Global official updates and notices ↗

Reviewed the October 6/7 update and latest notices including completed October 8/9 maintenance and a resolved Europe outage. Also read three official launch/server-matching posts returned by the Rift search. These do not establish a recurring regional rift clock. This is a bounded review, not a claim that no official timetable exists anywhere.

Regional local-clock reference: 02:00 and every three hours; South America uses Sao Paulo and Asia uses Seoul. Claims a ten-minute entry window. This differs from Hub for those regions. NA and Europe agree before the coming DST changes; later behavior is not assumed.
