Splitpaw and Runneye Coming up After 11 Hour Update

Originally announced as a 2 hour update, then revised to an 8 hour update, Splitpaw and Runnyeye are finally coming up after 11 hours, 30 minutes of downtime. Apparently the TSA wanted to pat down McScroogle himself before allowing this export of Frostfell goodness to Europe.

Rothgar‘s comments when queried about the long update:

I’m not sure why the downtime estimate was 8h. It should be publishing the hotfix which shouldn’t take nearly that long.

I just checked with our operations department and apparently there were some networking issues that caused the file transfers to take much longer than normal. They report that the servers are being smoke-tested right now and should hopefully be up soon.
