And not only are we currently unable to load NA/EU servers, but an update was just posted saying that this issue was solved.

"We are pleased to announce that the issue has been addressed."

Except no, it hasn't.

Issues with upgrading infrastructure and servers aside, don't make a big official post patting yourselves on the back, saying that things are working, when they haven't been. That's what irks me the most about all of this. Tell me you're still working on it, maybe even what the exact problem was. But don't say things are fixed when they aren't. It seriously reduces my faith in the technicians in charge of the servers.
