Who made this terrible decision?

So funny, first the Americans crying, then the EU laughing saying they get the shaft when they do NOT.
I am an Aussie, the last 7 hour maintenance went off for me at 6PM in Queensland, every maintenance is 8-9pm our time, 10am in England all in the morning in the EU while most are at work.
Neither of you 2 regions get screwed, we do, ALWAYS peak time maintenance, and at least you get your own servers, the Asia servers are being shut down, all 3.

Its always someones prime time, yet everyone it happens to acts like Bioware came to their house kicked in the door spat in the faces while smashing their computer

Servers going down at prime playing time for maintenance and update? Yet another reason other mmo's *cough*WoW*cough* have thrived on the subscription model ... they realize not to take the servers offline during prime time. What an incredibly bad decision... I actually called the first few people who told me the servers were going down in 90 minutes trolls because I mean really ... how stupid does a company have to be to take their game down for prime hours?

I'm not sure what I find most amusing... that people are defending a prime-time downtime for where (presumably) the majority of the playerbase resides (aside from Eastern MMO's, the US is pretty much the vast majority of mmo players afaik. There was actually a very long and detailed research project that someone did over the course of years ... should be easy to google if you're actually interested in all the breakdown of mmo players and such)

OR

That people actually believe the patching will go off without a hitch and servers will actually be up for a Midnight (PDT) / 3am (EDT) launch.

It's always prime play time somewhere. Stop being so self-centered.

This time, EU catches a break. As an American, I am fine with that. And I'll be enjoying early access... EARLY.

They have computers in Australia?
