Another 8hr are you serious? They have MASSIVE memory leaks in the server code.

For me an a lot of other 'paying' customers it is not 8 hours - it is 1 full day. 2 hours people can deal with, but 8 hours is incompetent. No business in their right mind would shut down 1 full day. We all understand there needs to be maintenance, but take into account a global market.

Meh, i've had worse in F2P company crap.

EU players.

All the EU players get screwed everytime the server goes down. Servers only come back up at 6pm - 8pm for most eu players depending on where you are. Its really not cool that they always do it during prime time for the eu community.

I dont mind patches to address issues, but they really should split the downtime between EU and US.

As an EU based person the only downtime that wasn't during my normal working day was the one on Saturday, for all the others I've been at work when they're happening. I'm beginning to think I'm somehow unique in this going to work during the day thing.

Shift work. It's not always from 0800 to 1600.

Here is +2GMT and 8hrs maintance game is playable at 4-5AM! So it is outrageous for eu players... I have time to play only at days when my kids are in school. Call me racist but US players don't wan't to understand EU players at all. This game NEEDS to have different schedule for maintance for EU players. This one is dumb. Cheerios.

I'm pretty sure they're more referencing when they took down the game on a *********** Saturday night/Sunday morning with no immediate/emergency reasoning.

If it were just once a week, that'd be fine. That'd be expected. But it has been constantly twice or more per week since launch. Trust me, people who work till midnight and would like to play during the night have seen it.

I get that feeling too.

It's like primetime in US is 7PM-12PM, but primetime in EU is 8AM-6PM.

I am german and I am pretty fine with the downtimes. Sure it is down from 9am to 5pm but guess what, I have a job so it is not that relevant. And if I have vacation? I clean my flat, read a book, do something creative.
Seriously people, don't be so dependant on a video game!

Ah - forum - forgot the ranting:
@OP: server code? when where you last decompiling a game server system from witch you only have the client? Are...are you a wizard?
@all downtime complaintants: you habe seriously no idea about server setup and maintenance for a constantly running structure with thousands of client accounts. I do. It is fine as it is.
