Vision from Dreadful Crystal Ball... UPDATE 8PM AEST : The maintenance window has been extended. Hello everyone! We are still working on the various items in today�s maintenance and wanted to give you a quick update. We are going to extend today�s maintenance window to ensure we have everything just right before we open the servers. We know you are all eager to return to the game and apologize to you for the interruption. At this time, we do not have an estimate as to when the servers will come back up, but we�ll keep you updated in this thread and will get them up and running as soon as we can. We apologize for the unexpected extension of today�s maintenance period, and thank you for your understanding. We understand that many of you are home for the 2.0 release, and that this maintenance extension interrupts your expected play time - especially for our players in APAC. In the future, we�ll be looking at ways to improve the timing of our maintenance periods, and we will definitely work to ensure that our maintenance estimates are as accurate as possible. Thank you all for your patience today.

Thank you all for your patience today. Wait. So in this scenario, not only are they acknowledging it cuts into the APAC prime-time, but they're also saying they'll look into ways to make the maintenance windows less disruptive for a minority playerbase (which would probably result in cutting into North American prime-time). Bullsith, sir.
Where's my taunt?

Servers are up now. My download rate is always super slow, but it's actually dropping below 100KB/s too often
