20 hours of maintenance?

What would cause it to be this damned long?

We are working on some upgrades and those are taking longer than anticipated. So we need the extra time to make sure everything updates properly and we have proper time to test before we open the servers again. We know this is frustrating, but thank you for your patience while we work on this.

@ZOS_Kevin you mentioned that paint is extended by 8 hours. Does this mean extended by a FURTHER 8 hours - i.e. 8 hours beyond the 5pm estimated completion time? I'm just wondering if it's worth sticking around tonight, or not.

The times reflected here are correct:

[EXTENDED] EU megaservers for maintenance – February 5, 5:00 UTC (12:00AM EST) - February 6, 1:00 UTC (February 5, 8:00PM EST)
