I´m from Europe but I pay my Money as well as every others here. I simply dont understand the logic in make the maintenance work for the Servers on Sunday. Yes, in US most of the gamers are sleeping but here in Europe that is the best time. I know that it is difficult to make it right for everyone. Let me make one simply suggestion. Do the maintenance on Monday between 3 and 5 not on Sunday. As like me most of the European players will be at work or at school at that time and not have to be patient!
An other suggestion is, give us here in Europe an Discount for playtime we lost!! ;-) or an European server were you can do your maintenance work on Sunday 3-5 CET!!!
I guess the subscriber amount will decrease very fast. I am from europe too and will cancel my subscription (which is very high for a game in this developmentstate) after the free month (or some month later after i have realized that the problems wont be fixed, and i know that its not very smart from my side to wait this wasted time only to make sure that they will fail).
Its not very smart from cryptic to handle the customers the way they do. A lot of MMORPGS did it the same way and this did not last very long. Launch way to soon and a lot of mistakes more i should be payed from cryptic for to tell them about. This whole business is far to strong driven by money. No fun for the customers...
Yet another MMORGP which will die sooner than later. What a pitty....

They are asking the servers to handle something they just aren't good enough to do. You will have problems constantly until one of two things.
1. The subscriber base drops off so dramatically that the servers enter their element of which they were designed for...limited stress.
2.Cryptic stop doing bandage solutions and revamp their whole server solution.
