You know... a system message telling up youre gonna shut down the server for maintenence rather than just switching it off. Not everyone reads the forums for patch downtime notices, and I for one have been in the game so long, the last time I loaded the launcher, it didnt say anything about taking the server down

Ah my bad. I saw something about a patch earlier but the thread was gone by the time I looked for it. Id assuimed that if they were gonna bring it down, that theyd do like other games and tell us lol nvm then
They sure are. Servers are now down for an hour and a half but the patch will be ready at the end of it so no more server down time again tonight...
Unless it crashes again
BTW they were never scheduled to go down at 10pm, they were scheduled for 5 hours later but hey...lemonade right?
That was a pretty nice cover up to be honest, good job cryptic. It is equivalent to "Oh... I meant to do that"
That would be nice indeed to get the patch in since the servers are down anyway.
How could we be sure of that?
I have noticed them doing that lately.

I do hope that is the case during this downtime. Thoughtful really on Cryptics part.
