I was watching the server status page, and most of the servers had switched to "Unknown" shortly before the scheduled end, and then they all switched back to "Down."
Also, Avatea posted a message in the French forums saying (assuming Google Translate is accurate) it's going to take an extra hour. Servers should be up around 10:00 PDT.
Freitag updated the post he made yesterday about the publish with the following information:

Update @ 09:09am PDT : Due to some technical difficulties, the Live Server Publish is taking longer than anticipated. We are working to bring up the servers as quickly as possible, and will keep you apprised of the situation. Thank you for your patience. |
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

That's it, they're no longer allowed to patch the game until they figure out how to do it in a timely fashion. To speed up this learning process, I recommend sacrificing employees' hats (with FIRE) for every five minutes extra it takes.
