I think what he is getting at is that PDT says 2 hours maintenance which in UTC magically becomes 3

GMT wise it's usually about 11am when they patch

They already messed up the UTC time in the last account meowntenance announcement. Don't worry, we Europeans know it's 12:00 to 14:00 PM in the afternoon German time, that's the meowst impurrtant thing we need to know.

About the patch ... there has been a patch announcement WITHOUT patch notes already last week, so why again this week? I understand the team is busy getting Season 4 ready and shifting large patches on tribble every 3rd or 4th day which is absolutely great! Butt still ... no real bug fixing patch at all for over 2 weeks now (last being on June 15th), that's a bit of a shame for those who don't use Tribble at all, but as I said, I do understand what bunch of work the team has on it's hands right now with Season 4 on Tribble, since I do play Tribble and I can estimate how much it takes to get this job done in time, even though I can foresee a week delay on holodeck, so the release of Season 4 will most likely be around July 14th then, I think.

I hope this patch will at least include the promised Horta variants for the C-store, like two weeks ago the Aenar and Kitten Officers and one week ago the Q activation (deactivation didn't need a meowntenance, Kudos for that).

In case you didn't know (your post looks like you don't is why)

GMT = UTC

and it's 10.00 GMT/UTC but 11.00 UK time due to summertime

Well here it'll be 12:00 till 14:00

Down at 1100 GMT, but according to post, not down for another 12 hours. I think someone Cryptics end needs to learn to tell the time.

I do know that GMT is UTC,but I also know that being in the UK despite the fact they say 1000 every time they have it's always up at 1000 and down at 1100

Does anyone know if they are going to run any 4th of July specials in the C-store or for buying lifetime subs?

The service is now back up. Thanks for your patience!
