Wtf y'all. Also there was no message sphere in the sanctuary zone.... Just alchemy machine. Hanging out in there hoping GMs can fix it.
Follow Up:
Left after a while. Noticed a few other weird things while I was in that Sanctuary zone.
1. Could not "Go Solo." to leave, when I tried it gave me a server error message.
2. Some people in group with me complained that their "Social" tab was blank. Mine seemed to be fine.
3. GM appeared in party, more than once, but never showed up in person. Maybe the instance got hosed and they couldn't get in?
I was down there w/

Hopefully it gets worked out soon, every other (minor) issue (ppl getting removed from parties and having to get GM-ed back in) we've had with new content has been handled very quickly and GMs have been very helpful.
Were you in the gate that just cycled out when it happened?
