The only game to patch during prime time

[Skarith]

It's perfect for me. 0:00 -10:00 am here in europe, sweden at least. So if it's great time for both europe and japan I dont' see what you're complaining about? I'm pretty sure those two gorups together outweigh just NA

dat special snowflake

OP Maintenance Happens and fixes stuff. Everything will be ok.

02:00 - 12:00 just sounds perfect to me.

[Duero]

perfect for me too btw. I can play late at night (2am) go sleep then go to work and come back to play again without seeing a bit of the maintenance

It's a 10-hour maintenance. There isn't more than a 4-hour block of time outside any of the game's 3 regions' prime time, so someone's going to get impacted. Also, the game is still on several types of lock-down, including a sales stoppage on its biggest source of new customers less than 2 weeks after launch. It's critical for them to increase capacity, install critical tools and functionality, and make some serious bug fixes. And last but not least, it's probably a good idea if the people at the center of this major operation aren't pulling a 12-hour all-nighter after a 12-hour all-day shift.

Anyway, once maintenance gets more routine, like around 3 hours long, then SE should be able to slide them into one of the two non-primetime periods. If they don't, then maybe the affected region will have some justification to gripe about it. But in the past, maintenances were only about every month or two, and had a big list of new game features with them, so there was mostly excitement rather than griping, IIRC.

You'll cry. You're gonna cry. You always cry, see? You're crying.

For all we know, JP + EU > NA alone. As an American, i have no problem with this. Means I can actually get some studying done

Looking at server numbers, Japan has more people playing than US and only slightly less than US and EU combined. Then again you can be in any server you want, so it's impossible to tell who plays where.

I see that humility is alive and well.

[HamHam]

As a former XI player. I'm use to it and I have no problem with SE doing maintainance during those hours. If it makes the game better, then go for it.

dude 8pm is not prime time, in america like 4-9 is primetime, 8 it definately winds down for people who have lives and jobs and are responsible and not leeching the interwebz from their parents and living in there basement. 8-6 is amazing, at least its not WoW's stupid 5am-2pm crap, when you get a day off work, tuesday is just the worst day to have a day off work in WoW
