I also saw this. I wonder why it was removed.

I also saw this. I wonder why it was removed.

Perhaps they weren't suppose to release it yet, or to lump it in with another one down the pipe. Perhaps not if it's on the launcher still aha

Something else probably crashed, and will take another day to fix.

It isn't removed, I just loaded the patcher and there it is.

Edit: Haha, apparently it was temporarily taken down to remove the [Follow-up] tag. Oh, the things SE finds to care about enough to fix instantly.

I'd love to know what they have planned this time.. maybe more HD defragmentation? upgrading ram from 128 megs to 256?
one and half hours maint isn't going to do anything.

I would prefer they keep trying than have the servers stay as they are.

hour and a half could serve enough time to replace several non-driver using pieces of hardware.. There is more than enough time. Perhaps half the servers went down and they are limiting access due to half/working datacenters atm. You really never know.. Sounds like a team will be replacing a certain piece of hardware, or perhaps implementing the que software again.. There are a number of short term fixes that can be accomplished in an hour and a half.... lol
