Global server connection issues

I don't think this has been posted before ( if it has, I missed it - sorry ), but I have periodic issues with connecing to the global FL server using the PR beta. I *have* connected to MP servers before without issues and have been playing on Elite for quite some time now, but every now and then I'll load up FL and it just says "Disconnected from global server, internet games unavailable".

Is the global server going down or something? I don't have a router or anything else that would be causing this problem. Right now, as of 3:40 PM EST the global server is down to me, anyone else having this problem?

Yeah, I'm having the same problem (I made a post about it a couple topics down). It's been like this for three, maybe four hours I believe.

So I think we can assume the global server is down right now for some reason.. Anyone else care to comment on this issue, though? Getting bored without FL already.

Whoops, guess I missed your post. Yeah, not being able to play on Elite is torture

Haven't had the problem with the multiplayer tab being greyed out that some people seem to be experiencing, only this issue with the server.
