Current time as of this posting is 1:51pm UTC/GMT. 51 minutes late.

err.. PDT? is it still daylight saving time on the pacific coast? in november???

if it were PST they would be still in time.... but cryptic needs some lessons in timezone mathematics....

The time they posted in UTC means its 58 minutes late, but the time they posted in PDT means there's still 2 minutes to go.

Hehe I think they just made a slight error in calculating the times. Partly becauase if they did go by the UTC they would have started an hour late as well, and they were right on time believe me.

5 minutes past the posted time, and there's still no patch accessible. Safe to assume something went horribly wrong.

to those people who are complaining that it is over 50 minutes late, you are WRONG.

I live in the UK, and the server went down at what was for me 11.00am UK time, and as its now 14.07PM, that means its only 7 minutes late in coming back.

From what I've seen since coming back about a month ago, the patch times always run at least an hour over scheduled. Someone needs to explain the rules of Engineering to Cryptic, namely: Always say it will take longer than you think it will, that way when you get done early everyone thinks you are a miracle worker.

Works better than saying it will take less time than it will and running past your self-imposed deadline.

i'm in ireland, and atm it's 9 mins late. im not going to sweat nine mins or panic.

i just really want to get back to playing... thats a good sign.

Give it a little extra time...They're finishing now. I was just able to validate my e-mail, so that's proof.

UPDATE:
Due to an unexpected delay, maintenance will be extended for another 40 minutes.
