Problems with Global?

Earlier today, my global chat options were offline: no global friends, no global channels. I assumed the global server was off and went about my day. A few minutes ago, my global friends list reappeared...except it's now empty. My global channels have vanished entirely, and my global chat handle (per Menu->Chat Handle) is similar to my previous chat handle, but has garbage text in it: it was @[globalname] and is now @a[globalname]"

Has anyone seen a problem like this before? Should I just bite the bullet and petition customer service?

Thanks in advance!

To follow up: I petitioned support. They were able to restore my global friends list and chat channels; apparently, this issue affected more than one person. Anyone else experiencing the same problems should probably /petition in-game as well.

And customer service was prompt, professional, and personable.

I had those garbage names come up in my global list a couple of weeks back, but my existing global friends were all there too still. Soon as the person whose name was duplicated came back online they disappeared.
