This morning we experienced a brief network outage that affected all SOE games and websites. Crack SOE Network and Operations Ninja’s flashed to the scene and worked their kung-fu furiously to get things back in action for you. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused, but things look to be under control and stable pending any other giant monster attacks on the server room. Thanks for your understanding.

No hamsters were harmed in the restoration of network capacity…

(I know I don't post here on normal days, but I don't want you guys to not get the word. Please forgive my attempts at humor, the EQII folks are used to it... )

UPDATE:
It also appears that a great number of people have lost their forum ranks and can not post. I have contacted the forums team so they can look into this. (/me heads off to find out who invoked Murphy's Law today.)
