what again they really need to do something about these US maintenance times I would have thought the entire point of having a EU division was so that you could better schedule things.
[/ QUOTE ]
I concur.
It is one thing to have patches like this but I am playing on a EU server and I expect EU friendly maintenance times. If they cna tgive us that, then I want to have the US benefits. More people, more servers, a forum that devs read etc.

The publish/build deployment was planned for today, but I had scheduled it an hour earlier than the North American window, so as not to run into the EU prime-time hours.
The latest patch (Build 18.20090422.5T) contained Mission Architect changes, and due to the global nature of the system, we have to keep both regions in sync..., hence the simultaneous publish.
The other option was to delink EU from the global Mission Architect system, but much like the Global Consignment House/Black Market houses, I don't think that would go over too well.
When a new build is deployed that is not Mission Architect dependent, the normal early EU publish windows will most definitely be adhered to.
I've spoken to the Community team, and we'll make sure that any planned build deployments to the Live servers will be posted on the Server Status page.
My apologies that this particular publish had not been communicated earlier or more visibly.

Thanks for the post, does actually mean a lot to us when someone comments on it.
However this has happened a few times in the past few weeks with little [30 mins?] or no notice at all. Understand where you are coming from in that it needs to be done globally, just hope you can see it from our perspective 
Some of us (namely me 
) can only play either early morning or late afternoons so it cuts into my playtime though i know you look at the bigger picture, i wanna feel special!!!

What sort of info? If you could tell us, it means we'd know what not to ask about.

I can't give any hints...Our Marketing/PR departments would pummel me..., and then Positron would probably follow up with an "Enervating Field+Radiation Infection+Lingering Radiation+Aim+Proton Volley" combo on me.

More of a sound and light show associated with it too, rather than just a groan, crossing of eyes and collapse to the floor in a heap.

Psygon, me thinks we have another cutification required
Either that or given the wealth of artistic talent we have over here, maybe someone would do a commission for you? Give the winner a nice orange title for their account, like "Ghost Falcon PR Officer" or something and a month of free game time?
Thoughts? (sorry to hijack the thread btw *ahem*)

I heard that all that really happens in scheduled server maintenance is ghosty enhancing the hamsters - so always sell endreds/endmods/attack rate and run speed to ghost falcon. Avoid selling dmg and taunt or the hamsters end up fighting in vicious HvH battles until the server needs unscheduled maintenance to sort everything out.

Maybe i'm reading all this wrong, or maybe daily means something else in the US, but for me, daily means daily, like every day!?
That can't be right can it? maint patch from 1-3pm every day?
[/ QUOTE ]
It is a reserved time for them to do that, if they need to. The idea is that people should really assume the worst (it would happen every day) and it not, it would be a bonus.
Personally I do not have a problem with this time, since I am at work anyway. I am quite sure when they decided on maintenance windows for MA they looked at times where the global playerbase would be affected the least.
