Guild Wars 2

Played guild wars last night and some this morning, but after work, about 2 hours ago, patcher wont get past splash screen, just says connection error, retrying. Is patch server down for most people? not sure whats going on, my internet is fine and i see some similar issues but i see nothing official on it in the forum, anyone clue me in on a fix or is is just wait it out? Thanks

is there a patch being implemented is that why patcher doesnt work? no one has a clue?
