Can't Access RLC - expired?

[METRO717]

Suddenly when I log on I no longer see RLC forums, and my profile is just a regular HWC membership. When I first opened the HWC tab on my browser, I was still in RLC and I saw a post about expiring memberships. Unfortunately when I clicked on it, it said I don't have permission to view the page, and now I can't even see the post. Now I'm worried that I won't be able to get the RLC renewal on Tuesday 2/25 if I'm not able to log on as an RLC member.

Nobody can access the RLC right now. It is closed until after you renew on the 25th.

OK, many thanks for the info. While I thought that might be the case, I couldn't find anything in news, announcements, etc. Thank you!

I can. Is my account broken?

Many of us can.

I was in the RLC forums earlier today, even after my RLC #, Rewards Points, etc. disappeared; but sometime this afternoon, my access to the RLC forums also disappeared, as expected.

There is a known loophole where you can still access if you haven't logged out. That should end sometime today. Then you will need to purchase the 2020 RLC Memberships in order to regain access.
