Maintenance during prime evening time for NA servers

[TaleraRistain]

I don't think they did. Patches always released at the same time across servers so no region got content early.

I just went back to 2014 and read from there forward to about 2019 on the Lodestone maint page. And they weren't flagged as Emergency. They did eventually stop doing it. I forget which page.

Its always been this way.

Note, ALL of these are All Worlds Maintenance.

Specific world/datacenter maint happens at various times.

I mean if you want to cherry pick things to look correct, go ahead. Go back to about page 53 and there are plenty of instances of maint at 12 to 3 or 11 to 2/3 or sometimes specific NA/EU that is 11 to 6, including one that involved infrastructure. Even the one that did some major structural changes was midnight to midnight. It's been a gradual drift earlier and earlier over the years, but it was much later for an extended period of time in the early game.

Maintenance will always been at a prime time for someone. No matter what, there will always be someone who is unhappy with the time, and technically, not everyone will win when it comes to maintenance time.
