They are? There are 9 European servers, 3 APAC servers and 8 NA servers. Seems like you're making up facts based on what is best for you.

It's only a problem to a rare few who have complained here in the forums. and Yes I am one of the US players on Pacific time, so don't try including me inyour rant.

You are incorrect.

Try learning how time zones are calculated before you post. Eastern to Western Hemisphere would have a time zone difference, as time zones are roughly every 15 degrees longitude, starting from 0 degrees longitude (Prime Meridian, from which GMT is calculated [which got its name from the fact that the Prime Meridian passes through Greenwich, England....but I digress]).

Southern Hemisphere would have the same time as its Northern Hemisphere counterpart.
It's "elder game", guys. The day this game gets an actual "endgame" is when BW pulls the plug on the servers. MMORPGs don't have an "end".

Realise that there's more countries in the world, not just US. For Europe the maintenance time is perfect. We're sleeping during this maintenance and the expansion will be live at 8 (UK time) in the morning. About time we got a maintenance that's more suitable for us.

You other countries whine every other downtime. Go play a game from your countries, if you can find one worth playing.
If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

You can download the patch now, while the servers are still down.
