I think what people are suggesting in this thread is that there should be an automated process. For instance, you put a note in the launcher that the game goes down at 8:00am EST. So then you only have to put a note in the software, "go down at 8am" and then a message is broadcast at 7am, 7:30, 7:50, whenever, and then the game goes down at that time. This way you don't have to have people watching the clock and manually sending messages at a given time.
As a level 1 burglar, Bilbo got a pony when he joined the Smaug The Dragon raid. Then he asked for leadership, looted the chest, assigned himself the 1st age Arkenstone and mailed it to an alt (Bilbo's a VIP so can mail from anywhere). They did some PvMP and an Epic Battle, then he apologized and gave the Arkenstone back because it wasn't BoA. He kept the pony.
