We're getting some posts in somewhat random places about issues players are having logging in and/or staying connected to the AB and Luclin servers --appears that Luclin server is the more recent issue.
See the official Daybreak forums in which Roshen (a dev) has replied "we are looking into it" if this is an issue that impacts you.
Hopefully this is resolved soon rather than spreading to more servers.

Luclin (and AB) server issuesFollow
Yeah, I wonder why they don't have better reporting software... they should get notice of server issues before the players.
One thing possible, the warnings go to defunt emails of gone emplyees, and the current Daybreaker employees don't know how to, or cannot, change that. Of course, they should be able to edit the server and get up to date logs and warnings from their own servers.
Well, yes, I am saying they should be doing better with this.

The stability issue on Luclin, to me, has all the hallmarks of a hardware problem. It certainly doesn't feel like what I'd expect for excessive load, a DDoS or a database problem.
While I don't know much about how EQ servers are structured under the hood, I think something keeps going wrong with the component that lets groups of zones talk to each other. The other day, I was able to zone from CR to Blightfire just fine by walking across the zoneline, but when I tried to port to Blightfire from Blightfire, it failed, taking a long time to do so. If I'm right and groups of adjacent zones are running in the same process or thread but teleporting uses a different mechanism (as it probably would because it doesn't know up front where you might be porting to), then there's probably something wrong with however that communication mechanism works. Which, due to the way it keeps happening, smack of a hardware problem.
I'd think that DBG would get some kind of report about this, but it's entirely possible that, thanks to ancient weird artifacts, they wouldn't. Also, if the servers are running something really antiquated (like Windows NT 4.0, heaven forefend...) some of that data might not even be available easily.
Not that all this speculation matters much, but dash it all, I'm a sysadmin and someone who, when faced with a problem, wants to understand and fix it.

The same issue that Luclin is now experiencing has been going on on AB server for 2 months now..and counting.
For me it is unplayable the way intermittent lag (as much as 10 or more secs) affects me = splat by the time the lag fades..
But what makes it hard to take is the complete lack of communication from DBG to the player base on AB. I have not even played for weeks as in game ping is normal making one feel it is okay..But when you get out there and start to play it is not. Then there is the server crashes at random it seems..Also ongoing for the last two months.
It is getting hard to keep subscribed as all access when one cannot even get a decent session in for so long. This on AB server.
