Having the same problem.

[Ataraxia]

Yup, same here.

[Haemogoblin]

Same here, kicked out of the game with that message and now I get it every time I hit play.

Edit: I created a new character and can play just fine with that one. The first still gives me the service not available error.

[Feuade]

Seems the network crashed

[Haemogoblin]

You can create a new character and use that, seems to be character specific

[Yamantalai]

I am having the same issue. Service not avalable.

[Ryuken]

Getting the same message. Can't get past the tutorial area; twice now I get to the end of the turtorial, the cutscene plays and Cass drives off then it boots me from the gameworld and gives me that message. Another person in the beta playing on the same network right next to me is playing fine. Pretty annoying, but that's beta for ya.

Also, this is with a new character.

[Uzi]

Same here, the patcher says update instead of play, but when i click it it goes right to "play" after not getting any files and then i cant log in.

After running through the tutorial my new character got disconnected and now has a server select screen, with a blank list and no exit button.

Edit: Disconnected and logged back on as 2nd character, tutorial is now stuck on a loading screen. Let's hope the server restart in a couple of minutes fixes this stuff. Looks like it's Mount Tam that's causing the issues
