Attention Guardians, Destiny Will Be Offline Early This Evening

Bungie are taking the Destiny servers down for maintenance this evening and the will be offline for a number of hours.

• Starting at 9:00 AM Pacific (5:00 PM UTC), players will not be able to log into Destiny in preparation for maintenance.
• At 10:00 AM Pacific (6:00 PM UTC), players will be removed from activities as Destiny servers will be taken offline for maintenance.
• Maintenance is expected to conclude before 1:00 PM Pacific (9:00 PM UTC).

By my calculations that means UK players will not be able to log on after 5.00pm tonight, the servers will go offline completely at 6.00pm and everything should be back online around 9.00pm.
