    Not saying 11 PST isn't a bit early to start maintenance.. But this statement people keep defaulting to is just mind boggling. What game exists where they play SPIN THE WHEEL OF MAINTENANCE TIME!!! and start at a random ass time.

A Veteran MMO gamer knows that the experience of the game is stretched out over years, and if crafted properly, it leaves players with some of the best gaming experiences to be found anywhere.

    I like it the way it is now because I'm always asleep when they do maintenance.

    Careful OP, I was banned for mentioning a "rotating maintenance"

    If anything, it should be once a month.. like FFXI was and when they need to implement a hotfix, they shouldn't need 4 bloody hours -_-

    I'm just upset that I only get to play on weekends since maint has almost been every evening since HW. I get home at roughly 11:30 PM every day and Maint is always going haha.

    Anyway, all of the elitism is unwarranted. It isn't as if everyone here is PVPing to compete for openworld Raid bosses or anything like that. Heck, most of us don't even pvp.

    Still, is 1AM-4AM PST so hard to ask for, and still places it fairly favorably, but allows better play time for us late nighters (myself being one of them).

    Here's hoping something can change, at least?
    Oh yeah, they're going to make it 5-6pm to 8-9pm Japan time... yeah, right. No point hoping about something that would never happen.


    Edit: Or, you know, stagger the server down time per region.
    Also not going to happen. This would only happen if regions were separate and locked, meaning NA couldn't play on JP and visa versa.

    I work nights too but the bottom line is no matter when you do maintenance, someone is always going to get screwed over.

For these non-emergency maintenances, please consider staggering NA / Asia server maintenance so that maintenance on NA servers can happen IN THE DAY TIME like Blizzard does it.

    Ever thought that maybe its because Blizzard is a US company and their employees are working during maintenance hours, and that SE is a Japanese company and has maintenance at our nighttime for the same reason?

    I swear, it's almost like people think they're purposely choosing to spite nighttime players.
