Congratulations EVONY, you won the PRIZE!
I just went to get something to eat. When I came back there was a message (an alert popup) saying that the server is due for maintenance in 15 minutes.
THAT new system will save me (and who knows how many others) a LOT of frustration.
Before the warning was only in chat, and I never saw it and then the server would go down while my tax was on 100% and I would have to sit around wondering what's going on.
But now I have prior warning (which I can't miss) and I can put my tax on 20% first :D
