I only get a few hours to play in the evening, all other MMO's wait till 2am before kicking on the maintenance.

I haven't had a chance to play in 3 days, first chance I get and the servers going at 12am?

If that's not going to change I have no reason to continue subbing.
Stop talking out of your rear end, you don't care where the game is based, you only care that your precious non-peak gaming time is being eaten into. Someone has it far worse than you and all you can say is basically deal with it?

Hows about this; the time isn't changing, if you wish to whine any more about it then you can go sit you in the corner for the next half hour where you can think about your actions.

I'm sorry that your frustrated and hope you don't unsubscribe because of your disappointment.
Lol don't get me started when the Maintenance ends, and all HNMs pop on Japanese time(endgame stuff for those who didn't play ffxi)
Those who seek attention and post they are unsubbing are much like wailing babies wanting attention.

But since we are making juvenile poorly thought out declarations as fact here's mine, You don't matter to anyone, sorry.
You have no right to complain, sorry. The servers go down at midnight for you? Well cry me a river. They go down and are unavailable for the most of the day for europeans.

Only if you're an MMO virgin who's never played anything but WoW. Not every MMO comes down at 2am.

Really? You have a life at midnight Pacific? What is there possibly to do, even in Seattle, at midnight? You just stated that that the downtime is interfering with your play time, so you can't have much of a life if you're whining about downtime affecting it.

This is probably the only thing you've said so far that makes sense, and that's only if you live up in the mountains. Everywhere else is currently showing in the 40's.

Considering that downtime is not consistently on a nightly basis (and will become rarer the longer the game runs for) I don't see a real issue. There will always be someone impacted by downtime. If you are unfortunate enough to play in off-peak hours then sorry you'll just have to deal with it.

If this means that you feel you have to unsub because of 1 or 2 days play missed in a week then fine, go right ahead.

Don't you have euro servers on their own schedule?

Basically, yes. Or in the case of the folks from the EU, run errands, do that housework that you've put off, grouse that you're tired of freezing to death and moan about spring not being here and clearing snow from the non-essential areas that you put off. Always something that needs doing and then you can game guilt-free when servers are up!

Plenty of things to do and I learned years ago that grumbling about downtime didn't accomplish a thing.

That said, it would be nice if there could be US downtime, EU downtime and Asia downtime but I can see flaws in that as well.

So, back to just sucking it up.

The weather was easy. I live near Seattle. Since I had the news on while I was writing the post, it wasn't hard to see the weather for the region.

Wasn't a troll at all, to be honest. I live in the same area he's QQing about. Just pointing out that unless he's one of Jerry's Kids, he's not special at all.
