from ZAM News (full)

NOTE: The time of this maintenence has changed since the original announcement. There will be some downtime for all SOE games in the early morning hours on Tuesday. Here's a note from Ashlanne over on the EQ Forums : Beginning at 10pm PST on Monday, January 10th, ALL SOE games, subscription and commerce services will be unavailable for maintenance. We expect this maintenance to take approximately ten hours. This might cause some forum accounts to temporarily lose permissions, due to the inability to verify account status while the maintenance is taking place. This is only temporary and normal permissions will return automatically once the maintenance is complete. We apologize for this interruption and will resume the affected services as soon as the maintenance is completed.
