Isn't this their standard weekly maintenance time?

Their weekly maintenance is on thursdays... As far as I know.
It's usually on Thursdays. There was an announcement about 10 minutes before they went down.

I havent seen anything on forums and wasnt playing the game to notice that.
When will be online again, they gave an accurate hour?
It's up now. 
Not sure it counts as an announcement, but Zwill DID mention that there'd be maintenance today, in the thread about the Nemesis invasion: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...21#post4218021
Thanks and sorry about the redundant thread, I missed that post from Zwill.

Honestly, when the red text came up I had to scroll up to see if there was a 30 minute warning because I was at the tailor. There wasn't one. Anyway, I didn't read all of it so I am not sure if it was their standard "The maintenance window is 2 hours....." or not.
I have not been playing at this time for the last few weeks, so possibly the trend changed, but Tuesday morning downtime has been pretty standard for several months.

Tuesday = patch day, most weeks after a big release

Even before Thursdays became the "normal" maintenance day Tuesdays were traditionally one of the days of the week where you could almost always count on some kind of maintenance period and/or patch regardless of announcement.|

Basically it's far, far easier to assume that BOTH Tuesdays and Thursdays could be days when the game is brought down for any reason and plan accordingly.

So...it's 12:35 EDST and nothing seems different.
Oh well. Time to level up some more!
I know weekly mantenaince is on thursday.
I know when they apply a patch for market or fix, they usually do it on tuesday.
I just missed the announcement... Well, in fact this time there was no announcement, just a post from Zwill.
Just that, not sure if the game supposed to be down.
I havent seen any annoucement about it.
