    They know the Americans will complain no matter what, so may as well give them something to complain about.

    People talking about how SE is based in japan must not remember or didn't play during 2.0.

    It's been a long time, but I remember maintenance happened late at night a whole lot back then. I'm not sure when or why they stopped caring about american primetime...but it does kinda suck.

    Maintenance for me usually starts at 11pm or midnight and finishes early in the morning. Except for major patches that take 24 hours.

    The fact is, no matter when they take the servers down globally, it's going to be prime time for someone. It's unavoidable in a global service.

    Also yes, the name "America" refers colloquially to the United States of America. If you're talking about the continents, you'll add the North or South to it, and every other country on these continents just refers to themselves as their country. Our's happens to share its name with the continent it's on, and "The United States of America" is a mouthful.

    They work extremely long hours, including weekends. I think the question should be asked, "When will we start caring about theirs"?

    Concerning this subject of maintenance during our normal play time in the west, they understand we do pay for their service, and I personally enjoy what they have to offer, but....

    It's best to remember they are human too, table manners and patience should be offered to others just the same as you would wish them practiced upon you. And even the best hotels require their tenants to leave the room at some point during the day so they can change the sheets and clean up so it remains of a star quality.
