Move down 2 hrs and another part of the world gets screwed. So no matter which way, someone has to take a hit.

This reminds me of my WOW days, where they always have maintenance every single week at 7pm-12am (GMT+8). Maintenance notice is usually given a few days before, so think of it as a mandatory break from gaming. Use that time to gym, go out on a date with gf etc etc. I don't know about you but a mandatory break is good at some point every week.
