Please consider changing downtime to GMT 5AM.
Justification:
Just about Every company that I worked for in IT required us to reboot servers during NON Production hours, usually anywhere from 12AM-6AM.
Thank you.

And require the poor server guys to be up at work at 5AM?
You'd have a strike on your hands!

Downtime is at this time for a reason.
It has been this way for two years.
A forum post is not going to change this.
Sorted.

But this game is played by people all over the world. So, someone will always be inconvenienced to a degree. I think it's fine the way it is.
...meh, but what do I know.

I must apoligize to the Developers and Server Admins of EVE for suggesting such a foolish thing. It was only a suggestion, please dont take away my ships and isk! 
I retract my original suggestion and beg they dont accidently kill my character.
But Verone, you really are a troll. Bounty is being placed for your comments 'Sorted'
Cya!

the only ones really nerfed by the current times are those of us in the australian - new zealand timezones ie 7pm - 8pm or 9pm - 10pm and for NZ - 11pm-12 midnight.
If they get more chinesse players then the same thing applies similar to aussie timezones.
Rest of the world are fine though

Erm there is no non production hours, this game is probably played by someone in every time zone. So no matter what time downtime is, it will be at the wrong time for a certain group.
If your in the UK, go have lunch, browse the forums and the server will be back up :D
p.s, its not unusual for the server to be back up after alot less than an hour, if im around I tend to check it after 30 min.

I live in the UK too and Monday to Friday I am at work so it does not bother me but when I want to play at the weekend the downtime always seems to happen just when I am getting somewhere . . .
Earlier would be better . . .

Its done based on time un the uk since the servers are in london, and im sure if the downtime went wrong, who would be in the office to fix it?

Downtime was chosen based on activity, I believe. For the largest part of EVE's playerbase (not counting the chinese, who are apparantly going to invade EVE and form a colony of the PRoC... in space), 11-12gmt is either in the middle of the night, or noon. And last I checked, a vast majority have something called school, work and/or sleep.

Umm..
There is such thing as Out of Hours support you know. The suggestion is not all that bad you know.I towuld be more the possible to put a OOO team in place for downtime to be in the early morning here in the U.K
But it would cost CCP a penny or two...
Why don't you take out a contract with Fujitsu to support an OOO team that could monitor and sort out the downtime early in the morning :p That way if you agree a SLA you will be able to getsome money back everytime they mess it up :D

There's less players on around 12pm eve time because of downtime, not the other way around.
I bet if you left the servers on now 24 hours a day that the quietest time would no longer be 11am, but more like 9am eve time.
Also, just you wait til some more Asians get on, we're a bit screwed atm because it falls at 7pm our time which is just bloody useless. If you want Asians to join the fun, the DT needs to move back 1h or 2h otherwise they'll lose paitence.

Why is it necessary to run downtime every day? |

IMO the current choice is a good one. Europeans are at work/school. North Americans are leaving for work, just waking up or still asleep, and the only people really hurt by it are the Aussies (isn't it like 2000-2100 there?)
OTOH, 0500GMT downtime would hit peak gaming hours in North America, since that would be 0000 eastern time and 2100 west coast time. Not to mention it would make the server guys irate

I remember a dev posting that this "might" change to weekly in the future but that was about 2 years ago. But then again at that time CCP had memory leak problems and people getting stuck all the time, and the only way to "release" them was a server reboot.
Remember the "Don't go to Amarr Prime, we are having problems with the jump gates." kind of messages ? And then 45 minutes later "Dear players, the server will be going down in 10 minutes for a quick reboot.", and the the message "Please cancel any stuck petitions you have if you are no longer stuck. Thank you". Ah, those were the times 
But now I think it has something to do with letting the devs apply "server hot fixes", tweaking things and doing server H/W maintenance.

Because CCP is not filthy rich and doesnt have the best server structure, as anyone in a fleet battle can attest to :)

That's no fair Eris. Verone wants to have my babies and now it looks like he wants yours.
I will not share Verone with anyone!
