Same started here this afternoon/evening, January 29th. I was on fine just a couple hours earlier, now no go...hope it is in reference to the work that is supposedly being done as we speak.
Now that Maintenance is over, tried to open the launcher and get the same message. First time I ever seen this error myself.
Same here. Never seen it before this morning, now I get it almost every time I open the launcher. The rare time I don't, I get a white "Loading. Please Wait." screen for a minute or two, then Internet Explorer (WTF, I don't use IE for anything) pops up with an error message.

To quote the email I got from the engineers, we're having "a major network event" in Boston. Current symptoms are that the launcher does not load, at all. I'm experiencing this as well. At a guess, anyone currently logged in is going to be able to stay online, but if you log out you won't be able to get back in.
Since this was going on when we were scheduled to start maintenance, we're postponing maintenance to later in the day, after this is resolved. We've got a number of engineers working on this right now, and I'll update whenever I get more information.
(Also: I'm not sure whether this is the same issue as the launcher issues earlier. It behaves similarly, but I can't be sure it's the same.)
Same here... seems like it's a slow connection that does this, but I'm not sure. Usual fix for me is to download the latest launcher... but I'd rather fix it permanently! Right now though, anyone who's kind enough to pop up the latest PWE launcher as well can be seen as a hero this time round!
i'm still having the exact same problem. So do I need to just download a launch update or something? and if so, could anyone possibly provide a link? Any help would be greatly appreciated since I haven't played in quite awhile and I really miss it! :P
