Upgrading software...? *grins* <--- Speculation

Relax, i'm sure they just fucked-up something. Just call, or e-mail them, and don't go crazy about it.

You know I'm surprised Blizzard doesnt put little red herrings all over there site after the whole SC2 Beta icon just to taunt people.

in this case battle.net goes down and everyone thinks there is gunna be a beta next day.

Interesting development for netease in the transition in China. They have confirmed recently that they will be hosting SC2 in that area as part of the deal.

Very interesting indeed. Thoughts?

Sounds like your theory may very well have some merit.

I don't really care about the why, though. I trust Blizzard. But MAN I want it to just hurry up and happen...

This does not actually progress my theory one way or another. I'm linking this in the thread in case this evolves into other news that may be related.

In jist, It seems like Blizzard has announced that they want to show off WoW with Netease and the government is kinda pissed at them because there should be no showing until they give the thumbs up.

Blizzard conducts regular maintenance on their servers every Tuesday which often impacts battle.net. No need to freak out. Just wait a bit and log on later.
