They've never had to do a shutdown for a sale before... The only time I've seen them do shut downs like this is to fix serious glitches.. But I guess anything is possible.
EUPS going down, too. Either it's event, GU43, changing the Cyber Monday deals or a problem - but for sure it's again unannounced.
Yes I demand compensation, 500 replay badges and a free month of legendary for this 30 minute inconvenience.
Make that some hours if it's really GU43. Oh, and some fresh and shiny new bugs as well, with a lil luck even 1 or 2 of them game breaking
Maybe it's to fix ALL the glitches that have persisted since launch before the new GU? It's the holidays one has to remain optimistic lol
Look at the announcement section where they are announce the sale starts on all servers at 12 am PST. That is where I came up with the theory.
