This is what games do now. Dont make us wonder and spend a bunch of time searching the internet. all it does is drop a heavy load on your forums. One little light on the client. "green" everything is groovy. "yellow" things are iffy, if you cant get in try again in a minute. "red" busted to hell, dont bother.

Even better would be a link on the client to an official post about the issue. Even betterer, the post wouldnt sound like it was written by 5 corporate Japanese execs. "holy hell our stuff is all messed up on this end, not sure why but we are workin on it, we think Sam spilled his coffee on something important. we will get back to you with an ETA for a fix when we arent busy working our asses off" That would make us so super happy.

(what in the hell is with the post limit?)
