Got EID_BROADCAST on two different servers ~ 5 minutes apart from each other: This Battle.net server is going down for maintenance. Please connect to another server.
My theory is that they've pushed new server code to support new features for SC2.

Maybe they're fixing that problem where it doesn't report any members higher than a peon in an 0x7D request if it's full,
and this too:

mmm... who knows?
Europe went down 2 times today, 4 hours apart.
So what ever they are doing, they didn't get it right the 1st time round.
Probly some idiots running around in the server room and a blizz worker tripped and fell onto the big red button labled "pretend to do maintenance"

What??
this thread is funny. everynow and then i'm sure the computers that the servers run on have to be restarted...hardware maintenance/software upgrades...
Interesting typo finding.

That typo has existed since the beginning of time. I wouldn't be surprised if they left it alone due to how long it has been like that.
Well, W3 1.22 was pushed today. Maybe there were server updates required for something?

yeah, the servers were updated to know about the newer version probably
Nah, Blizzard's servers can see the future. They know on which date as yet unfinished patches will eventually be released.
So it must have been something else. :P

A) The servers were restarted a full day before the new patch was pushed
B) There is pretty strong evidence that suggests there is no need for a server restart to push a new game update - it's just a new BNFTP file and verbyte in most cases
