There will be a brief server downtime (about half an hour) while we deploy a new build. You can find build notes for the new build here and here. Some local times: US (PST): Wed 18 Feb, 4pm US (EST): Wed 18 Feb, 7pm Australia (AEST): Thu 19 Feb, 11am
it's not letting me play... it's saying it's down for maintenance and to try again in a few minutes it's been saying that for 45 minutes
I think you're the only one experiencing this issue. Probably something to do with a not-up-to-date cached version of the webpage which is being checked to test whether or not the server is down for maintenance.
Here's a thread (with links to more threads) about general connection issues. Might be worth the look.
Gah... wish it wasn't at GMT 0:00 ... I use that time to reset my adventures and redo the loot fairy! :-P Just a note for next time maybe. =)
