Hang in there! There were apparently some unexpected issues while implementing all of the new features and updates, and the servers will be offline for a while longer. You can get updates in the following locations:

• EQ2 Forums: Downtime Extended (forums are flaking out at times during the maintenance; be patient!)
• ZAM’s GU62 downtime updates page
• EverQuest II’s Facebook page
• EverQuest II’s Twitter stream

In the meantime, check out the latest Producer’s Letter for some tasty tidbits while you wait!

 Update: Smokejumper posted on Twitter that the game should be online at 10:00am Pacific, and SOE’s CTO posted this on the EQ2Wire site.

Update #2: The servers are up as of about 10:15am Pacific! Have fun!! :D
