Server maintanence should probably not be done at primetime in NA.

"THE JAPANESE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED".

I'm dying lmfao

Why are you dying? Is it on account of your being as smart as a rock? Let me break it down for you:

1) Japanese players have their own servers to play on.
2) When considering maintenance windows on NA servers, the best time for Japanese players should not be considered - this is because of #1.

What does it matter when the maintenance is?

Are you dense? It matters because you shouldn't do maintenance when your servers are normally used most. Sheesh, are the people on this forum 12 years old? Have you graduated highschool yet? Do you have an ounce of common sense?

Haha Common sense says that if the servers are running this badly you take them down and fix them. Most people would gladly have the servers down for a day and get this all fixed than not being able to play at because of full servers, random disconnections, errors and so forth. When 50%+ of your fan base can't play, you take down the servers as soon as you can. Its that simple. A few hours of "prime time" mean nothing in the long run if they get these errors fixed.

Besides this is how SE operates. Most of us learned this with FFXI.

THE COMPANY IS JAPANESE.

We're not talking about the playerbase.

Not sure if you realize, but what would happen if they did this particular maintenance one datacenter at a time, the people who can't play on one, would flood the one that is remaining up and cause even more issues.
That's aside from the fact that you're asking them to do almost double the work by asking them to do one at a time.

We don't know yet how future NORMAL maintenance will be handled either...

You must not realize that the server groups are purely a geographical location. At no point is someone required to use a certain group. Moreover, there are plenty of non-Japanese people on the JP servers, to the point that during "prime time" in the US, they are just as full as the NA/EU servers. So, perhaps you should consider the concept of a globe, timezones, and the free-movement of folks between the servers before you weigh in on the topic. Not to mention the problem with taking down the various worlds in a piecemeal fashion. The strain on the remaining servers, given the complete lack of geographical boundaries, would be absurd.

QFT
I tried the Jap 'servers' and I had the same ping/connection as the NA/EU. It's likely that they are in the same DC (someone said Canada)
The reason for the time is, like someone already pointed out, that the devs and part of the tech people are in Japan, so they work during their work hours

No, you're the one that is dense. Japan, NA/EU have separate servers that are based in their region. This is not an American company, it is a Japanese company that will operate at their local time frame 17 hours ahead of USPST/14 hours ahead of USEST/9 hours ahead of EUGMT. If you're dumb enough to not realize that, then go back to WoW. The United States is not the be-all-end-all of the world. We're one shitty country that should be put second more often so that people like you don't think that just because they're in NA, they're more important than anyone else in the world.

about the country bullshit you just put in there you can fuck off. I disagreed with his post and just because of some selfish dimwitted child flames a post and happens to be from the us doesnt mean that All of us are like that. Our government has fucked our country to no end, but thats our government not us. The fact that you could post such trash like that just shows how old you are as well, your no better off than OP in that matter.

Your absolutely right though we are not the greatest thing in the world, were far from it, and anyone from us who thinks that is retarded as well. Our government is even now putting their nose in other persons buisness and its just even more so ruining our countries name, but you dont see me out bashing you and your country for it. So fuck off and get over yourself.
