Well they certainly don't consider the EU when scheduling downtime, that much is certain. It's obvious they ONLY consider US players because the downtime happens when most of the US are asleep.
Space, is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mindbogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space...

All of the devs live in the U.S, correct? The devs are the ones that implement the patches? So you want the devs to work 24/7 during patch days?

I understand that hiring ppl for EU time zones will be optimal, but it will also take a ton of training.

Curious to all here complaining about U.S/EU time frames, did you all really sit here the FULL 4 HOURS QQ! If so, that'd be hilarious!

We have more lag, more latency, and not less disconnects leading to the char select with a broken client that requires a complete restart to get the game back into playable condition.
We all have our heroes. And when we watch them fall, we die inside...

What time do you think the US Devs currently do maintenance? I'd be happy for them to work normal hours.

and no, I post in the forums during loading screens.

Very odd that we still have no official explanation why the downtime was needed.

Communication is key with your player base!

Erm.

Dev = developer. I dont know for sure, but I doubt they actually do the server updates, they arent the manual labour techies.

Secondly, it would be impossible for everyone to have been here QQing because they shut the servers down when they do patches.

Thirdly, I didnt have anything better to do/ anywhere else to be, I had to sit through 4 hours of kids TV with my daughter.
