EVERY time its "we'll be back up by noon"...

and EVERY time it gets delayed until at least 4pm.

Why not just say you'll be back up by 4pm game time, and hey, if you're early... GREAT! I've NEVER seen a point release come back up by the original estimate.

Just a thought. :-)

Because you should know by now that NOON on major upgrade day means, at a min. 3pm.

Gezz Flip...

I think it works on 'Linden Time'

way way way back during my military service I was sent for 12 months to this backwater lil village (it was too small to be a 'town') called Bamaga - it's about an hour south of the very tip of Cape York in Queensland. The only way to access this place by land is to cross the Jardine River on a ferry... The ferry times were well posted as 9:00am - 12:00 - and 5:00pm. Unfortunately they ran on 'Bamaga Time' - finding the hours typically went like this:

"What time is the ferry going today?"
"12"
"Ahhhh... what time at 12?"
"Oh... about 2 ish"

That was Bamaga Time.

Siggy.

Siggy, that sounds awfully similar to "an Egyptian 10 minutes", which meant anywhere from 40 minutes to 3 hours.
