So I also noticed the servers were down and when I went to check the website I saw this post:

Weekly Server Maintenance on Nov 27th
We will be performing our weekly server maintenance from Nov 27th 7:00pm to Nov 28th 6:00am EST (GMT- 5) as a result the server will be shut down for approximately two hours.

The rewards for Credits Auction and Credit Mall will be charged to the winners' accounts. Make sure you have enough available slots in your backpack before the maintenance begins.

I am not sure why the range was so long this time. Maybe this has something to do with what happened, but according to this the maintenance should be long over. :/

Here's hoping they get things back up soon.
