Server Maintenance During Peak Time

[Bernie]

Time and time again there are planned server maintenance's during peak hours in the NA/EU server cluster.

Why would SE choose to do this over and over? Every other MMO has always done these types of things in the wee hours of the morning. It is extremely frustrating that this continues to be an issue. Emergencies- understandable...but multiple planned downtime during peak time is unacceptable.

Is this due to arrogance? Monetary constraints? I am failing to understand how this can keep happening. Run the numbers...bring down the servers in off hours.

Thanks for reading.

You know... Morning for EU's will be Night for US's...
Afternoon for EU's will be Morning for US's...
It will always affect someone's prime time lol.

Should just make a sticky so everyone has one place to whine about the maintenance time.

I doubt EDT/EST people make up 97% of their customer base.

Square Enix is a Japanese company. How do you think WoW players in Europe, Australia, and other parts of the world have felt about their maintenance for the past 9 years? America is not the center of the world, deal with it.

Not saying that this is strictly speaking about "MY TIME". I am saying that this time spread across all time zones is an unfavorable time. Like I said, run the numbers.
