Why would you schedule server maintenance during Prime time hours???

[NargaHuntress]

Because they obviously don't give a shit about US players.

Well you can say the same about the "Americans" not giving a shit about the European, Oceanic, and Australian players. Cuz ALMOST EVERY western mmo they play they get maintenance during prime time. SO NOW IT'S OUR TURN! DEAL WITH IT!

The problem for SE is gonna be that NA is the majority of their customer base, it's not wise to anger such a large portion of your customers.

I, for one, think maintenances should not be this frequent and always during the peak gaming time of the same time-zone. Arena.net has, since GW1, provided constant service with little to no interruption for both the first and second game of the series. While they are being published by NCsoft, Arena.net is a fairly small company when compared to SquareEnix which should be working really hard right now to make this release as smooth as possible. (And we all know that the release has been so far extremely rocky and poorly prepared.)

Some may say that expecting no maintenance makes me a "spoiled" bastard or that I should play GW2 instead of whining here. But facts are facts, if a company can make servers run continuously, why can't Square do it? Or at least provide downtimes which do not affect each zone's peak hours?

Well, I'd like to ask everybody that would you be comfortable with your internet going down during your prime time and be okay with it because it's a Japanese owned ISP? I'd like to hear your response.

If Yes, then why does MMORPG get a free pass on this complaint?

If No, then what makes you keep coming back?

I would give a witty response to this but for some reason I am constantly being distracted by the owl.

I wanted to play when got off work. But hey right now I am watch Dr. Phil that I recorded and drinking a Heineken. I will play for a couple hours when it's done.

/gets popcorn.... All these whiners are very entertaining, who says I'm not getting what I paid for.

[LadyVaJedi]

My Dr. Phil is done and now I am watching American Dad with my kitty CoCo Chanel on the sofa with me.

Yea, I guess it's good for euro players. 2am there right? Still if they pushed the maintenance to 1pm Japanese time then its 7am europe and 11pm NA. Would have been a significantly better time.

So, looks like the Japanese servers are back up, but not the NA ones... feel the love...
