I've been reading through the various rants and such since the game is unavailable currently and I remembered something funny that has happened to me the last 2 times I have been billed by SE. I was DC'ed from the game. Went through the re-boot and it gave me the screen to let me know that my account had been charged. Now I understand that the uptime on this game has been pretty sketchy for the last few months so it may have been a coincidence, but both times it happened I was able to log back in without a dreaded POL error.
Off to play WoW for an hour or three
