2. The NPC says that they are "Currently Unable to connect to the World Pass Center - please try again later."

Other details:
- I previously had a valid Gold Worldpass, which the player used, but deleted the character to change a detail chosen at creation (Starting nation) - they could not reuse it and I could not purchase another until it expired (Last night around 7 PM Central)
- I asked an LS mate to purchase a Gold Worldpass to verify that the system is working for others, and they were able to successfully obtain one.

I was able to purchase a gold worldpass after claiming my 40 day recruited player bonus item from the NPC by speaking to him with the player who recruited me.
