Change Maintainence Time

[gamesmart]

From a business standpoint, to SE this is the best course of action - minimizing impact on the majority of players - (mostly) past US prime time, and before JP prime time, the two largest customer bases for this game. Imagine the complaint threads that would appear if they did rotate maintenance times as all the people getting the short end of the stick have been suggesting - especially if one just "happens" to land in the middle of US prime time.

Sparktacus, would you rather maintenance happen a week after the patch, during which time people might find and possibly exploit game-breaking flaws? I'm happy SE's just addressing issues in a timely manner. Emergency maintenance is named so because there's stuff that needs to be fixed here and now. Scheduled maintenances are common in any MMO - we don't even get scheduled maintenances every week like other games do - our last two scheduled maintenances happened on August 18 and July 29.
