Maintenance During Prime Time?

[Sekkei]

Since I live on the east coast of the states, I've not really been affected that hard, if you ignore that I'm up until 3am or so anyway. If you ask me, Europe has always been the one to get screwed since the times for the states means that Europe's kinda screwed in the morning/midday.

now the servers go down right when people get off work and eat dinner!?

So are you imagining that everyone lives in the same time zone you do, or do you only consider the players who do as "people"?

[Leowilde]

Oh good lord, it's just a few hours. You'll manage. Really.

[FabricioRF]

Aww! Boohoo!

Let me play a sad song for you on the world's smallest violin.

It's a minor inconvenience at best. Surely there's other things you can do to pass the time? Other hobbies to indulge in? Games to play? People to talk to?

[RainesS]

How about you do other things that you enjoyed in meantime, it's not like you will be left in behind in terms of progression, it's just a few hours at best.

[UnstablePersonality]

You'll live, play other games.

Not really. Maintenances in Europe were at like 7am to 11-12pm, no prime time at all. Most ppl are at work or school. Old maintenances were both good for EU and NA imo.

The game is played around the world.
You can't expect it to always inconvenience Japan.

In the close to 3 years i've been playing i've allways known them to be around this time. Am i mistaken?
Also has nobody thought about the fact this could have nothing to do with inconvieniancing anyone but more with working hours in japan, with the people that have to actually do the updating? Do we demand they do it during night hours for them?
Agreed i can only guess, but i'm fairly shure everything software related is done remotely on each datacenter from japan headquarters.
