I was able to log in after I made the original post above. However, it seemed the entire server must have disconnected as there were over 3000 in the queue on Midgardsormr. I also tried a character I have on Cactaur and there were over 4000 in queue there. Switched back to my main on Midgardsormr and traveled to Dynamis. Even though I can't access my retainers there, I'm planning on staying there until all of this smooths out.

I'll miss my FC, though.
