Really? Offline again?

[badassmaster]

Does anybody know why the servers are down yet again? I don't mind the downtime, really, it's the lack of awareness that annoys me. It takes a couple of seconds to post a note on the forum with "X is happening, so servers will be down for Y amount of time". We don't know what's going on. People get annoyed because they make special plans in their busy lives to play this game and catch up with friends to find out they can't because they didn't know the servers were going to be down.
I took the morning off work to jump online as things have been pretty hectic recently. Well, that plan was a bust.
Really not cool, NGD. Not cool at all :-/
