Why all the maintenances are always on EU prime time?

[Felis]

Maintenance begin 23:00 in germany (we have now gmt+2 thanks summer time). It's a bit after prime time.

Wish they would give EST time :c

Back home (England) it's midnight. I'd say it's well past prime time.

If you want to complain about maintenance being in prime time, why don't you give a nod to USA since it's 16:30 on the west coast, and 19:30 on east. I think that qualifies as prime time. . .

It's not SE's fault they do them in generally off hours of their nation which may fall into your prime time. Blame the world for being large enough that there's multiple time zones.

This has been said over and over during the FFXI days, they're not purposefully doing it in EU prime time, they're doing it it in their offhours/early work hours, just like NA based companies do their MMO maintenance during times when most people are at work or school (if it's not down for the whole day.)

More like they choose times when the least amount of people are playing the game. Which just happens to be EU prime time.

I don't rly think its EU prime time..
Its something between EU and USA prime time - pretty good timing imo

Not really. They tend to wait many hours before performing emergency maintenances (often 6+ hours). They only do them immediately if it's something really serious.

That said, the last few maintenances have started 23:00 (11pm) my time, so it's not too bad for me in Norway at least.

Paying back the wrong countries then, see Felis's post. And no, EU isn't a country, nor is EU Germany.... we're working on it though. HAR HAR HAR.
