Well, since it says maint 12am PDT May 15 through 12am PDT May 17th, I'd say yes, the servers will be down until the 17th.

We've known this for at least a month now.

They are supposed to be back up at 12AM PDT, so more like the evening of the 16th depending on your timezone.

The hostnames for the lobby servers are well-known and have been posted in these forums before so it's not a secret. I knew they'd have to update the records for them during maintenance at some point to point to the new servers, so I just checked periodically for them to change.

That explains why they didn't want to mention the location.
