIGHT when it went down, is it?
