Excessive Maintenance

[Avenger]

I'd like to see a couple of things:

1. Scheduling maintenance at the time when the fewest people log in. I'm not sure when this is on the NA/EU servers.

2. Possibly scheduling maintenance at different times of the day so different groups are inconvenienced.

Patch 2.51 maintenance was at 9 PM pacific, tonight's NA maintenance was 11PM pacific, and it seemed like our server was pretty busy. 7AM GMT is probably great for people on GMT (unless they play all night or before breakfast) but couldn't it be shifted a bit later, like during the work/school day?

Actually, tonight's maintenance began at 11:00 P.M. PST. It's not exactly primetime for NA players, especially since it's a Thursday, lol. If this was on a Friday or the weekend, you'd be onto something here, but as it stands... Maintenance usually takes place at around this time or a little sooner during the week when it's not as packed anyway.

Sorry, I was thinking of the patch 2.51 maintenance, which was 9pm - posted before finishing editing. Tonight mog station was down at 9pm but game maintenance was 11pm pacific. But lots of people who have work or school play in the evening rather than during the day.
