Can't agree more. Some of us have 9-5 jobs (and longer with commuting) and only have time in the evenings. Please, please, please can we have downtime at a more "sensible" time?

I can only repeat myself: NEVER EVER do a server upgrade in the evening again. There are times like 3am when nobody plays. And you have a time window of 4-5 hours easy, more likely there won't be many people wanting to play till around noon.

Understand what youre saying but frankly we dont pay them enough to work at 3am in the morning!!

Could do with a post with some idea of whats happening though.

Loads of admins that do 24/7 support work for a normal sallery. Its just a matter of shifts. If the developers themselves have to do these upgrades though, hmmm that would be a concept I don't understand.

And there has to be some 24/7 admin on this type of game I'm sure of that.

So why not do it at a quite time like very early morning. Will anger a lot fewer customers.

Maybe my customers are just spoiled. When i do their firewall upgrades at time where the least people need them.

Nice to see patch notes, but why post them several hours before the patch ?
The lucky harvesters who were privy to the information above and who were able to play during the time between the patch notes being posted and the server coming down, ran straight to the roots and stockpiled as many mats as they possibly could !
(I realise that the patch notes were first posted on the German boards by an over-eager CSR, but someone must have authorised it.)

The damage by making those resources accessible easily in the first place was done already anyhow. So I don't see the major deal about 1-200 more resources floating around for a while. They will eventually be depleted as well and hopefully not be restockable soon or at all.

Yes i agree. My point was more about early release of patch notes, this was just an example of why it isnt a good idea.

Does this mean the broken pre-order items will now disappear as mine has 0/150 HP?
