With the ammount of server uptime for no monthly fees, i couldnt care less about a little downtime for maintenance, you dont need to make an apology.
Thanks for the heads up though.

Wow. Thanks a lot. Now I potentially won't have anything to do for an entire hour. I hate you Arena.Net. My life is now officially f-cked because of you. Thanks so much. No. Really. Thanks for utterly destroying my life, assholes.
On-topic: lol... Just kidding, btw. Thanks for the heads up! xD

They're keeping it off for an hour so people are forced to DC and can't reconnect... some people stayed on for weeks when the original plains farmer was nerfed.

I'm liking this sudden stream of updates on upcoming things from you Regina, makes me feel like you and the live team actually care about the community by letting them know what's happening before it does.

Indeed, downtime is astonishingly rare with this game. That's one area where ANet has always had it together.

Does this mean we will still be able to play/log in but MIGHT be kicked locked out?Are you saying the servers will still be up and not go completely down all at once?Or should we not even bother to try to log in during that time?

So to answer your question: No. You probably won't have an issue getting online and yes you are free to log on during this potential 1-hour "downtime".

They don't guarantee you'll be able to get on; they don't guarantee that you won't. They don't guarantee that you won't get disconnected in the middle of something. Basically, you're taking responsibility for it yourself about whether you try or not, and if you have a negative outcome, ArenaNet has no responsibility to try to remedy it or compensate you for anything you may lose in the process, because we the players were fully warned in advance.
Whether you try to log on is at your own discretion. I certainly wouldn't suggest logging on to do anything important, or anything you'd be upset to be interrupted at. Basically, just know you could get the boot at any time without option to reconnect at the same point, and plan accordingly.

@Anakita,yeah thats what I thought,thats cool.(it means I wont be looking for another mmo in the maenwhile that I might get hooked on)
@JonnieBoi05,ow I didnt realize there has been a maintanance before, or at least i made myself think this one will be like bringing the server down for a hour to do work,like many other games do, and was thinking to mysel "wow this will be the first time GW will be down" but i see its not that kind of maintanance.

Curses... I need that one hour in my evil plan to rule the world! You foiled my plans for the last time Regina Buenaobra! I shall have my revenge!
On a serious note, thanks for the heads up. No Underworld runs late Wednesday afternoon.

Nice to hear about the maintenance. I can handle a little downtime. GW has been up for months, so, what's giving up an hour or two?
Thanks, Regina.
Thanks, Regina.

You don't need to apologize for it, Anet. Well, I guess some players think you do, but some of us realize that this is the nature of the beast, and has to be done every once in a while. And we don't mind.

Thanks for the heads-up. I won't be doing anything "important" at that time then ^^

So if I'm running people on a dungeon like [email protected], [email protected], or [email protected] and I get disconnected by ACCIDENT 
, my account won't get banned for scamming customers????
and vice versa...I'm buying runs and runners disconnect, runner won't get ban for stealing all of our gold and getting disconnected at 1am PST????
NEW SCAM!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

If you're the runner, you are potentially opening yourself up to accusations of scamming if you're unable to complete the run and don't repay. You should consider in advance how you will settle failed runs, and not schedule your runs for times like during the server maintenance when your chances of failure is high.
You very well might be banned for scamming if you rig a failed run, even if the server maintenance was the cause. It's not guaranteed, but don't assume you'll have immunity for any possible in game behaviour. If it's demonstrably malicious, you may still get in trouble. Buyer beware, though, too, in a major way.
