Chances are you might have noticed this, but the US servers for LotRO are down com­pletely. Typ­i­cally Tur­bine responds to this almost instan­ta­neously (if not ahead of time), but it looks like this caught them by surprise.

I assume this is true for e very­one, but my launcher never gets past the ini­tial Mines of Moria load­ing screen. It sim­ply can’t find the data centers.
