Servers going down in 30 mins?

Are they bringing the servers down again? I still can't log in anyway, but I'm just checking.

Looks like it. 2 Maint. per day? I guess there's 2 more tomorrow.

Yes they are, they also just put this gem up, i dont get what to make of the times...

There isn't. I haven't been able to play ever since I got back from work, 6 hours ago.

Can't wait for tomorrow's errors and login problems!

PDT. It's currently the 25th of August, and the time is 08:46PM PDT. Maintenance in 14mins. Will last for an hour and a half (or shorter. They seem to end these before the actual end time... Despite those doing absolutely nothing for the log ins.)

That is funny. Thing is I can't blame them at all really. Heck as much as I would like to take the high ground here, had I been able to log in and play at all today it would be been extremely tempting to alt+tab, and leave myself in. I wouldn't judge those people too harshly... the lions share of fault lies squarely (hehe) with SE.

I'm as upset about not being to log in as the next guy, but you know what? So long as this is all fixed and ready to go by the 27th, I'm totally fine. I'd like to get higher than level 15, sure, but that's 15 levels I wasn't even expecting to get this week. SE kinda dropped the ball with EA, but I got my kicks out of it.

I actually hope they stick it out all the way with this maint instead of believing its fixed and ending it early.
