Dave Georgeson, Producer of Planetside, just released his June Producer's letter. In it he addresses the recent server issuses and what they are doing to solve it.
As you realize, there have been some server instabilities since launch that require us to manually take the servers down occasionally, and which cause occasional (but short) outages of service.
These are very close to resolved now. You may have noticed us running "Staging" server tests occasionally over the last couple of days. That's us testing the new and improved server code that trounces the server memory leak (it forced us to manually cycle the servers occasionally) and fixes the last big culprit bug that caused zones to go down occasionally (about one or two a day across all servers).
You can find the full letter here (http://planetside.station.sony.com/news_story.jsp?story=56366).
