All Worlds Maintenance (Sept. 11)

[M0xie]

Why is the NA data center doing the maintenace during prime American Hours during Japans down time?! Is this going to continue, one time was cute this is an unacceptable time for NA/EU.

It would appear to be prime "work" time in Japan which makes sense to me. It's one night!

What.
I'm not the only person who has read the Malazan Book of the Fallen?

Back on subject, I really thought we left all this "omg, how dare they do maint during NA primetime" whining behind in FFXI like... five years ago. Not playing for one night isn't going to kill anyone. There's plenty of other things to do.

Greetings,

In case you haven’t seen the news announcement posted on Lodestone, we will be holding a long maintenance on Wednesday, September 11th from 5:00 p.m. until September 12th at 3:00 a.m. This maintenance will address the below three things, which Yoshida mentioned in his post:



We apologize for any inconveniences this maintenance may cause, but appreciate your understanding as we do our best to enhance the servers to ensure comfortable playing conditions.

Can you pass long that the preforming maintenance during the NA peak play time is a little ridiculous... It would be appreciated... If you guys pushed it back like 3 more hours at least the PDT people could actually play after work for a little...

Why not put it this way. Say you're working at international corporation, would you stay at work until near midnight to do a job when you could just as easily do it in your daytime hours just so your international customers can access your product for that one day, whilst annoying the customers who could more easily come to your physical location to complain?

Me and the rest of Asian and oceanic players always got our maintenance on our prime time in WoW. We sucked it up cos we knew its an American based company. Square is a Japanese based company, maybe its time our NA friends learn to do the same ^_^

here the difference the majority should win if they have more players in Jap then fine if they have more here than they should at least attempt to adjust. Its only a day not on weekends I agree its not the end of the world but what we are saying here is each time they will affect us and not them and thats cool? I work for a bank myself we have had Asian prog firm work for us in the past they work the hours we tell them to with a smile because we pay them VERY well I have never heard a complaint about it all Asian I have had the privilege to work with has had tremendous work ethics lets not pretend like the workers don't want to work certain hours the company is not asking them.

Why they are not I do not know but the reason that they are Jap is not valid. My bank is Canadien yet we send out communication in several languages that we ourselve dont speak when our customer ask for it because we have a lot of client that are from China for example we don't say hey we are Canadien if you don't like it move back to china or do business elsewhere thats not how a professional company behaves. We do maintenance as well and despite the fact that our IT people are in the Vancouver office the majority of our business clients run on eastern time for us so we do our maintenance off their prime time because they are the majority not on pacific because the office happens to be located there. So if SE tells me hey listen 80% of our money comes from the Asian clients then ok I get it but if as I suspect they make most of their money from the American/Europe clients then they are simply not behave in a professional normal manner as a company.

They aren't adding the prolonged AFK disconnect at this time as well? nevermind about the content, probably something for "rushers" anyways.

And I'm on JP server so it doesn't really matter to me, but when are you guys going to start doing separate maintenance times for NA/EU data centers that are at more appropriate times of the day considering the time zone of the data center?

Sevenshade, get some reading comprehension.
