i seem to remember thats what they do :D
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

They did the same last week with the US servers - and also yesterday with their downtime they managed to extend it too.

I work at a game related company and its funny to see the player count drift back and forth from game to web site to forums.  Its like watching a swarm of locusts that drift en-masse from site to site devouring resources.

First the game is up and then suddenly drops 20k people.  20k people show up at once on the titles web status page and pound it to death.  Then the forums are raped and dragged out back and shot.  Then the game comes back up and the login server is lynched and set on fire.  If you graph the traffic, its fairly predictable.
