So I take it this much downtime isn't normal?
I just resubbed three days ago. So far 2 of those days I haven't been able to play because their down time is during my normal play time ...
No I'm not an aussie, I just work nights.

I am Australian and i have every right to *****, moan, complain, and whinge about these DT's.
Over a 48 hr period i would have played a total of 2 hours because my prime time is now.
So to all the people that share the same views as KIRRA LIU, STFU until you walk in my shoes.
I'm with you ..... I reactivated my account three days ago and have only been able to play once because of all the extended DT.

What would you have them do though Nerrollus?
Shift it to something else to appease the perhaps 20k players from AU? That would leave you angering someone else.
As much as I hate to admit it, we're the best choice for downtime because we've likely to got a much lower EVE playing population than than North/South America and Europe. Can you imagine how many yanks would be on the forums whinging if DT was shifted to their main play time? Their tears would be enough to raise the sea level -_-
No, I understand their need for maint and the time window. That's just something I've had to accept being on this schedule. My prime time is when EVERY MMO does maint. My complaint is that they're doing extended maint all the freaking time. Twice in the past three days? Ugh...

Has it ever occured to anyone on these forums, that the timing has nothing to due with ****ing the least people off, but is timed so the guys maintaining the cluster can come to work, prepare and execute DT, and are still around to fix issues during normal business hours?
And yes, 24 hours warning for an extended DT is a bit short, but I'd rather have 12 hours announcements then to live with the gate problems 1.1.1 introduced for a week just for announcement times' sake.
Makes great business sence. Screw the customer, we're doing things on our time. Makes perfect sense to me to put out 20k customers instead of making a hand full of employees come in a little early one day.

Do you honestly think that if 30%+ of the subscriber base had their prime time during the current DT that CCP would continue to do so?
yes
Man I wish my boss thought like that .... I'm always having to work Saturdays or strange hours when we're going to take our system down, and it only impacts maybe 300 people.
