Estimated time before we can patch? Will it be sooner then launch?

The servers never come online early for major patches for obvious reasons

They come up early more often than not. There's only 2 rules they follow:

1. servers never come up just before a weekly reset
2. if housing is being added they don't come up early at all so people aren't pressured into staring at the logon screen for hours

That's not entirely true. I've seen maintenance end early, an hour before weekly reset. That they won't come online before a reset is a common misconception. Tonight however is highly unlikely because of housing additions, also SE posted on twitter saying it won't.

Maybe @ 2.0 or 2.1. They were lax on that around then and people complained. It's been set in stone to not come up before weekly reset a real long time now.
