CONNECTION ERROR - (Merged Threads )

Hello all, like EVERYONE else I couldn't log in earlier, then 10 mins ago I got to log in and collect my rewards outstanding, but then I try to log in 5 mins after that and again it tells me my internet connection is broken when I'm fully aware that it is NOT! Here's a radical idea for @EA & @CG ..why not change the wording of the claim that our internet isn't working to "sorry folks, we are working on improvements to the game that will benefit the whole community" ? Or something like that, now I get a notification to say I got energy to collect, should I even bother trying.
