So I ran the launcher.  Update 59 hotfix began, hit a strange error (I didn't catch the error code).  Had me restart and run again with full system check.  I log in and get the follwing:

Authenticating...Failure.  Incompatible client version.  Please quit, restart, and retry with "Full System Check."  If problem persists, click on the Support button.

I do this and I still get kicked back to the Login prompt.

What did you do to the game Rare!  :-O

You tend to get that until the Auth servers are back up.

Ah.  I guess I havent timed it that poorly before :-)

Now I get the Failure:  (ERROR)  message.  Ah well, need to go to work, hopefully it'll get sorted by the time I get home tonight.

Rarebit: On Tuesday, March 25th at 4:00 AM Pacific Time the servers will go offline for a hotfix and should return to service within 3 hours of shut down.

Servers only went offline 45 minutes ago, so still have some time to go, even for just the weekly maintenece reboot they take 1 hour normally.

Take heed, he's right.

I can't even log in at lunchtime to see sparkly candy FX so I'll wait til tonight...

Update: Auth servers are back up, my launcher and client have been patched... game servers are still down.
