I just get a bit tired of "lets abuse American opinions" on these forums. Close to half of the Player Base has the 4th off, it's a good time to have the servers running, as you want to encourage people playing. The 24 hour downtime for patches, can be annoying at any time, but try and time those when people don't have a massive holiday. And by Massive, the 4th is a holiday that affects a large portion of the player base, and most people (besides Retail Workers) have the day off.
I should point out that they are not saying close to half of players are US citizens. they are playing on the North American server. thats all that figure states. not to mention the many that are working so they do not actually have the 4th off if they are in the US

I do not think your figures are saying what you think they say.
