The server should have been up until 2. Did it come down already?
Downtime during this phase of an MMO launch is reasonable, expected and downright necessary when it provides ZoS with an opportunity to stop players finding ways of doing evil things that they shouldn't be doing. Making sure it can't happen in future is hardly grounds for moaning as someone who'd benefit from it (namely yourself and myself).This crap is getting very tiresome. Every time I go to play the servers are down for an outage. So much for early access

I do not debate that downtime is expected. However, if it was truly planed then a maintenance calendar would have shown this with sufficient prior notice. And an announcement at 12:22 and the servers going off line shortly there after does not count as planed or sufficient notice.
I dont care if they call this planned. Either A they knew about it but didn't tell us which is poor
communication or B this is unplanned and they are trying to make an excuse as they fix the crap they broke last downtime.
