Are you dense? It matters because you shouldn't do maintenance when your servers are normally used most. Sheesh, are the people on this forum 12 years old? Have you graduated highschool yet? Do you have an ounce of common sense?
You must not realize that the server groups are purely a geographical location. At no point is someone required to use a certain group. Moreover, there are plenty of non-Japanese people on the JP servers, to the point that during "prime time" in the US, they are just as full as the NA/EU servers. So, perhaps you should consider the concept of a globe, timezones, and the free-movement of folks between the servers before you weigh in on the topic. Not to mention the problem with taking down the various worlds in a piecemeal fashion. The strain on the remaining servers, given the complete lack of geographical boundaries, would be absurd.
