Seriously? Maintenance on Christmas Eve?

[Xystic]

I like when games I play work and MMOs require a lot of upkeep. I am fine with this.

Me too.

People also need to remember Christmas day and eve maybe slow but the days following them is a massacre. Its best to be prepared for maximum server over load for any MMO during this season.

I guess it is what it is but I know for me my kids are little and will not be up that late to spend time with. My wife and I will be done watching "A Christmas Story", "Christmas Vacation", "A Christmas Carol", and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" already and she will be in bed also. This is a nice time to get play time in but they can never do it...they always have to do it at a crap time when a lot of people play. Holidays is when people have time off to play...they have down time....lots of it....you cannot talk to your relative for 16 hours straight....right....?

Maybe you should go to bed early anyway so Santa can deliver your presents.

A common misconception.

The date of Dec 25th was actually established by First and Second Century Christians such as Irenaeus and Hippolytus of Rome (who both pre-dated 'Saturnalia') and they held the common traditional belief that a martyr died on the day of their conception. Ergo, if Christ died on March 25th; March 25 + 9 months = Dec 25th. Further evidence supporting that date has been extrapolated from the priestly tenure of Zacharias at that time.

You and Korbei are both right about the origin of christmas. And yes Korbei, Jesus do exist.

Topic: there's nothing wrong with that, SE wants you to go to sleep XD

Also need to remember that things like Christmas bring in a lot of new gamers.

It is a shame that on a world wide national holiday

Here's a clue for you: the 'world' is more than just the USA, or even USA+Europe!

I'm sure we'll all be fine for three hours without our beloved ARR.

Welcome to every week for us NA late night players. Suck it up and do what we have to do EVERY WEEK(sometimes a couple times) and play something else for a few hours.

I only work a 1/2 day that day, and will probably get some playtime in that night. That said, the maintenance doesn't even start until 11pm my time. I think I can log off at 11 without losing any sleep.

[Bluevann]

Damn, I didn't know about this maintenance! I'm totally unprepared now! What could I possibly do to spend my time isolated in my room while my family is in the other room spending quality time together?!



Nope. Sarcasm.
