Maintenance Schedules, please change them..

[Rekujen]

rotate them so the same people don't get bashed every time, I have lost 13 days game time this month alone... if they make them once a week or once a month (like FFXI) then obviously I wouldn't have a problem with it.. but coming home 2-3 days a week not being able to play isn't something I should be happy about.

great game
great communities

terrible maintenance schedule.

You do realize these are mostly emergency maintenances? I'm pretty sure no one was sitting around, making up the normal maintenance schedule, and said "3 times a week is good".

They find out there's a problem, find out the time period the least amount of people are playing, and schedule it then so they can fix it as soon as possible. They're not going to find a problem, then wait until regular maintenance to fix it.
This is a brand new game, so it has a lot of things that may go wrong until it smooths out enough that the only maintenance we have to look forward to is the scheduled weekly/monthly/whatever they go with. When they go wrong, sometimes it's best to fix them as soon as possible.

By the way, although I'm in North America, my sleep/work times means that when maintenance happens, it's almost always an hour or less after I wake up and eat and would like to play, so it's not like I don't understand. I just see outside my own personal bubble.
