The whole community visiting thing is a massive drain on their systems and is aggravated in a chapter-based event because a whole timezone of people hit the servers pretty close together. The HA might have failed or they hit a spend cap and throttled. Oh well. Let?s hope the neighbor visit thing isn?t a similar disaster.
