Thread: server maintance

  1. #1

    Default server maintance

    is evony USA bias,server maintance is always done to favour the USA they get more build time than the rest of the world!
    please discuss

  2. #2

    Default

    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.

    Edit: if you want Evony to be bias on your side, have the entire population of your country play Evony!
    Nothing you said there was funny at all.

    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.
