Was able to get on earlier in the day but when I (mistakenly) decided to exit to character selection to toy around with an alt idea, I got booted thanks to a lobby issue and now cannot reconnect whatsoever.

This has been happening way too often lately and it's affecting huge numbers of NA players. SE, even if you can't fix this, can you please put pressure on Level3 to fix their crap? This is absolutely ridiculous.
