Today was a bad choice for NA maintenance.

[Ilan]

It was obviously long enough announced when this maintenance is happening so there is absolutly no reason to complain about it. Suck it up and play something else.

I think that everyone understood by now that the US don't have this holiday, too bad for you but that doesn't mean that other countries, yes there are other countries than the US on this planet, don't have a this holiday.

The majority of the continent doesn’t have Easter Monday off. It’s not something Square-Enix even considered because it’s not a real holiday.

The only reason I’m pointing out that Easter Monday isn’t a thing in every country is because the OP doesn’t seem to realize it; and they seem to want SE to cater to a specific holiday that isn’t even officially recognized by everyone. That simply won’t work—you can’t cater to everyone’s holidays, so you pick the common ones (e.g., Christmas, New Year’s, Easter Sunday) and go from there. You can’t pick every holiday or random ones that some countries do or don’t recognize. We’d never get anything done if SE tried to cater to every holiday in existence.

I didn't mean you personally but some people here act like only players from the US would play on the NA servers thats why i wrote that. Of course you can't know every holiday of every country.

While I haven't read the entire thread.....if people are this annoyed about 24 hour maintenance to split the servers, how are they going to feel before early access, when it's at LEAST 24 hours, and can possibly be more, like right before Stormblood.

So in the words we all love to hear:

Please look forward to it

Every. Single. Maintenance.

[Krotoan]

Yet another reason not to live in any one game. Go clean your house or something, I'm sure it could use it. I know mine could.

[Penthea]

People replying with the "you were told months ago" don't even know that's irrelevant. People are NOT taking the day off work. They get the day off as a holiday!

So what you're saying is SE shouldn't run maintenance because some people have a day off over a religious holiday that falls on a different date every year, a great deal of the world don't celebrate it, and those that do don't all celebrate it on the same day (Easter is a week later in the Greek Orthodox Church).

Right

[Selova]

I disagree, there is honestly no better time for them to do this than during a content lull several months before the next expansion launches. There is no way they can accommodate every single player on NA servers who just happens to have the day off work, that is literally impossible for them to do.
