The server downtime is over this is just to make everyone aware of the changes to the game.
From forums.station.sony.com-
All servers will be offline tomorrow, 02.28.12, beginning at 8:00 AM PT (5:00 PM CET) for a patch to the DCUO client. Downtime is anticipated to be less than 4 hours. Players may notice the following changes:
Check out our new On Duty UI!
In order to provide our players with a better experience when queuing for content, we have re-designed our On Duty UI to be more like the layout of our Mission Journal. Beyond just being familiar, players now have greater control and visibility when queuing.
The new On Duty UI provides players with better feedback! For example, if a player is queuing and does not meet the requirements for the specific content, the On Duty UI now displays messaging as to what criteria the player does not meet. In addition, players now see the status of group members, and will be notified if a member of the party does not meet requirements.
Character Background Selection!
Legendary players and players that have purchased at least one DLC pack will have the option to change their Character Selection Background on the Character Select Screen!
