People tend to play in the morning, even if it's just to log on and send out a few farm attacks.
People tend to play after work/school
People tend to play late in the evening.
America is the #1 market for Evony players(like most MMO's)
Europe is the #2 market (also, like most MMO's)
The 4ish time for maintenance has the benefit of not interrupting any of these 3 major play times for either of those two markets. It is the middle of the night for America, and the middle of the work/school day for Europe.
If they move it back to be the middle of the night for Europe, then they interrupt America's evening play. If they move it forward to the middle of America's work/school day, then they interrupt Europe's evening play.
The current time of 2ish to 4ish server time is really the best choice. With any worldwide game that crosses time zones, there will never be a perfect time.
server maintenance is a big headache for me. I hate this thing :dizzy:
well evony has got its time zones wrong its always before i go work and effects my builds!
how about varying to be more they might catch a few more botters!
i am in the uk maintance happens between 6.30am and 10.30am over here normally around 8.00am so if that not bias i dont know what is as 6.00am is 0.00 server time!
The time is arbitrary.
If 00:00 server time was midnight GMT, instead of 6am, that would not change when the American players lof in. If 00:00 server time was midnight GMT, instead of 6am, then maintenance time would be 10ish.
slightly off topic, but i cant get back on rapier, it went of for maintenance at 0600 today and there is a little brown circle in the rapier choice where all the other severs are blue, can anyone shed some light please.
rapier: its in maintance.
