Error 1014 - World data could not be obtained

Looks like we're starting a repeat of yesterday's server failure, only more widespread. Like yesterday, I got booted without warning, and upon trying to reconnect, the game closed out completely. I can log in to the launcher, but initially, I couldn't even connect to my data center (Primal), although I can connect to Aether (for all the good it does me). I was getting error 5006 (lobby server connection error).

However, now I am able to connect to Primal, but not my world (Diabolos). When I try to select a character, the character doesn't show up, and when I try to log in with the character anyway, I get error 1014.

Today's been a crappy day for me, and is only getting worse. Too bad my main escape has to follow suit.

You are aware this is the second failure in as many days. They're probably doing emergency maintenance to make sure the problems don't keep happening at this ridiculous frequency. Be patient.

It's 4:40 PST and it's STILL down

I've never known of a PROPER maintenance to take less than 3 hours. Calm down, go grab a drink, and wait.

Oh my Lord !!! Two Hours....the end is nigh!!!!!
It's a game, ones and zeros. Let's all go associate with a real life person....maybe even a person of the opposite sex and see what happens! Who knows we all may like real live people! ;)

The server status shows Diabolos as being online. Does that mean that some people can log in, while others cannot? In the past 2 hours you have nothing new to report?
Any chance of estimated timeframes? Or will we just be informed 3 hours after it's fixed?

last time this happened it was the ISP host that was down. if this happens as frequently as it has been, why not switch ISP's that are hosting it?
