I was wondering why on earth PWI decided to updated servers in peak playtime? Surely waiting for 12 hours would have no effect for them but would not deprive players of weekend playtime.
Just curious.

    And they needed to change for DST. A.S.A.P. Else things would get a little messy...

    The time that was chosen for this weeks maintenance was mainly due to the timing of the actual Daylight Savings switch. This time also happens to not coincide with our most busy time of day.

    It's a global game, not only for america. 1-2am pst is like 10am for us in europe... You deciding to make that patch at that time is pretty good.

    While a global game it is, the time chosen for the update is the time when the least amount of players are online. Europeans are unfortunately left with boredom in their mornings... but it makes the most people happier at this time.

    The servers are based in the United States, so although it is hosted to a global community, times are going to be taken into acount from their timezone. You can never please everybody =(
