Sunday, October 7. Rolling restarts began at 10:00 AM Pacific time. I logged out with a minute to spare. I went to use the bathroom. When I came back and tried to log back in, I got stuck at the "Connecting" stage :(
Is this just me?

I'm stuck at connecting as well. Login server broke because friends in vent are online.

Stuck at 'Connecting' here.
I wonder if it has anything to do with this:
Tichondrius Instant Death

Yeah, I'm having the same issue. Left, did dishes, paid bills, picked up a bit, and made lunch.. still no game. Guess I'll keep checking back. :) Maybe they are working on some of the glitches in the dungeons. :)

Same issue here, including the lunch break :) Apparently it's a system-wide problem. There's a post in the official forums here, mostly full of whiners:

One poster said their character selection screen came up after about 25 minutes of "Connecting..." so maybe the servers are just overwhelmed. Would be nice to have a blue post with an explanation but what can you do? Maybe this is a sign I should get some work done around the house!

Supposedly the servers have been hacked. The hacker is able to walk around insta-killing everyone,including friendly NPCs.

Working as intended! :p
It appears that no one can get in. I'm in contact with guildies off WoW and they can't get past connecting either.

2:47pm Eastern Time I finally got to my character selection screen and logged in. I'm in Jade Forest and it's pretty darn empty of other players at the moment. Realm: Turalyon.

Either a hacker discovered a new toy, a GM got his account compromised, or a GM about to be let go decided to have some fun across several realms.

^that's what he did to Tichondrius. It was not contained to that realm alone - Proudmoore, Fizzcrank, Staghelm, Nathrezim were also effected somehow (whether it's mass death like in Tichondrius or other things, I don't know). I also don't know how many people were doing it, if it's just one guy or lots. But it was obviously a problem.
Auth servers are down while they address it - my guess is they've found the account and are searching for any other dummy accounts this person's set up after this one was inevitably busted.

Actually, it wasn't a GM... some players apparently discovered something that allowed them to instakill Cata raid bosses. Their friend got banned for it, so they started ganking entire cities.
