This is a problem with the NA and EU datacenters.
Which are in CANADA.

This has nothing to do with Japan.

Should know what you're talking about before you post http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_JP.aspx it's well into the day in Japan, you know where the company that owns and runs this game happens to be?

I think what you're missing is the Company who runs the game.... are at work as we speak, AND last time we had issues on a Sunday they worked on it even with the servers being in Canada. I'll let you look that up yourself so you can see the point, also SE being in Japan doesn't mean they can't work on something in Canada example does SE go to your house if you have a issues with the game or do they fix it from where they are?

Hello, IT experience here.

Reserve staff are kept on call for emergencies, which this is considered to be. You can expect a slower response time (2-3 hrs) than usual as people making $20-30k/yr tops cancel their family plans, dinner appointments, dates, and vacations to ship off to the office and do some unpaid overtime so you can keep playing your videogame.

This of course assumes that the problem is hardware-related cannot just be fixed remotely by an admin writing and running a few scripts.

Probably closer to 50-60k/year for that type of network admin work. 20-30 is less than what tech support makes lol. But otherwise I agree. =P

Yeah, that's what you'd expect an actual network admin to make. Most unimportant average work is going to be done by support grunts with scripts, though, not wholly-trained network pros. Cutting costs!

I get I was wrong

You bring up very valid points.
