Maintenance during prime evening time for NA servers

It's a japanese company, they do stuff when they are awake. I know that are shocking news but NA isn't the center of the universe and the world isn't a flat disk.

So stop crying, you are endangering the netherlands by raising the sea levels.

Maintainance is hardly that big an issue. It's even worse for those of us on pacific time as it starts at 6PM. You want to talk about the prime time for players to play, we have it worst of all every time. But even living here, it's not that big a deal. You simply take that one night off from playing.

Oh, look, another "THE WORLD DOESN'T REVOLVE AROUND THE US?!? FIX NAU!" thead.

How original.

Game is down? Do. Something. Else.

When I first started playing in 2014, I remember times were later and there were times when it wasn't in NA prime time. I'm not sure entirely sure when they changed everything. And they have been getting earlier and earlier. So I've never quite understood the argument that they always have maint during Japan's business hours because they didn't always do that. Plus I know in my job, we don't take our systems down in our business hours. We do our maintenance in off hours.

Sleep is overrated. Until one needs to sleep, then it means everything. But still, it's overrated.

A more accurate summary is "American discovers the world does not revolve around the United States, shocked pikachu face ensues"

Most maint times aren't during NA prime time. Most of them start at 11PM PST. Only occasionally do we have earlier starts.
