Maintenance Schedule

[Vydos]

Are we really going to make a thread complaining about the times with each friggin maintenance!!!

Yes I'm bolding this stuff because it's getting ridiculous. This game is made for a world wide audience. Someone, somewhere WILL get screwed over by those times. Stop acting like spoiled children and do something productive with your time. This is honestly the first time that I'm writing a sort of an angry post.

Who is picking these times? Because someone should seriously be fired from their job.

"OMG I CANT PLAY A VIDEO GAME FOR TWO HOURS FIRE PEOPLE! MAKE THEM LOSE THEIR SOURCE OF INCOME BECAUSE I CAN'T PLAY A VIDEO GAME FOR 2 HOURS!"

And people truly wonder why NA gamers are usually seen in a negative spotlight..

Who is picking these times? Because someone should seriously be fired from their job. You guys have already screwed us NA players out of countless hours of peak game time and you are still doing it. Learn to schedule this at appropriate times. It's not that hard since you are claiming you are monitoring the servers so closely. I can tell you my server has a que during this time of the day so maybe you guys should do it earlier. or much later.

Once again. Were is this game based outta?

Yeah but just like there previous game they use false advertisment

No monthly fee! : Sure but the cash shop is horrible and you are forced to use it
Massive world to explore : true
Incredible NPC AI : They are actually pretty stupid and lame
Over 56,400 character archetypes : sounds about right
Fully PvP : sure but just like the previous game they forget the disclaimer that once u flag yourself for PvP you can not turn it off
Highest resolution graphics : Really depends on your hardware here but they have taken it to the max

Now i would however love to play the game when they have removed all the bugs.

Aye will be fun when all the bugs are fixed, especially the AI ones.

lol at the 7-9 est on a Friday. Granted I'm usually at the bar till 8 or 9 after class on Fridays but still. It's a NA/EU center, should be 2am-4am (PST), which should give 5-7am EST, and something like 11am-1pm EU time. Prime time avoided!

But.. That is 6:00 pm for them. Nobody at SE is working then in Japan. It doesn't matter what time you would like it to be. They are doing it during their work hours and making a thread complaining about how you can't play for a couple of hours wont change it.

I call bs on that no monthly fee. My mortgage is definitely costly.

Should be changed to fully interactive.

So are we getting one these post each week?
pls Square just sticky this for everyone to read:

Manteinance is at the same time for all worlds...reason for this is that the authentication servers are all in JP, is what allows us to create characters on those servers, so when they go down all worlds go down.
NA is only a data center, no devs, no authentication server or mant team on this side of the ocean.

Actually what SE is doing is what any successful international company would do, screw the less possible ammount of customers.

Mant times are:

8AM to 10AM +/- hours in Japan, Australia, SE Asia. Everyone is either working or at school.
1AM or 2AM to 3AM or 4AM in Europe (Lon, Par, Ber respectively). Thats an off hour, everyone is sleeping
4PM - 6PM in NA (PDT) prime time for most NA

If you think NA has more customers than JP + Aussies + Europe combined, then I want some of what you're smoking

Also...why do people keep saying it's Friday prime time? The 19th is Thursday...
