Hi everyone,
More than likely due to the winter storm, Guild Wars 2 North American Servers up and down sporadically. I added Tofu's server status link to the left side of our homepage. I believe we are on US Server 1 on the list. The European GW2 servers are working fine. The server page does not update automatically so you will have to click the refresh button on your browser. Our TS3 is up and running if you wish to come on. Also, the shoutbox can be used to communicate with other guildies if you are signed into the site. I never thought I would have to do a weather advisory but please stay safe during this winter storm, avoid driving if you can, and if your work place allows you to telecommute I advise doing so.
UPDATES:
This just in, some people believe this is a DDOS (denial of service attack) against various ISPs:

Shin also reminded us, that today is the political "We Fight Back Campaign" against governmental spying. It could be the DDoS hacker is just trying to take advantage of this campaign taking place on the same day.
I have no idea if this is what is affecting GW2 or the storm not sure. It is true that non US players are staying connected longer than USA players in game. I would recommend avoiding LA, as much as possible, since everyone will be loading in there when the servers come back online.
