As part of the ongoing project to enable support for multiple servers, I need to take the server down for a while to transfer accounts and characters to a new underlying structure, and will be doing so at the time indicated in the thread subject.
I don't expect it to take more than an hour, and I don't need to bring down the server entirely for the operation, but the game server and logins will be down. You should be able to continue using the forum in the meantime as long as you don't log out. :)
