Can't find login servers

[Voel]

<p>So I run the EQ2 launcher, it downloads updates fine.  Big red PLAY button shows up (but my character select is unavailable, compliments of the server crashes last night).  I click PLAY, the game starts to launch until....  Trying login server #1...#2....#3.... and so on, until finally "Could not connect to a login server.  The servers may be busy; please try again in a few minutes."</p><p>So I'm trying again for the 3rd time.</p><p>And please don't blame my router/firewalls because absolutely nothing on my end has changed since I actually COULD log in last night.</p><p>Is anyone else having issues?</p>
