10pm downtime? Really?

For those moaning that it wasn't three days notice. You are the reason that the devs are very reticent about mentioning even the slightest information. They don't want to let us know the slightest tid-bit until it's set in stone because if there is the tiniest irrelevant change there is the end of the world uproar.

Sickening really.

Also for reference, a day isn't always 24 hours. It changes on daylight savings for a start. Then there are business days, those vary dramatically and don't include weekends.
In fact technically there aren't even 365 days a year. There are 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds. A calendar day isn't quite the same as a solar day. This is why we have leap years.

On that note look at months, even though you pay by the month there aren't a set number of days or hours in them. Sometimes it's 31, sometimes it's 30 sometimes it's 28. Then with the aforementioned leap years it's 29. Should we get all of our collective knickers in a bunch because we pay less for a leap year February than a normal February?

Some might say this is too pedantic. That is in fact correct. Because IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER! YOU MOANING <expletive deleted>.

Besides I'm going on the timing scale created in my head. I had 4,236 Verubian days notice before the patch so na na na boo boo.

Sigh, you wanted the release date now you have it now you QQ about downtime

when does it stop

I love the new time and hope it stays like this for future maintenances, so europeans don't lose the whole damn day.

Personally I prefer the randomness of it all... maintenance, patching, game updates... lets have it all random... the anarchy seems to bring out the best in the ME ME ME crowd and with it sooo much coke and popcorn drama... it makes me feel I'm at the comedy club getting real value for my hard earned coin.
