Read more External link →PTS is locked right now and will be used for used for beta testing the Feb update. We plan to unlock once the Feb update is ready for full-scale public testing. More details to come in the next few days.
Did someone make an insignificant change that shouldn't have effected anything before the downtime, and it broke everything?
There was a live server issue that is causing this. As Wrel mentioned, Ops is troubleshooting and should have it fixed soon. No characters have been harmed, or lost, in this incident.
Ops department is looking into this issue right now. We'll let you know when we've got an update.
The "data migration" reference is probably TMI and will cause widespread panic, but for the sake of transparency, we wanted to provide a bit more detail than just "servers coming down for maintenance for up to 12 hours!".
That said, its literally a necessary database maintenance that just needed to happen. And given the time required, it there would be no ideal window that didn't impact someone's prime time.
This particular maintenance will not need to happen again for a long time.
