Any bets on if the servers come up on time?

For those unaware, the maintenance has been extended by one hour.

As someone in the EST timezone, I am a tad upset that they waited this long to update us on this but oh well, shoutouts to SE.

I don't think anyone wasn't expecting this, I just find it funny how they made it sound like the MAXIMUM absolute MAXIMUM time it would be required to be down for was 24 hours.

I have the entire day, so I can wait another hour (or however long it ends up being in the end), but SE should let people know about extensions a little earlier than the moment the game is supposed to be up =P
