SOE help is implying that is a temporary thing, but I have that since yesterday and friends of mine can play properly. So apparently the patch f*cked something up. Repairing/Verifying game files didn't do anything. How do I fix this? Directly starting the game .exe does nothing either.
We had a small network interruption this morning which may have caused this. It should be fixed now so please submit in a support ticket if you still have issues.
