Hello everyone,
There was an unexpected network issue that caused a number of our services to be inaccessible. These issues should be resolved now.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.
Thank you,

It was bizarre... I got DC'd and thought.. "okay, no problem"... logged back in and was able to get inside my base and run around but couldn't open any of the storage or interact with anything.
I logged out completely and tried to reboot the client when the Launcher said it couldn't find the NCSoft website. I tried to go to the City of Heroes website to see if anyone else was having problems and was told THAT website didn't exist.
Fearing that Cthulu was about to make an appearance at any moment, I even sent an email to Samuraiko (who now probably thinks I'm even crazier than she did before) to see if SHE was having problems.
Of course, Murphy being the kind soul he is, as soon as I hit send on my semi-hysterical email, everything started working again.
That's it.. I'm going back to bed... maybe I can hit reset on the day.
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
If only someone could compile a list of the possible reasons why this event truly occurred...

2. Someone (as a result of too much coffee and not enough sleep) accidentally clicked restart instead of sleep.
3. They're still running on Windows NT.
5. Null the Gull did it for teh lulz
6. There was some very technical software glitchy thing that I do not have the expertise to fathom.
7. Because you touch yourself at night.
8. The RNG decided that for those ten minutes no-one was getting anything. Don't cry. Here, have a jerkface.
9. It was a Nemesis plot.
10. A wizard did it.
...Oh you wanted Steelclaw to do it.

Positron had to solo Reichsman again, so Posi shut down the servers for a few minutes so they wouldn't get damaged.
States was too busy trying to find people to fight Lord Recluse for him again, of course.

* I said cut the Blue wire! THE BLUE WIRE!
* Beastyle brought his hair dryer to work today... and blew the entire grid.
* Zwillinger was in the server room when he finally hit that high C he's been trying for all these years.
* Tunnel Rat, not knowing any better, crossed the streams.
* The event was actually planned but SOMEONE (here Posi glares at Frietag) obviously didn't read his "Don't tell Steelclaw it actually happened to make him think it was all in his head" email...
* The Intel inside? It got out.
* The CoH Servers now run on the same platform, and therefor have the same stability, as those of Ustream.
* "Red alert! Red alert! We have a fourth wall breech in sector 2! We have a fourth wall breech in sector 2! NPC becoming aware this is a simulation! This is not a drill! I repeat, this is not a drill! Prepare for simulation-wide reality reset!"

That's awesome. I find most of your lists moderately amusing, but that's probably the first one I literally laughed out loud at. Heh, the Intel inside. That's friggin' funny. Poor Tunnel Rat is going to have to see Ghostbusters really soon.
When I read the last one, I couldn't help but imagine one of my characters spontaneously thinking, "Whoa... I know kung fu!"
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)
Yay, a requested Steelclaw list for my only non unbirthday of the year!

Is it just me or did the entire NCSoft network (website, launcher site, game) just disappear for about 10 minutes?
Not that I'm saying it's not possible I was momentarily diverted to a universe where City of Heroes doesn't exist... but that would be a Cthulu universe and I'm sure I would have noticed other odd things...
