Normal maintenance downtime for Australia is around 6pm to 9pm AEST every Tuesday, but today maintenance was early (servers offline from 3pm to 6pm) which actually allows us to grab a bite to eat then sit down and enjoy the game for the rest of the night. From an Oceanic point of view, I would fully support downtime being set at this time from now onwards.
Please take this into consideration Bioware! If you're willing to move maintenance because of a Eupoean Public Holiday (for one day) how about taking into account the normal maintenance period is right in the middle of Aussie Prime Time (every Tuesday).
