"maintenance"
ETA is 6:30pm eastern
check the notes on the herald. Best place to usually go to find out
Status: Maintenance in progress.
All North American and Ocean servers will be coming down immediately at 3:30 PM EDT. We will update with an ETA as soon as more information is available. Please keep an eye here for updates, thanks!
Update - 10/09/2008 3:40 PM EDT: We expect the servers to return by 6:30 PM EDT.

It's down because they're fixing some login issues.
No more being able to need on stuff that you can't use (except from level) in scenarios, take that you ninja looting monkey junkers!
The Servers are down because of login issues. I got the message when i was ingame
The truth is out there SOMEWHERE ?
On the patcher it says the status of the servers on the upper right, plus you can go to the herald section of the website and it says that they are down for maintainance.

No.. they are down for a patch, which includes some fixes and some new features:
- bonus to influence/xp for certain under populated realms on some servers, to attract new players
- more code to fight gold spammers
- a join-all-queues for scenarios button
- siege engine interface fixes
- no more afk'ing in scenarios.. you get kicked out after 2 mins and can get no xp/rp while in the spawn area
- no more needing on stuff thats not usable by your class in scenarios (forced), elsewhere the group leader can turn the feature on
- pet improvements
plus much more

Actually, that patch you're referring to was already in game when they took the servers down for log in issues. I know it is a fact because I saw the Join All button on the scenario tab when I went to sign up and before they took them down this afternoon.
Log in issues was the reason they gave in game when the servers came down about an hour or so ago.
i was wonderign why it went down. hopefully they will fix what ever was causing people problems.
as for the patch today i am super glad they add the join all button for scenarios, and the loot thing., that really helps.

As said above... the game was down from 7:30am EDT or so until 12:30pm EDT or so for the patch. Now it's down for login issues that arose from that downtime.
Oh apparently you are right, the patch was earlier today then the servers were up.. then down again.. guess I am just too happy about the no needing thing, too many thieving gobos trashing my upgrades

There was boo boo in the patching someplace. So now they are fixing that.
I'm with you there. I'm thrilled that Mythic took a stand on the need issue. Often in scenarios, I'll be honest and say I don't have the time to really look at what's come up to roll on so I always rolled greed just in case it wasn't for my class. Wonder how many upgrades I lost out on because I didn't roll need when I should have?

Yeah, in game they blammed it on "log in issues", but the server pop seemed on par with any other weekday afternoon and I haven't seen any actual complaints by people not being able to log in.
So, I'm making a wild guess some wierd and easy to find exploit crept into this patch and they needed to fix it, or they made some other big boo boo.

I had a huge memory issue on my computer while playing today after the patch. I was playing in slow mode for about 10 seconds then everything stopped and crashed.
It's patch day. In this case, was a bug. Here is Mark Jacobs saying it:
