I just installed this game and was able to create a character when the server crashed early this morning. It's been down ever since, so it is giving me a very bad first impression.
My question is, how often does this happen? Are the servers up and everything has green lights most of the time...and I just picked a bad time to try the game out? Or is this a fairly common issue?

Very rare, IMO. This is the longest its ever been down since launch and my be ever since launch. I don't remember it being down this long on launch day which is always a crash fest for any MMO.
Big crashes like this seldom happen. I think the last one was around 5 months ago, before the weekly series. I think one of the servers blew up in Boston at the time.
The more common event is announced downtime in the morning(EST usually over by 8am) where they do backend work or patch appliance. Events like today have been very very rare to nonexistent since the days of the open beta
actually the servers are mainly stable, u missed most of the down time @ launch, now days it is perfectly stable this is in fact the first non scheduled downtime i have seen in quite a few months, probably something to do with one of the newly implemented updates.
It rarely happens and you've just had bad timing, honestly the server rarely has issues and when it does it is always fixed as quickly as possible. The Devs always make an effort to inform the players of the issue and let the players know as soon as the issue has been resolved. Keep an eye on the Dev tracker for future info.
Having unanimous agreement that this is a rare case is encouraging. I appreciate everyone's feedback. I'll just be patient and give it a fair try once the servers are back up.

Just coming up to my 200 day award and this is the first time its crashed on me.
300+ days (more than 88 days total in-game)... This is the longest it has been down.. Ever... Not even during beta or Headstart has it been down for this long...
