Like in the title - since Friday, still not working (hangar chat and Contacts list, battle chat is fine):

Unlucky, during a 'special' event like this.

Strange - 'normal' comms here, apart. Well, NFB (Normal for Bridgwater (not renowned for being the hub of the intellectual universe), as doctors in Bristol used to put on medical charts - allegedly
)

To my utmost astonishment it turned out it's a 'local' issue, not a global server one. Some people were affected, some were not. I do not understand how is that possible, this should not be the case. Noone found a fix for it during weekend, and it sorted itself out on Monday morning (still suggesting it was a server issue, though limited to particular clients for reasons unknown).

That's the kind of thing that happens when there's an orphaned security token in place that doesn't match the parameters of your current session. There are other possibilities, but in that case you wouldn't be authenticated with the chat server and therefore you would be unable to use its services.

You mean we, the ones unable to speak, have been jinxed by some malignant spell? What kind of witchcraft is that? It shouldn't be possible!

It only happens when you forget that you do the pirouette to the RIGHT in the pre-game server-conciliation dance. Obvious, really.
