Anyone else staying awake? 
Will we get a “please reload” notice or something?
I can’t wait, I’m so curious!

We should have Nyan Cat running over the screen, animated and with sound and all 
(Reference to kaya dot gs that had the Nyan Cat when anyone mentioned any other Go server.
But … They who nyans last, nyans best!

I wonder when this really is? I clicked on the link in the OP, it told me it will be 12:00 my time, and various other times around the world. It seems really unlikely anoek was predicting to to finish at noon ACDT …

It says 3.30AM my time, so in about 75 minutes.

75 mins is noon here.
That’s too bizarre. What are the chance of living in a 0:30 timezone and finding that the server change will be noon!? :o
Edit: technically, I guess we can answer this question - if we assume that the predicted time is random when it would occur, on 30 min boundaries, then the chance of being in a timezone where it is noon about 1 in 50, which is a much better chance than I actually would have thought.
OTOH, what are the chances of the developer chosing a 30 min boundary for the expected time?? Why didn’t anoek say “around 2am GMT” instead of “around 1:30am GMT” !?

I’m a bad person, maybe RHOA ends at 1:30GMT?

Are you seriously up at 2:00am waiting for this thing? If so, I better try harder to keep you entertained

Nope, just unemployed and with a lavishly decorated suitcase of issues.
But I accept entertainment anyway.

It’s because there’s a rank adjustment bug that they’re fixing so there’s no 25 k forever problem and no constantly changing rank problem

Ah sorry to hear it. I’m supposed to be working, or I’d do better

Does anyone happen to know why it is that this change fixes the permanently-25k thing?

I think the idea is that it will only be a problem for what should now be 35k+ players, since all players ranked higher will become ranked 25k or higher.
It’s still a problem, but the people who are affected are fewer.

Hmm - I don’t think we have 35k+ do we? What rank is 0 glicko equal to at the moment?
(I’ve certainy never seen much past 30, or glicko remotely approaching 0!)
