UPDATE: This has not been added to your preferences page yet. However, gold accounts will not expire tonight (even if you have 0 days left!) and they will not start expiring until we've added a week of Gold Accounts onto all accounts. (Sorry this took so long to update - we're working on getting the site to work 100%!)
The site is getting back into working order! To apologize for the downtime, we've awarded everyone who had a gold account an extra week. :)
The cash shop should be back online soon.
About the news - The reason it's backwards is a bug in MySQL, we are waiting for the site to be stable before we upgrade to fix the problem.

My GA expired anyway as well. Are we going to get compensation in any way?
Thanks.
