I know this will fall on deaf ears because the scheduling of the maintenance doesn't really effect US and EU players (6am-10am EU is not a big deal) but for players in Oceanic time zone this has been a problem since day 1.

Maintenance is always 7pm til late, this cuts right through Oceanic prime time for both Australia and New Zealand. I'm sick and tired of coming home from work and unable to play every 2-3 days because there's maintenance.

I understand maintenance needs to happen and I fully support the reasons behind it, but surely you can shift the maintenance schedule a little? Not only do Oceanic players not have regional servers, we also pay more because of currency exchange reasons. The least you could do is support us in this regard?

Doesn't it make more sense to bump the hours ahead by just a tad?

Other MMORPG's have worked out the best hours so the least amount of people are affected, it seems for FFXIV they only took EU and NA in regard and didn't care about the rest?

3AM-7AM PST makes a lot more sense for many good reasons.

1. US players are sleeping (well, most of them)
2. NZ players are getting ready to sleep (3AM PST is 12AM NZT)
3. EU players are mostly at work or school (12PM GMT)

This would benefit everyone... and effect the least amount of people, why constantly shaft the same playerbase every single time? we are paying customers too, or do people not care about the minority?

I'd appreciate if this was forwarded to the engineering team and development team for their consideration.

Thank you.
