i don't know why your hung up on this 3 day thing. they never said we would get 3 days. they said 3 days would be enough. and they only said that to dispel the 2 week rumor started by trolls trying to dishearten ppl. so what they were trying to say is you have no longer than a 3 day wait for 1.2 after the release date is announced. i bet they're having a rigt old laugh at this. not in their wildest dreams could they imagine pp; would QQ about what was sposed to be a pleasant surpised

I love watching people dissect if it was 3 days notice or not... Hour by hour. Lol
That's why they call it space, cause there is so much of it.

The downtime is 8 hours, same as every other downtime. Why the early shutdown? Why move it more into primetime? Oh, and @StephenReid....3 days notice? Looks like about a 1 day notice to me, but then again, they didn't teach them new fangled math-e-ma-matics at my grade school, high school or college. I haven't read any post other then yours OP so I don't know if this was mentioned yet, but the logical reason is probably so that if it runs later then 8 hours, it's not eating too far into the morning of the 12th. 1.2 is obviously a larger patch then the ones between 1.1 and 1.2, even the ones that ran 8 hours. They are just covering their bases. Anyway, no matter what time they pick, SOMEONE will be inconveinced somewhere. I don't think their intention is to alienate anyone. :P I'm IN the Pacific timezone so I'm in one of the areas you claim will be "alienated". :P I can handle that the game will get pulled down at 10pm, and yes I often do play past 10pm Pacific time. But then again I don't assume that a MMO with a fairly large player base is going to base everything on my personal schedule and needs either.

My guess is that they are trying to leave as much room as possible for delays and potential glitches that could crop up. Shutting down a little "early" is way more preferrable than the PR backlash if the game were not playable by the next afternoon. This gives them time for a second shot if there is a big problem.
