Not sure yet if that is the actual lobby server address, but this server drops every time I have issues with getting past the launcher or start page. I only stumbled on this because I was trying to whitelist common IP's and was watching netstat while logging in.
It's doing it again. Symptoms range from dimmed start button, to server lists not loading, and no character data.
Submitted report through portal again, although no one may be there to receive it today.... pulling this to the front again just in case someone in Japan is watching the forums.
