Allow me to clarify:

At 12AM on Monday (0:00 Monday 4/30) we'll be bringing everything down. This includes our account management system, launcher/patcher, forums and game. We'll be running maintenance on all of these systems for last minute checks and updates.

At 7AM Monday (07:00 Monday 4/30) servers, web, all will come back online. After that there will be no more planned outages. (cough cough level cap and restrictions removed cough cough).

(Yes, that is what it means!)

I guess game is going down for maintenance on Monday for 7 hours then coming back up to continue on w/ Headstart then Launch.

I don't think so. I think what they were trying to say is the following:

Head start begins 4 hours earlier than initially planned.
The game will be going down on April 30th, 11:59 PM PST
The game will continue to be down for the following 7 hours (May 1st, 12:00 AM - 7:00 AM PST)
The game will then be brought back up at 7:01 AM PST on May 1st for full launch version and patching.

Nothing was written wrong...

They're cutting into head start play time for maintenance so that the game launches live as scheduled on may 1st. Thats why they gave head start an extra 4 hours to compensate.

Hopefully live patch isn't too big, there will be thousands of people downloading it in that little window.

edit: might be a good time to turn on p2p option...

You might be right. Maybe they did write it correctly. It just seems odd that way.

@Cheg, I put it in the OP

EDIT: I wish they'd just change it to launch-ready now before the head start even began. Seems silly this way.

Unless I am crazy - Game is going down at 12AM on Monday, and coming back up at 7AM on Monday. Launch is 12AM on Tuesday.

That may be the accurate interpretation to be honest.

If that's the case though, I can't seem to wrap my mind around their logic. Why not get it launch-ready before headstart then if they are going to allow us to play launch version the day before official release?

It also seems silly because I would imagine you'd need to patch things like the level cap, and if that's what they are patching Monday morning, wouldn't people then be able to play past 38 the day before release?

That's why I feel they wrote it wrong and meant to say that the game will go down May 1st in the morning.

See where I'm coming from?
