What good would it do really? This is a good idea, there is a bit of room in the client window to note any extended maint but in all honesty, what good would it do for those that can't even bother to read the post on the forum(such as this) let alone READ in the client status window? It's just an all around fail, how many so far in this thread alone have asked about why the server isn't up yet? Heh, lazy people, even when handed the info to them they still look dumbfounded.
Agreed. Maybe reading is too much for some people these days.
