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

No they are leaving the game. They are not renewing their subs.
Have you looked at the ques lately? Very few are high..most are all standard or light now.

They are failing...

Planed maintenance is an industry norm and accepted. Every 2 days is just stupid
Except it's NOT every two days. It's usually twice a week, one 8hr maintenance and one 4hr "emergency".

Pretty sure they keep servers down this long just to keep costs down. In Rift a weekly patch would mean maybe an hour downtime?

You had better get a handle on this fast.

This is completely unacceptable.
So, wait, you're simultaneously complaining that they have bugs, *and* that they take a regularly scheduled maintenance to fix them?

Make up your mind.

Incidentally, if they had memory leaks in the server code, you'd probably never know about it.

I still want to know how the morning is peak time for EU players....I'd rather have the mait from 8:00am to whenever. I usually play till 4 or 5 am. Point is just because the time sucks for you doesn't mean it sucks for everyone. Most people are at work at that time-not everyone. But the time will always be bad for someone. It sucks for you, ok then go play something else or go outside, or make friends w/e.

8hr down times are not bad they keep people from dying from playing to much.
Everyone makes a mistake sometime, I'll be there when you make yours.

Fix stuff, people aren't happy.
Don't fix stuff, people aren't happy.

Oh, the launching of a new MMO. Hang in there, BW.

It really demonstrates Bioware's commitment to improving the game and supporting the community.

I think I would be more worried if no maintenance was scheduled...

Plus it give me at least one day a week when I can sleep.

1. Timing sucks for EU, especially for GMT+2
2. They need TOO MUCH time to fix SO LITTLE, that's inefficiency
3. Well known bugs that SHOULD had been easy to fix, haven't be fixed yet

You guys aren;t good at propaganda, so stop with it.
Fix stuff efficiently is what you are looking for.

Yes it is.

EVE has 30 minutes / day. But they can take cluster down if there is a problem like people get blown up by their own POS guns. And none of the players complain. It's only patch days CCP needs to be careful with things like how long it takes and how they handle possible issues after patch.

That's a fairly usual customer response. We have the same problem at work - they either complain about us pushing out updates with fixes for bugs they've reported or they complain that we haven't fixed the bugs they've reported.
