During the hot-fix, we will also be introducing new back-end infrastructure/code that changes a number of backend things around the ways that players go in and out of matches, join friends, etc. If all works well, this should be functionally identical to what is in place today, but it paves the road for the future introduction of Custom Servers, improved social features, and improved match-making. It is likely that some issues will be experienced as a result of this change, and the servers may go up and down a couple times today while we do this test. (We may rollback to the old system once any initial issues are discovered an analyzed.
