Managing expectations 101:

The parcel is due to arrive today. The delivery company expects an estimated window of between 9am & 5pm. They hope the parcel will arrive at 9am, but realise it may not arrive until 5pm.

Scenario #1 Instead of telling you 'between 9am and 5pm' they tell you 'after 9am'. The parcel arrives at noon, you are disappointed that it's late.
Scenario #2 Instead of telling you 'between 9am and 5pm' they tell you 'before 5pm'. The parcel arrives at noon, you are pleased that it's early.

The parcel arrived at the same time either way.

The truth!
 
Just had a system message saying the servers will be down in 15 minutes for "emergency maintenance". That's 10.15am GMT. Could be it perhaps? Gave me enough time to find a space dock.

You don't need to be at the spacedock. Anyway, beta servers are separated, that's just the usual thursday reboot.

It is what they said: Emergency Maintenance after the Powerplay trigger had issues.
 
Gosh darn it FD, I've got some downtime between assignments. Don't you dare make me play another game or, even worse, make me do something productive! Just don't you dare! :)
 
"Due to the new monitoring mechanics, if you have ever combat logged then you will initially be locked out of Beta. This will be reset over the next few days, as this new system goes live"
 
Isn't the usual procedure:
1: beta patch notes around 11am gmt
2: patch ready for download approx 6pm gmt

It seems to usually work out like that if memory serves.

Don't think so - usually beta forums, then announcement twitter, then here. During day - full releases are at 6pm as servers down all day - beta tends to be just 'it's on' sometime during day.

So today it will be 6 - they watch these forums and like to punish me :D

I always figured they like to watch people tearing their hair out in the threads. And maybe sit in a chair Dr Evil style.

Ahh good to know, thanks Factabulous. Obviously my memory is faulty lol.
But I promise I won't chuckle if it is a 6pm landing :)
