Ever dependable Ted the Dog has posted up on the community boards that Home will be offline from 11a.m. GMT (about an hour ago) for thirty minutes to facilitate “some updates to the servers”.

Well, that half hour has come and gone and it appears Home is still barricaded up and not letting anyone in. Server upgrades always take longer than expected so hold tight as we’re sure they didn’t drop the code into a black hole or anything.

No updates planned for this patch other than the server tweaks. Are you in the Home beta and, like me,  befuddled by the lack of bearded fat avatars that surely represents at least 60% of our demographic?

Let us know in the comments or, you know, E.S.P. – if you have that ability.
