Ok I came up with a solution to everyone's problems today with a script to see if the login servers are down - so they know that when it is stuck at 25% it is NOT the game! It's simple. You can either run terminal and input:
Code: 
 ping 73.248.136.133
and if this comes up:
Code: 
7 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 6048ms
or similar, you know the servers are down. If this comes up:
Code: 
7 packets transmitted, 7 received, 0% packet loss, time 100ms
then the servers are up and it's either the client or something not allowing you to connect through the TSO Client (firewall?) and you do need to post something.
You can save the ping command as a script and run it if you like.
 
You gave me an idea. As the site is on php we can have this for banner, or somewhere at the top of the website.

Edit: BTW the image is dynamic pinging the login "server : port" as my signature(works with the game i am playing).We should also have the icon as favicon ;)

It should have that in the code, but with a timer, if it stays on one part of a progress number (e.g: 25%, 50%) for at least 7 seconds, then it will pop up a message saying: "EA.COM is currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again later."

I like that idea.
 
I guess we'll have to see when Afr0 brings the server back up :D
Edit: They both return a ping of 100% package loss.
 
The servers are up:
Code: 
ping 173.248.136.133
Terminal said:
PING 173.248.136.133 (173.248.136.133) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- 173.248.136.133 ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 1999ms

But neither of the IP's return any of the packets.
 
Keep in mind that: "Pinging is a bit inaccurate as it pings the computer and not the connection of the port. So if the computer is running it will always send you a pong back."
 
BTW as i said to Afro already and i confirmed myself as the server is now online, my webspace doesn't support sockets(which are used to ping the server). I guess i'll find another way, or maybe send the script to afro's webspace if he wants.
