I have to add my voice to the OP's.

As someone from New Zealand, every single PC maintenance window starts somewhere between 17:00 and 20:00 for us. While I know that we aren't Square's biggest demographic down here, and I absolutely accept that regular maintenance is necessary on the game, I find it unfair that every maintenance eats a big chunk out of the subscription I'm paying for (and as with many others in New Zealand and Australia).

As it stands, with my 9-5 job, I have reduced (or no) play time one or two days out of every seven. Maintenance is fine, I just wish SE would spread it around the clock, so that it's not robbing the same group of people every time.
