Of course I'm still bitter from when you announced maintenance, canceled it then had it the next day.

That was two days straight I didn't get to play....



Already considering canceling, I can deal with 2am maintenance but I don't even get home and chance to sit down till 10-11ish.


Come and live in the UK... Server maint started 8AM GMT and will finish 4PM GMT...

I'm sure you can live with it happening once a week.

2 days straight of not being able to play... due in part to your own scheduling/life woes. Clearly time to cancel, but only after starting a thread to complain first.

Of course you can live with it, but the point is that it shouldn't even be happening. 'Thou shalt have Universal Downtimes' is not one of the ten commandments.

Whatever you do - don't play MMOs then.

The work and maintenance involved is alot.... by all means your time off is nothing.

But if your that on the fence about things and a FIX or UPDATE causes you to leave then leave now.

You will not like future patches, changes, expansions, etc..

But like I said... avoid MMO's all together.. WoW .. all of them are bad and will make you quit as you stated lol.

I agree with the OP.

I can play this game Monday thru Thursday from approximately 10:30PM to 2am. So between scheduled maintenance and the occasional hotfix that means that one and sometimes 2 of my 4 nights each week are cut short by at least half.

The downtime consistently cheats west coasters. So it would be nice if they simply rotated their down times slightly to spread out the impact.

Is this down time going to remain the same when Oceanic servers launch?

This is not a small issue for the, admittedly, small group it affects.

The world can't revolve around everyone. Someone's gonna be left out, sorry west-coasters.
