Dark Grey or not, I don't think the game could afford to lose all it's Eu subscribers, if they did they would have to make major cutbacks.
So dark grey or not you still need to look after and treat the minority with a little decorum.

Well bally ho, the servers are down wotwot, well stone the crows I'll be surprised that those devious devs appear to have made a kerfuffle on the timing of the maintenance of the servers I say good man.
The timing is poppycock as you would say.
But it does give me time for tea.
Which is just bully.
There you happy now Sam?

I am English and I AM drinking Tea at this moment.
So somewhat of self perpetuating stereotype.

So Golden Girl are you implying that the UK is the fifthy first state of America.
If you are, i'd rather you didn't. 
The whole rest of the world is the 51st state =P

But even if one were to claim the UK was the 51st state I'd think that'd be better than being called Airstrip One for instance.

We call ourselves the Great White North for a reason ya know. Mostly because it scares the Yanks away with vision of being cold, wet and miserable; living in Igloos and riding dog-sleds everywhere you go.
You guys are just mad because you got stuck with the leftover land we didn't want.

Anyway, look at Alaska; obviously the US will take any land in North America they can get. However, by the time the US was getting around to collecting the last bits of continent to add to the country Canada had already gone and gotten themselves a flag, which by tradition meant the US had to accept that Canada was a country and try to buy it from the current owners. Who rudely enough declined to sell it, the cheeky bastards.
Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
Mexico had a flag of their own by I845. That didn't stop us from essentially carjacking them for half of their country.
Back to yesterday's downtime, that patch almost certainly didn't pass QA until the end of the day on Thursday, as they didn't even put it onto Test until Thursday night Eastern time. It was definitely after 7 PM my time when it went up there.

Threads like these should be a symbol to some people that, maybe, they should be doing some self examination if it's such a tragedy to have the serves go down for a few hours, prime time or no.
(And yes, I am EU side)
Just saying.
