Shutup, Ill tell you why
It's a conspiracy. DT = 1 hour per day.. x 30 days in a month = 1 full day of Nonplayable Game time.
That's right, CCP is stealing a day of game time you paid for every month!

And perhaps you would like to tell me what are they gaining from "stealing" one hour of your gaming time each day?

Hamsters have to be fed. In fact, we should try two downtimes a day to see if it makes them more energetic!

Because TomB always enjoyed torturing players, and they never got around to abolishing his whimsical policies?
No wait, it's because the server handles hundreds of thousands of accounts interacting with a vastly complicated single-shard universe comprising among other things a gargantuan economic simulator and storing and transmitting staggering amounts of data around the world. I needs maintenance for between 30 and 60 minutes every day... learn to live with it.

Fixed for you, unless you happen to be from another planet. In which case, take me to your leader.

The downtime is to deal with technical problems they are unable to deal with otherwise. As this is a product that is always in development, you have the option to not play at all until this issue is resolved.

I think the OP posted this with humour in mind.
But I'd personally take 1 hour of downtime every day, rather than 7 hours once per week. :)

Considering the reliance on SQL Server, I'd imagine running 'UPDATE STATISTICS' whilst the World was active would have unfortunate side-effects.

Sort of like how certain governments steal an hour of your day in spring and give it back in fall. What have they been doing with that hour? They had it for half the year. Just think of the profit they could have made off of that hour in all that time. And you don't see a bit of it!

A vid of someone pooing in a bottle without missing might almost be worth watching, but perhaps more suitable for /b/

Sshhhhh.... CCP is clearly in league with these nefarious governments, and wouldn't hesitate to sell you out to their secret police. CCP watches.

Judging by OP's post time, OP is not American. And Downtime is not at 5AM for everyone. e.g. Aussies, who have DT at about 7-8pm IIRC.

OP has clearly discovered our super secret evil plans. Joking aside, some of the comments above explained why daily DT is necessary to keep Tranquility running. *click*
