Maintenance during prime evening time for NA servers

[InkB]

WRONG.

They choose the maintenance time based their normal work hours. You have to have engineers and technicians on stand-by in case something goes wrong to minimize the effects of potential problems.

What I'm wondering why people keep saying "Its japanese game" as defense - the servers are physically in NA, with NA employees working on them. Same with EU. The servers are in EU, with EU employees.

Do people think that Japanese workers will take a flight to NA to work on servers every 6+ months when we might have maintanance (which isnt often mind you)?! I mean if they literally do that, thats..intresting choice.

At least in EU we got the better deal. From 2 am to 11 am. Which makes way more sense anyway.

Edit: one thing in defense tho; they want to make the things at same time rather than have some players be able to play the patch earlier (this maint isnt patch tho, just in general idea). Or suddenly make surge of chars to JP DC to "play even little bit"
