Im more than happy to accept that im from the UK and play on an east coast server, I understand that my maintanence times will and should be on their schedule. i want to play with my guild etc so this i accept.
But i also play on EU servers with my brothers and a few mates from round here and if we have time to play all together which is rare it can and has been affected by the inconsiderate downtimes.
Yes there are americans and others who play on the Eu servers and live their lives to that time zone. they have a right to be pissed off as well.
They let us choose the servers by area so why not downtime by area?
The thing that pisses most people off i suspect is the lack of communication.
I wasnt even aware of this till i come to log on this morning and cant. I then go to forums and find out posting has been disabled. Great so now we can only sit and wait for a post at god knows when about if and when it will come up. Maybe i would like to discuss something unrelated to downtime but cant do that cause they have shut it down.
They annouce things via twitter? i dont bloody read twiiter when playing or trying to find updates that should be on the main site. same for facebook. The lack of contact and unwillingness to engage with the community is whats doing this game in.
I hope they sort this out as its putting off alot of EU players
