I'll tell you what.. just because the majority of players lives in a specific country doesn't mean that the majority will also be affected by this. usually online gaming companies know damn well how to read their logs and figure out when the best time for maintenance was (for the longest time pretty much every MMO out there did their maintenance on Tuesday, for example. then pretty much every game switched to Wednesday because WoW did their maintenance on Tuesday... this has shifted in the last couple of years, but it's still apparent that companies 'do their research')

they have the actual numbers. they know what they are doing.
