It's part of the ToA you signed to even start playing the game... Seriously, is it really that hard to skim through those things? They have the right to deny service while providing maintenance. Also, they are adding A TON OF STUFF in this patch. Literally, a metric ton. It takes time to load it to the servers and test that it is working properly. If you want a sub-par game, go play one. Otherwise, get over it and keep paying to play this amazing game.
