With just 10 minutes notice, all SOE games went offline this afternoon after this posting on Twitter:
We will perform maintenance on all SOE games at 3:00PM PST. All players will be kicked from game at this time, and will need to log back in.

Planetside 2 Producer David Carey provided a bit more detail:
Restarting our login servers, players will be required to re-log #planetside2

One hopes that whatever this fix is will resolve the lingering login and access issues with SOE games and forums, particularly the “403 Forbidden” errors on all forums. If you are lucky enough to get the forums to load, you can read Afista’s announcement here:
We will perform emergency maintenance on all SOE games at 3:00PM PST. All players will be kicked from game at this time, and will need to log back in. Downtime beyond needing to relog should be minimal.
Thank you for your patience.
Whatever they did it did not work. I am still getting the 403 Forbidden error LOL.
You’re not the only one 😕
The forums are still borked, but at least I can log into the game to play.
Looks like chat channels are acting up a bit this morning again. Fun and games.
Hey, at least H1N1 or whatever is up…
And now we have some spammer filling the EQ2 forum with some odd message in the General Gameplay section.
Still can’t get into the forums. I suppose there is progress because I now get two eroors; the dreaded 403 as well as permission denied 🙁
Do they just use free interns for this stuff?
I’ve not been able to log into the official forums for almost a week, now. Did they break them or something?
Oh they (the forums) are broke, badly broke. All types of errors and no fix in sight.
Sorta like the current graphic issues in the game for a lot of players, come to think about it.
Game runs like garbage this morning. Can’t zone anywhere
Whatever they did, didn’t work.
