So twice now I've seen "We are beginning emergency maintenance" in system message purple and went to log out so I would get rested experience, and twice now I've seen no actual signs of maintenance happening. Now I'm stuck and can't get logged in because the world is full. Have people figured out how to turn their text purple to send fake alerts, or is there something else going on?

If the former is true, that REALLY needs to be fixed. If the latter is true, then what in the world is going on? There's nothing on Twitter or the launcher about it.
