The server is always down between 11am ant 1pm GMT for server work this is one of the best timees to play STO in the UK but its usually down hows about choosing 11am - 1pm PST for a change
Because doing it at this time affects a smaller player base. If they did it at 11am PST they'd afftect more of the players, so obviously they're going to choose to do the maintenance when there are less people online. Its all about the numbers, least thats the way I understand it.
It's only down at those times to jusify thier wages, if it was done when the least amount of people are on, lets say during the week when people are working, that would be better for everyone. But on a Sunday?
A smaller player base ?
U say that even though it topped the UK charts.
I dont see that happening US side !
So think about it, why would it top the UK and not the US charts? Possibly because the US is larger and has a larger player base meaning there number would be bigger than the UK. It would be easier for it to top the UK charts than it would the US because the UK has a smaller population and smaller number buying games.
OR you could show a little understanding that when ever there is a "Schedualed" weekend maintance it is always in a prime time for us Europeans. How hard would it be to make the maintance 2 hours earlier so that it is 1AM-3AM PST (Hardly prime time) and 9AM-11AM GMT not great but ALOT better than 11AM-1AM)
Oh noes! Another thread to go with the other 32,491 others like this!
"Search" is your friend.
Nee Naaw Nee Naaaw Nee Naaw.......here come the Forum Police! I didn't think they worked Sundays but they obviously have a few threads to jump in on and moan about. Didn't you people know that it is against the law to post something that has ever been mentioned before.....EVER?
Listen to the Forum Police.....if you don't they'll come to your house and wash your filthy keyboard out!

"A prime time"?
So now you have multiple?
Do you make them up on the fly to suit your needs?
Prime time is evenings, usually from 5pm-7pm to 1am-2am.

Prime time is evenings, usually from 5pm-7pm to 1am-2am.
On a Sunday pre-Sunday lunch (roughly 1/2 PM) is a prime time for most MMO player, in the UK at least, and as you rightly say 5PM to about 12Am is another.
And where are you getting till 2 in the morning being Prime time thats morehard core gamers that are desperate not to go to sleep (ie me)
But even given your deffinition of prime time the idea of doing the maintanance 2 hours earlier would not cause the US any problems and WOULD make things better in Europe, so wheres the problem?
That's prime TV time which is completely different.
No... it's the time of the day people sit down to be entertained. It's when the majority of people are home from work and school and have settled in for the evening, until the go to bed.
And in actuality, "television" primetime doesn't go as late as "gaming" primetime since so many gamers squeeze in that extra hour or two at the cost of sleep. Even when I was in high school I'd be up to 1am-2am playing video games.

So is it ending at your early finish of primetime REALY be that big a problem as opossed to say right in the middle of the European Weekend primetime (yes these time WILL change depending on what day it is as prooven by the mass of Europeans that complain about this issue)

It is like your computer, if it doesn't get restarted, it tends to perform less optimal...
ok?
And...?
That doesn't mean there are more European players than North American players.
This is the thread from last week.. they closed it for some strange reason.

21 pages of rage and you still dont realise that sunday is a BAD to do **** like that.. especially since it lasted for almost 3 hours last week.

Bit of a daft thing to say, It could well have been the top seller in San Marino but does that mean there are more users there than the US?
Yea, i wonder why they closed it. It couldnt have anything to do with yoru abusive language and trolling in it huh. /facepalm
Yea because closing down the server at weekend euro primetime does not call for abusive language /facepalm right back at you ignorant fool.
Oh and btw.. do you even know what trolling means? go look it up.

They could take them down 11 - 1 GMT on any day Mon - Fri and that would affect a lot less players.

Well you've come in here and posted in the thread so it wasn't completely useless was it? Get over yourself!
I agree....The weekends are bad since the majority of your players are 20 to 45 and work during the week so the weekends are our getaway.
Ever occur to Cryptic that weekends are busy times for us working class?
Get it together guys!
