I mentioned the fact that I'm in Hawaii didn't I?
EA/Mythic is on the east coast. When I woke this morning, which is earlier than the roosters, the time given by Chrissay had just about ended. Knowing this, I didn't even attempt a log in until several hours later (I woke at 4am, I attempted several log ins, over a period of 7 minutes from 8AM to just before the time I posted, so I could get the wording of the error message correctly). I should not have hit an error message as several hours past the deadline Chrissay gave had already passed. So I don't know what uploading/downloading you are talking about.
For all intents and purposes, and according to the timeline Chrissay gave, I should have been able to login without having the error message (i.e.; Timeline equivalent to HST = 11:00PM 9/21 to 5:00AM today).
Since there was no more posts relating to a delay or some such, I decided to post my encounter here. I still thought it necessary to bring it to a developer's attention. Otherwise I wouldn't have wasted anyone's time.
Anyway, everything seems to working fine now. Thanks anyway.
Regardless, I'm in a hurry, bitchy and now I'm out the door heading to my doctor's.
