18 hour patch now. This is taking just a little too long, isn't it?
Server troubles. They've been having them since Tespia, and there were still minor bugs when they got it to the point Tespia would actually function. Predict a 20 hour patch. Poor overcaffeinated slobs...
Another 30 minute delay
EDIT: yay, another
EDIT: The patch has been extended for 7 hours. The patch will now conclude at 6:00 pm PDT
