The only game to patch during prime time

[Zeretal]

lol silly americans think its their game

[GilbertLapine]

I agree.

Not only does the timing suck but how can they need 10 hours to do "maintenance" in this day and age? WTF are they using for hardware, pentiums?

I find GW2 boring as hell but ANet as a company has its tech shit together. Their game just doesn't have much down time and THAT is how it should be for ALL MMORPGs these days.

I want you to think in this scenario

Global Maintenance: NA/EU/JP maintenance in same time -

When problem occurs, SQ-EX can fix all at the same time.

Separated Maintenance -

When problem occurs, SQ-EX must separate fix.

Which one is easy to manage?

By the way, you have to think about number of staffs in company and also the cost. There are many factors in Business. Business is important, Customer Service is also important. But It's about Management. If you think your idea is better or you can do better, why don't you run your own company? I guess I will see "RED" in your balance sheet. lolz

I really don't get folks who get upset over these things. I mean, don't you have another MMO or some other game to spend some time with? That's what I usually do whenever a long maintenance takes place

oh please we put up with 24 hour maintance before on ff11 and it was not a issue why should it be a issue doing 10 hour maintance during proime time Australian and NZ dealt with all the time for the western mmos so why should the U.S. be treated any different for a japan mmo i'm sorry but as much as we have screw the Australians and NZ with maintance be done during their prime time i have no issues with this go outside for a walk

ITT: People want SE to work 24/7 and waste massive amount of time and money just so Americans can play a video-game on one evening.

[Froippi]

i think the maintance time is fine where it si though

[Gramul]

ITT: People want COMPANY to work 24/7 and waste massive amount of time and money just so Americans can play a video-game on one evening.

Welcome to the video game industry.

How interesting from SWToR which cried and cried about its odd and long maintenance times that ruined prime time in many time zones until F2P created its new and unhealthy community, FFXIV now has one thread about it. How annoying. No one does anything different. Just me me me mentalities. Sad really.

Though I really shouldn't care. At least the complainers have more motivation to play now than I do.
