From Victory's own Satanic Hamster, who got it off of the Euro boards:
| QUOTE | From the CoV general board:
| QUOTE |
The City of Heroes and Villains European servers will be taken down for maintenance and an update this afternoon, Tuesday 6 June, at 2pm BST*.
This maintenance is expected to take around two hours, and will bring Issue #7: Destiny Manifest to the live servers. Full release notes and other important information will be posted here on the boards and on the official websites once the servers are back up and the update has been verified.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, and thank you for your patience.
* British Summer Time, or BST, is the current time in the UK. The majority of Western European countries are 1 hour ahead of the UK, but please check a time zone converter (many are available on the web) if you are unsure about how your local time relates to BST. |

servers just went down for their maintenance. Possibly for the US servers as well???

Even more goodness:
| QUOTE | The respec will be granted later this week.
There will be free costume tokens awarded to all existing characters during today's maintenance. As with previous costume tokens, each character will receive one token per costume slot they have available (for example, if a character has three costume slots, they will be granted three free trips to Icon or Facemaker). |
Now, my only concern is this is the UK servers.. they wouldn't be that evil and give the UK issue 7 and make the US wait, would they?
p.s. the quote is from Bridger, a red-name on the UK boards.
EDIT: oh, look. with one token per slot available, goodie... another 4 free tokens for me.. and another 4 trips to ICON for Firespray!

It might very well be Issue 7
I just clicked on the Patch notes on the main site and it said Patch notes for 6.6.06.
Issue #7: Destiny Manifest.
Here is the LINK

Yea, just saw that off of the victory boards..
i was cruising through the post on the UK boards, when somebody asked if UK was getting I7 before US.
Badger said:
| QUOTE | Nope, the US will be getting Issue #7 at the same time.
The difference is that their serves are being updated during their normal maintenance window, whereas ours are being taken down in the afternoon, so we wanted to give you all as much notice as we could. |
now the waiting begins.... BADGES!!!!!!!!!!

It is fitting for Recluse's Victory to open on 6/6/06. This is the next best day to Halloween.

That is hilarious, because I want to ask if the servers are back up yet. I'm thinking about running home during lunch to try it out for a few.
So, are the servers up yet?

Servers are still down. the patching, downloading, applying, (at least for me) has taken 10 min so far. working on applying a 1007M patch.
I seem to remember Bridger saying it would take close to 2 hrs.
My suggestion: Go to breakfast/lunch, then don't show up at work again. GO HOME. if you get home before servers are up, then you can work on the applying so that you're rdy to go when they come up.
they'll probably be up in around 50 min. (time is 9:10 Central)
EDIT: THE OFFICIAL WORD FROM CUPPA:
| QUOTE |
Yes, it's true - Issue 7 is being patched to live servers!
Everyone should get a free tailor token as the servers come back up for all your tailoring needs.
Free Respecs will be handed out this Thursday morning 6/8/06, during normal maintenance time. Free respecs do NOT stack, so if you have an old one use it or lose it! |
Yes, it's after the fact, but still, it's an american red-name, instead of bridger.. the more people that say it's true, the better it gets :D

Aw shoot... I forgot about having to download the patch.

It can download while they are still working on the servers?

yea. just open up the coh window, and you'll start downloading, patching, applying.. whatever.. once that's done, it will tell you "OK" or whatever it usually does say. you can get to the password screen, but can't go to server select screen yet.

I am glad to see they will be issuing a free respec on 6-08-06. I have some toons that I was concidering shoving in the trash can. I hate deleting toons that I have spent time on and come up with concepts for.
It's kinda hard to make the first 24 levels to do the Respec TF when you are unhappy with the build.

Agreed. And just a note to everyone who may not already know: you can only carry around 1 free respec at a time. (Earned ones you can bank up to 3). So if anyone is still holding onto a free respec from the last time the devs gifted them to us, might as well use it.

When was the last time they issued a free respec? I may have one without even knowing it. Where do you go to claim your free respec?

1007? As in 1007 megabytes? As in just under 1 Gigabyte? That's awesome if they acutally put that much stuff into it. Not so awesome for the dial up players tho...
