That's right, the login server is undergoing maintenance, as I'm sure most of you have found by now. Here are the details on when to expect them back.

UPDATE: We have rescheduled the Tuesday downtime to Thursday, April 17, barring any unforeseeable circumstances. The game server authentication system and myaccount.turbine.com will be undergoing maintenance on Thursday, April 17 from 2:00AM - 6:00PM Eastern (-5 GMT). During this time some players may be unable to log into the game, register new keys, or make changes to their Turbine accounts on myaccount.turbine.com. If you wish to access the game during this maintenance window please be sure to log in at least once this week. Thanks for your cooperation during the maintenance!

While you're waiting check out the upcoming expansion, Mines of Moria home page, which hasn't crashed in a while now!
