Scheduled maintenance was considerate of European players?

Starting the 7 hour maintenance at 2.00am CST means that European subscribers lose out on a entire daytime of playing (8.00am GMT - 3.00pm GMT).

Why not put US players on US servers and European players on European servers?  Oh wait, they did that already but failed to change the maintenance window, grrrrr...........


European subscribers, second-class citizens again.

you could hide your companion's headgear in addition to your own. Poor Mako has to go helmetless 'cos I like gazing upon her beauteous countenance.

It would be more great if there was an option to lower the hoodie on your chest piece so I can gaze on my beauteous hair!
I think that's coming in 1.2 though :)

What I'd like to know, is what on earth takes 7 hours to complete. I can't think of a single 'maintenance' procedure that would take that long, what the hell are they playing at?

That one's easy!

None of the maintenance tasks last 7 hours, it actually takes just 30 minutes, but they expect each engineer to do 14 realms each as they're too cheap to pay for them to all be done at once.

Wouldn't it be great if you could talk to the support guys to get your security key removed whilst the servers are down ... oh it takes their tools offline too. Great.

They're just like motorway maintainence workers. Shutting down miles of the stuff for no good reason AND have the nerve to be on a tea break 90% of the time.
