Guys this is just Registration Server Maintenance... if u have all yer mules and main in place this will not affect your playing experience one bit. This is just, essentially, their version of defragging your computer. They have to do this every so often so that it keeps running at capacity and it doesn't "freeze" when ppl try to register.

Remember, when u defrag a comp the difficulty of the defrag is based on how much u have installed or deleted since the last time u did it. Registration Server maintenance would have to be done every so many signups/character creations I am guessing. And what with that bringing back the deleted characters thing, Registrations would be up so they would naturally have to do the maintenance more often.

Once again, unless u have a major itch to create a character at that specific time, this will not affect your playing experience in any way.

This maintenance is just for the billing cycle, that's all.

haha I would laugh my *** off if this was an April Fool's joke

and I know you all complain about maintenance, but I would rather play God Of War (plug, gimme my money) for a few hours then say lose my Emp. Pin because of some glitch, or get something lost in delivery, etc... this is a huge game and it's gonna require constant upkeeping, I think SE has done a fine job with trying to handle their problems.
