    I remember blipverts (condensed commercials that were blowing people up).

    Here's wiki on it:

    Pre-ordered or pre-purchased? Pre-ordered you wouldn't actually have GR yet because you wouldn't have gotten your CD Key.

    And it's all their fault?

    Really?
    Odds are there will be many patches too so running without the updater is probably a very bad idea for a while.

    Resistance is futile. You will be exterminated.

    I'd just like him to come back or never be gone in the first place.

    They had mentioned last week or so that this time it would be unlimited during the 7 days but that 7 days' window was starting tomorrow.

    It grieves me to excise the Resistance, but it must be done. With force.
    I pity them too.

    As B.A. often said on The A-Team. "I pity the fools!"

    Of course! That's it! Clooney and Jolie look the parts from the knees down.

    I think you meant to write "And now we put an end to this so called 'resistance'."

    I was already great. Just like our wonderful Emperor and his Praetors.

    They completely fooled me. I almost never check the forums on the weekends so I didn't know about the maintenance this morning.

    Oh, if only I had tomorrow off from work.

    Don't kick yourself unless you didn't pre-purchase and cannot go to it in live right now.

    * looks forlornly at clock and 2 hours until I get home *

    Well, I waited this long. Two more hours is survivable.

    Pre-thanks to devs, GMs, Mods, etc. for all the work to launch this ship.

    Sounds just like real life's markets.

    But honestly player psychology has been a major reason why the Black Market has behaved oddly for years compared to Wentworths.

    People reporting they can make Praetorians.

    Post your merged market glee/hate here.

    I've had it up to here with doomsaying about a future of missing items. That same fear is why the market's been up a creek all last week. Everyone's bids will be waiting for them when the servers launch back up.
    Better safe than sorry? While I have no doubt they would restore lost inf and items, that might take time and I hate waiting.

    That pretty well covers my thoughts on it.

    I am lacking one portion of the tradition. I left my laptop at home so I am not sitting here constantly checking for the ability to login.

    Or they could launch I18 after this maintenance with GR not enabled until midnight. The market merger is an I18 feature so they would be in the clear for that.

    I hope people can get on soon and let us know what is happening.

    I wonder if I18 and the merged market is why the servers are down now with GR coming at midnight.

    Might as well ask a praying mantis to be a teddy bear.
    Hey, hey, hey! Watch it, bub! Angie puts stars in my eyes.

    I'd prefer in the future you write it as "ask a tiger to be a teddy bear" as a nod to her role in Kung Fu Panda.
