The latest patch downloaded and disabled all server selections for the client. The web page shows that all servers are up yet each server is grayed out and representative by three gray dots. I did not have this problem as of 25Aug2010 and it only started after the automatic patch for today.

I'm not sure why you're not seeing it on the web page, but they are having an emergency outage. Scheduled to be back in 15 minutes at 6:45pm EDT.

Just checked - Server Status page shows all servers down for me.

Oh this is killing me, I just installed Crossfire (Two ASUS HD5850s)... lol

I do like that they keep up with maintenance and the like. It shows that I will get my money's worth for this product with such excellent service. I still do not know why people get enraged when these things happen....they could just let it break and no more City of Heroes haha.

Thank you to the guy that posted the link, I was concerned as well.

Thanks for the responses. I think it was the timing of the thing that got me. I had logged on successfully the day before and then just happened to perfectly patch and try to connect at the time of the outage today. I see the posted outage now along with the links given. I think the fact that servers showed up on the main page yet was all grayed out on the client is what confused me.
