Why would you schedule server maintenance during Prime time hours???

Let's hope SE isn't as bad at business as you would be. "Don't like our maintenance times? Tough, move to our country". You know what most customers response would be? I think I''ll just spend my money elsewhere. Which might be what ends up happening.

"Oh noes I can't play for a couple of hours this evening! Better complain on the forums and then leave for another game".
Let's be honest here. If this was the case many games would've had a major drop in players over the years.
Players learn to deal with it. If you refuse to, that's your problem.

Yes, it is because it is a Japanese company. This game was, initially, made for the Japanese people. Also, though, since the Japanese servers can be played on by those of us not in Japan, I think it's a type of fairness. If one set of servers can't play, then neither can the others. It's only two hours...at least it's not 8.

I also agree with Remilia. It is not just us 'NA customer base' that is getting it, it is the whole customer base, including Europe.

The funny thing is, it was the NA servers that got overloaded with too many players and crashed, not the Japanese, so which do you think is the larger player base?

No, they were the EU/NA servers. Not the NA servers.

And yes, I'm going to bitch about it until US people realize they are not at the center of the universe :P

The EU/NA are all physically located in Montreal, so Canada is the center of the universe.

Scientifically speaking.... Yes, I am the center of the my universe....as is everyone else from their perspective

Not really. I figure this maintenance has more to to do with character creations, if you've been watching the notices about it, you'll see that the NA and JP data centers have alternated between "mostly x's" and the last notice showed all the JP servers clear.

If they do something about the hackmovers I'll be impressed.

Yea, they are also some of the biggest whiners right now. Pretty sure most of us will get over only two hours of lost play time, though.

Its only 2 hours stop crying

Because they obviously don't give a shit about US players.
