To confirm - i can't connect, so I am experiencing it as well. We are looking into it right now, and I will post back details. If you are ingame, you can keep playing, and once back online your progress should be saved once reconnect is made. If you are not, you will just have to sadly wait or play in offline mode.
Sorry folks, working on this as fast as we can.
UPDATE 4am NZST.
We are working on the issue now. Whole system is down while we reboot, it's just safer that way. It was only affecting a few nodes, so some local reboots got many people at least one save. But some none - so we have to fix it. Sorry folks will keep you updated.
UPDATE 4:40am NZST
The outage is "resolved" for now.
I put inverted quotes because we have a strategy that treats the symptoms (and gets us back online), but it doesn't solve the root cause - which we don't know yet.
So at the very least, we can continue to fix this if it crops up again....
