    And a fix for anyone still having issues

    TL : DR
    The Problem:
    Network Solutions was sending SOE's domain expiration notices to an unread account, thus, the domain names were reclaimed. SOE has since corrected the issue. (in other news, NS = Nanite Systems... NS has grown too powerful, we need more ES gear! :p )

    To compensate players, this is what SOE is doing.

    The fix:
    To refresh your DNS info, go to the Start menu, choose “Run…”. Type ipconfig /flushdns. Now relaunch your web browser and/or game launchpads.

    Yes it's funny how they are trying to monetize everything but can't even keep the simplest things in order.

    So we can finally delete those entries in the Hosts file?

    Yep, now that their DNS is up and running, deleting the entries in the hosts file would be a good idea.
