Thanks for the heads up, all. We've looked into this issue with the hosting company, but unfortunately it seems to be related to particular geographic regions. Being that there are numerous routes the internet takes to get to the Armory Life server from different locales, issues can pop up in certain areas that are unfortunately out of our control. The best remedy is to give it some time, and things generally resolve on their own.
Thanks for being part of the forum and thanks for your patience with these issues.
