Edit:A powerful solar eruption that has already disturbed radio communications in China could disrupt electrical power grids and satellites used on Earth in the next days, NASA said.
The massive sunspot, which astronomers say is the size of Jupiter, is the strongest solar flare in four years, NASA said.
The Class X flash - the largest such category - erupted on Tuesday, according to the US space agency.
"X-class flares are the most powerful of all solar events that can trigger radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms," disturbing telecommunications and electric grids, NASA said
p.s the date of that was like 3 days ago making today a few days later ^^

FOX News: Popular MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game), Final Fantasy XI crashes today, experts say it is President Obama's doing. Our very own Glenn Beck added that it could also be the Nazis doing, stating "The Nazis were known to experiment with time travel." Beck added "..it was a little known fact that their targeted date to travel to was February 20th, 2011."
Fox figured it out.

Hoping someone will post when everyone makes it back in the game!
There is no maintenance as such today. POL just went nuts and it's under investigation - i.e. they don't know wtf is going on or what's causing it, much less when it will be fixed.
well i just started pup im level 11 now, still trying to figure out how the job is played well, i bought every attachment i can. can anyone tell me whats best to use early for fastest kills solo magic melle or shield bash one?

in the post i posted it states that the japs telecomunications and ***have been going down since the solar flare that happened on the 17th,they said the after shock from that solar flare would get worse days after it happened,so maybe its *** with their systems

It's kindof weird though, cause if it really did then people who are still logged in should have been logged out if it causes "blackouts" they should be cut off like us.

No actually it says:
Quote:
The China Meteorological Administration reported that the solar flare had jammed shortwave radio communications in southern China.
I don't see Japan mentioned in that article at all. I really don't think that is the cause of POL breaking down.
