"Never try to logon on maintenance day" - this rule saved me a lot of time and nerves.
But muh event tickets! I will be annoyed if I miss a day. It's a tight budget to get all the things I want as it is, missing 2 will throw a spanner in the works.
The PC-EU Megaserver was taken down for maintenance earlier to help with this issue. The server is now back up so please let us know if you continue to have issues logging in or with loading into areas.
