as it stands now, euros get a big benefit to the server uptime cycle, sites respawn, sov upgrades respawn, ded complexes and grav sites respawn, and all convieniently at ~10AM
EVERY DAY
meanwhile, around the entire rest of the planet, north and south america is falling asleep from an allnighter, oceanic and east asian TZ are hitting midnight, and rest of russia is heading into late evening
EVERY DAY
I get that your an icelandic company, and you been doing it this way for 9 years
but you should consider that you are screwing over 75% of the earth (and probalby an even larger percentage of your playerbase) just cos thats when is convienient to you.
I suggest considering 30 hour server uptime, so the pain, and the joy, of logging in at your prime time and having all the fresh sites to yourself, can be felt by the rest of us

well they would enjoy every 3rd day when the restart happened as they walked in the door from work, unlike now when they get shafted every day

Only problem with this is that tacking on an additional 6 hours to each DT cycle will not only make it hard on CCP to manage the DT cycle (time constraints) but it will also stretch belt and sig spawns thin across Eve for those last couple hours. Even as it is now many Hi-sec systems are bone dry for ore round about the 20 hour (or less in some cases) mark. WH Corps will need to wait LONGER for downtime spawns as well. All around with the current spawn mechanics for belts and sigs it just wouldn't work well.
It would be cool, however, if there was a way for them to initiate spawns without the need for a server downtime. They were hinting at trying to eliminate daily downtimes all together and this would be a step in that direction. This would also allow them to rotate sig and belt respawns by, say, 51 minutes a day (this would mean that respawns would rotate a full 24 hours over the course of 28 days).
EDIT: This would also reduce each spawn cycle to 23:09 instead of 24 hours.
A simple way for players to keep track of this would be adding a button to the calendar which shows the next two scheduled respawn times in EVE time.
Too bad that it would be way too hard to implement on the back end for such a small pay out.
Yes, it would be cool though. |

Yea but we got to keep those mad canadians who think they're French... It would have been an even trade but we got to beat up the french again so that means we won |

How on earth do the EUTZ benefit from a downtime at 11am? I am currently sitting at work wondering how all these things respawning etc in an hour benefits me in any way.
In fact the best way to benefit the EUTZ would be to have the downtime at about 17:30 EVE time, that way it can all be up and ready just as we come home from work and have eaten a meal.

Damn rebellious former colonists , still they missed out on being able to take part in the Commonwealth Games, unlike all the other former colonists that didn't gain their independence through rebellion but through the more civilised process of negotiation.

i fail to see how having maintenance at the start of the european working day helps european players.
by the time you get home from work, most of the roid belts have been stripped of lucrative ores anyway. it's actially the gmt +5~ish players that get the benefit, not europe. Reading my posts is like panning for gold; most it will be useless, but occasionally you'll find a nugget of gold. |

OP fails to realize that downtime at the moment consistently occurs when there are the least people online in the daily cycle. It is never too late to turn from the errors of your ways: He who repents of his sins is almost innocent.

Because all site respawns revolve around downtime. One does not simply buy their way into Goonswarm. |

There are many reasons for the cycle time being what it is. One of which is that it's consistent for our server guys. Having it scheduled to go off every 30 hours would mean their schedules would get waaaay out of whack. CCP Eterne | Community Representative

To be totally fair this is a bit of a straw argument as you schedule downtime for any time during the day and it will soon become the least busy time.
OP is still wrong, but this isnt why. "If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared." - Niccolo Machiavelli |
