The servers(not just U.S.,this also applies to the Euros to, though i think this has been happening in their late night) have already been taken down 2 times this week for reasons that could have waited until latenight or very early morning hours (when server populations were lowest), to be done.The servers have been down between 8-10 est/5pm-7pm pst both nights and this is a very big interuption on ALOT of our playtimes.This would have been fine in beta but now that we're paying for this, i expect primetime hours to be open and undisturbed by downtime unless an absolute emergency.

If any Devs do read this, kindly pass this on to the people responsible for server downtime and kindly remind them that these times they've been "restarting servers" and "patching" is unacceptable.Please schedule things like this for times other than the times when most people are playing.

Here's a more equitable idea.

Schedule downtime to offset by one hour each time the servers have to go down. That way, everyone *worldwide*, will get downtime in both peak and off peak times. This way it is equitable for all...

The game is still in "initial" phase....it's going to happen. Something big comes up, the servers will come down regardless of the time of day.

Usually this means you can blame someone exploiting a bug...not the devs that want to minimize the damage from said exploit.

We are still in development so things like this will happen. Prolly 6 months down the road they will be more apt to schedule accordingly

I say take them down as much as needed. I don't care if they are down for a week, just patch the hell out of it.

I imagine Sigil never wants to bring the server's down during the peak time but some things are unavoidable and it must be done. It is not the worst thing that can happen. Remember it is a game and should be treated as such, dont stress so much about it.
