Hey @AndyB @Funcom Any chance you can fix this small issue on the patcher? - server isn’t offline.
Same for me since a few hours. Maybe a new tactic to avoid players to login 
That was talked about over on the private AoC Facebook page.
Seems you can still hit START after the load bar finishes it’s thing and get to the character screen and into the game.
So it looks like it’s just another False Positive like the ‘Failed to Authenticate’ bug.
I can confrim it’s just a bug as I logged in and played this afternoon, so just ignore the Offline.
You could try a petition but Andy hasn’t responded in over a year nor reads this forum.
