Hey folks,
Quick update on the chat issue. We believe we have isolated the problem and we are actively working on a fix. We are going to be testing this fix throughout the night and our current plan (assuming it looks good in testing) is to apply it tomorrow. As it stands now, this fix shouldn't require any downtime.
For the issue itself, it does appear that volume in chat is related and that as more people are in chat, the issue can get worse. EU has already gone through their "prime time" but for all of you NA folks, you can expect higher visibility of these issues as you move through your servers peak times.
Again, I will get updates to you as I have them and currently a fix is planned for tomorrow which will not require any downtime.

Hey folks,
Quick update: We have deployed the chat fix to all of our servers, the disconnecting issues which were happening yesterday should now be resolved. If you are still seeing these issues, please let us know. It is important that if you are seeing this issue that you specify what you are seeing and what server you are on.
Thank you all for your patience while we worked to address the issue.

This was addressed in the Bug Report forums earlier today. We are making a change to the spam filter in 2.8 that should alleviate the issue.
