Hi,

I understand the need to update and maintain the software and hardware. However, in my time zone (U.S. Eastern Time zone), I only have two times per day to play eve: right around currently scheduled DT and after work. CCP's recurring and extended DT's, at the same time each day, unduly harm players in similar situations.

Solution: why can't CCP either put their "A" team on maintenance to make it go faster; or if they already do and it just takes them a long time to perform the necessary tasks, can't they at least alternate with another timeslot and spread the pain around?


Thank you

Go read a book or something instead.

Also, obvious troll is obvious.

Server maintenance takes as long as it takes. Especially with a system as complex as Eve's. They're not exactly changing the oil in a Ford here. Just be glad you aren't Austrailian. They have to deal with downtime during their primetime - every day.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.
