Don't you know that SE calls your boss to check your schedule before scheduling maintenances?

It's not like there wasn't advanced warning. These updates have to happen sometime.

[Ayrlie]

it doesn't matter for me right now, i'm banned from playing video games until further notice (read post on remora forums) so it doesn't matter if the game is down for maintenance or not.

Well, you never know. They haven't been too bad with all that lately. Some minor delays, but nothing ridiculous.

[PTT]

Hey, Arrapago Mirror guarding enemy locations are being adjusted. I bet that's going to make a lot of Corsairs happy (AF)

I'm glad I waited to level up Corsair ^^
