maintenance constantly eating up game time

ill assume Japan has more of the playerbase. Or at least maintenance is catered towards their play times. It would be nice if it started at like 3 or 4 am central time and go until 7 or 8 am. Or have a different maintenance time for each Region.

Idk, I am in the US and the maintenances generally fit in well for me. They usually go somewhere from 2AM to 6AM EST for me

SE seem to be keen on maintenance from 6am to 10am GMT (1am to 5am EST) and a lot of the planned maintenances fall into that window (+1 hour to those times when on summer time like now). In Japan that's 2pm to 6pm (they don't use summer time).

I have no idea exactly how they picked that window (combination of when staff/support contracts are active as well as to impact on least number of players), but whenever they schedule a maintenance it's always going to cause problems for someone.

Realistically they can't do a different maintenance time for each region as a lot of the planned maintenance are for all worlds, it doesn't make sense to have to do 3 separate maintenances when they could the whole lot at once and that also assumes players are on the server of their region. With North America also having timezones with a difference of over 5 hours, it's just not possible to make everyone happy.
