[My avatara remained in Rybinsk!]

I have been a ghost for 2 and 1/2 days, trust me typing in the name of the region you are stuck logging out in, or a different region or your home region makes no diff.  You are online and so cant log in.  We will be released when what ever region you are in is restarted.  I suspect LL just doesnt want every one yelling for region restarts before they are ready i.e. have figured out all they busted with the monthly sledgehammer session.  Have patience or make an alt.  Just wish LL would do the updates on mondays instead of late in the week, ruining peoples weekends.

Typing in a different region log in name does nothing to unstick a stuck presence.  Your av is online, stuck in log out,  you cant log in when you are already online, what region you try for is totally meaningless.
