All the SOE support and commerce sites have been down since yesterday for "emergency maintenance." SOE isnt talking much about the problem. I read a story in Toms Hardware that PlayStation Network was the first to go down, and that SOE has not ruled out an outside attack.
As of now, EQ2 is running okay, although there are spotty issues with login.
Thats as much as I know. SOE does post updates on their Facebook page.
