Yeah. I know that now, but I didn't check the main site for all the information. The only notice I saw was on the launcher, and that was for the maintenance for all worlds tonight.

Always scroll down on those don't just go continue if you had scrolled down you would have known NA servers would be down for maintenance for a whole day. SE did inform players as much as possible excluding emails directly to everybody so you not knowing is entirely on you.

Tried making a PSA thread about it to try and help those who would be affected know so they don't spam the forums with can't log on threads like what happened with EU next time not bothering >_>

Well, to be on their defense, they posted exactly at the same time, so they could have missed it.

How long is maintenance going on for? Do you or anyone know? Been hours for me so far.
