I got booted from the game around 10:30 am eastern time. Upon trying to log back in, i'm getting either:

A system error has occurred: -2146697211
HTTPS System Error

or I can put my login credentials in but hitting play does nothing.

Trying to ping the Crystal Datacenter results in full packet loss.

Speaking with a fellow FC member from the same state as I am (Pennsylvania) and on the same ISP (Comcast); they too are having the same issues.
