Ciris: Hey guys!

Due to scheduled maintenance, GOG.com is expected to be down for a short time tomorrow at 7am CEST (5am GMT / 1am EDT / tonight at 10pm PDT), and you may experience some difficulties as various features start going back online once the site itself will be back up.

Please bear with us, and please let us know in this thread or on Twitter (whichever channel feels easier or is available to you at the given time) if issues with various site features would persist for longer than 15-20 minutes after the scheduled maintenance time!

haydenaurion: You're not gonna pull another fake shutdown stunt are you? :P
If there was even a slight possibility of that, don't you think we would kind of NOT announce it? :P
So you are doing a "maintenance" on the day Gamescom starts, you say?

Thank you for the warning :)

This is my thinking too, seems to me this could be related to that long overdue Galaxy update with many of the features that would need to be implemented on the site such as the "search for friends". One could hope anyway. Would make sense they would want to get something big out around Gamescom while the focus is on gaming.

After that stunt, I don't really know with you guys. I honestly half expected a staged hacking of the site for the System Shock 2 release after that. :P
I certainly hope some forum fixes are part of the updates...and that the fixes don't break something new.

That is a good point.
Whaat? How can I live without my FaceGog!

Ok.. I'll GOGbear with you..
Maybe it would be better if they shut the forums down for a week or so, to let everything that's been going on the last few days cool down - and work on it not being a broken mess in the mean time.

But yeah, I think this downtime can only be a good thing. I just hope that there are actually going to be new features, and not "features".

Yes, please don't break the site more gog. Some extra security to combat the recent account stealing would be nice too.

cogadh: So, is this just scheduled maintenance or the promised community fixes?
This is what I'd like to know as well.

Oh I wanted for that to happen so bad :D The scenario would have been as follows:

1. User goes to the main site:
2. Main site starts loading as normal and theeeeennnn
3. SHODAN takes over the screen
4. Insert some interesting voice clip for SHODAN
I hope this time maintenance doesn't involve monks.
