The only game to patch during prime time

Japanese Based Company = Japanese Based Work Hours

This is sheer laziness?

So you want a monthly sub of $39.95 so they can pay overtime?

I highly doubt any of the devs are on an Hourly based wage. When you have a multi-million dollar product such as ff14 you cater to your largest user-base.

Convert the time zone to GMT+9
You'll get 9AM to 7PM

It is perfectly natural for a Japanese company to have their employee come to work in the morning (Japan time), work throughout the day, and go back home in the evening.

Whose prime time? Have some respect and consideration for the rest of the world, you dick.

Why is everyone jumping on the OP so bad? There are NA, European, and Japanese servers are there not? I don't see why they can't schedule maintenance better for each region.

Time Zones:
Japan: 09:00-17:00
UK/GMT: 00:00-10:00
USA: 17:00-03:00

Makes sense since europe is sleeping and japan is working during those times.

ARR is played globally. So if they scheduled their maintenance around the prime playing hours for any one region, the rest would be upset that they showed favoritism. So they do maintenance during their normal business hours, indiscriminate of any region.

FFXI was like this. Plenty of other MMO if you do not like the down time they choose.
