is the patch available to download?

Downloading as we type.

Can you actually play the game after dl'ing the patch? Or do they hold until the previously announced maintenance time expires completely?

Some people are just being impatient, there are thousands of people hitting the server trying to download the information. Try at an off hour, as we still can't play until tomorrow.

Mine downloaded too.

reinstalling the game worked for me

i downloaded the patch but my game keeps saying that they are still doing maintenance, when the hell are they going to be done?

Downloading now and working fine

If you're getting the unable to complete version check error, just restart the launcher. It worked for me.
