Servers go down Wednesday 26 August, 05:00 to 07:30 (UTC‑2) — that is 07:00 to 09:30 UTC, or 09:00 to 11:30 CEST. If the work overruns, reopening moves back to match. Compensation is sent out afterwards.
The anniversary is the headline: Kingdom Celebration starts two days later, and the Red Diamond first top‑up bonus resets the same morning. Underneath it is a long maintenance list, including a Black Market pricing fix that had S+ Universal Shards on sale at twice what they should have been.
Reproduced from the official patch notes for this build.
