14 Hour Downtime?

[nanuk]

Just caught word that on Monday there will be a 14 hour downtime to mess with the authentication server in EQ2. Any thoughts on what they could be doing? My first thought is holy crap but that's just me.

Its Tuesday (starts at 11:30 PM PDT on Monday night) and depending on which site you read (EQ, EQ2, LON, etc) it could be as 'short' as 14 hours or as long as 24 (or hey its SOE, could be down for the week)

Supposedly they are updating their login systems so all games/forums/sites (including account management) will be down for the duration since all of them are cross-linked by the StationIDs.

Aah...well no worries then lol. Lord knows all their stuff needs to be updated. I suspect most of that time will be copy pasting all the login stuff.
