Mapserver being iffy?
Same. It first happened to me at about 1:30AM Pacific on Virtue. Just happened again about 5 min ago.
Same here. Having periods of problems and then periods where everything is perfectly fine.
Still having problems. Continuous DBserver drops, "Cannot connect to server" messages, and now I can get to my character screen but the moment I try to enter the game world I freeze for 5 minutes and then get the message "No mapServer connection. Try again." Then I'm returned to the login screen.

I've been having the same problem. It happens for me every time I try to load a mission or into a zone. Same deal with logging in as well.
I also noticed the forums not wanting to load right away as they should. Sometimes a page will just hang trying to connect and it will take me several attempts to get it.
Whew! It's not just me! Haven't been able to log into game since 2:00 am PST. (Liberty)
I've checked my entire network, and everything is working fine. I keep having issues with the DBserver upon login, and I also keep getting logged out of the game while trying to load missions. "No connection to Mapserver."
I also keep getting the "cannot connect to server" upon login.
