*Blinks, goes and takes a look.* Apparently, the Account server's down. You can't log in via the game launcher, or directly via the game client.

This was a big advertising opportunity. A free trial of the game, during a big event. Given that, as near as I can tell, there's no standard 14 day trial

CoH included. And instead... well, my opinion on the game aside, when the servers apparently break and no one can try the game out, people that might have been
convinced to give Cryptic money roll their eyes, and go back to Azeroth and Paragon.
*Goes and takes a look at the CO forums.* And from what I'm seeing... this is a weekly occurrence. Holy crap *facepalms*
