I've been playing MMOs for a long time myself, and I have never, ever played an mmo with this many maintenance periods outside of the launch window. We're no longer in a launch phase, yet it's still Defcon 5 over there at SE. They can't keep taking it down every 2-4 days for the rest of the time I'm playing this between the hours of 10p-2a pst... this is twilight hour for a lot of us swing shift where I sleep during the day. This is my afternoon. I get that they're in Japan and that's their priority and I can deal with this being a once a week thing, but tossing the weekly maintenance coupled with emergency maintenance every other day and it just gets to be too much.

For hells, we had 27 hours of maintenance from Mon-Tuesday, and two damn days later they have a scheduled maintenance? It's freaking brutal. They can't keep this op-tempo up for the life of the game.
