[Patryn of Elvenshae]

Service Unavailable

Ditto.

 

[Elodan]

and thus begins the 4E era.

It's working now... slow, nothing on the screen yet.

I see the countdown go to zero... I click the "Now!"
And Service Unavailable is the result.
At least someone was smart enough to program a backoff.
Hopefully, it's a random exponential backoff.

ohhh, these masterminds really planned all this out. service unavailable. nice. thanks for that.

Yep, I got 'Service Unavailable' as well.

Perhaps '4dventure' is not actually a slogan for 4th Edition. Perhaps Ford Automotive is releasing a new line of fantasy role-playing themed SUV's.

Maybe this is all just an elaborate example of misdirection to draw our attention away from automobiles and maximize shock value.

I can just see Elminster ridin dirty in his Ford Basilisk, fireball gat tucked away under the seat blasting the latest audible glamer by Storm Silverhand from his Stereo..........

lame - no one should put a countdown on a site unless they're ready for absolute hordes to be there when it hits zero

I admit, having this happen before announcing something that is going to be heavily tied into the online world isn't something they can want.
