That's indeed a way to stop spamming..

I'm on Runnyeye server and I can't access my mailbox, hell I can't even send chats. Also sell and buy of npc's is impossible, it was in Nettleville where I was at that time Maybe this can be used to stop spammers but in meantime I would like access back

I'm on Runnyeye too and can confirm that it's not just Nettleville, it's also Willow Wood, Baubleshire and Antonica - so I guess it's server-wide.  In fact after trying out the various zones I jumped into the forums and found an announcement about it from yesterday: <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=365394" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=365394</a> No updates on it yet so I guess the devs are still investigating. Couple of things I found though are: 1. Tells are working on the trial isle cos the plat spammers have been in operation all morning 2. Buying and selling with NPCs works IF you haven't clicked on the mailbox yet (if you have, simply zone or relog) - it seems to be the mailbox that stops conversations with NPCs (I get the "You are too busy to do a merchant transaction at this time" message if I have double clicked on the mailbox prior to speaking to the NPC).  Also seems that the broker is connected in some way too, as after I clicked on the  broker board in my inn room, every action I tried after said "You are not in a broker situation" (or something along those lines).

Web guildchat affected too?

Click the mail box, it becomes unselectable and guild chat stops too. EFP</p>
