FarmVille billing system down for maintenance

Tonight FarmVille players encountered a yellow text banner above the game informing them about a maintenance downtime for the FarmVille billing system. This downtime means that no one will be able to buy Farm Cash or coins from Zynga beginning at 11pm Pacific Standard Time. The estimated downtime is only 45 minutes, however it has already been 50 minutes and the banner is still displayed above the game.

This billing downtime is only for FarmVille; all other Zynga games appear to be uninfected. If you were planning to get your hands on more Farm Cash or coins tonight, you're going to have to stay awake until the downtime is over or make your purchase tomorrow. It's nice when developers give us a heads up on downtime and maintenance so that we know what to expect.
