Type of Maintenance - Notice on website

Usually they do these Maintenances at night... When everyone is suppose to be sleeping..... So I don't see why we need these notifications. All games do it. And it more smooth and it does not interupt the peak time of gameplay.

The United States isn't the only country with access to Pirates. PNC has someone in Europe, and SS has someone from Iceland. These areas are many hours ahead of us. When we are sleeping, there are people from other countries playing.

MAJORITY of the game's players are in the United States. So the other hemisphere must deal with it untill the game makes a server for them that fits their time. I don' think they would do these notifications for that tiny percentage of players. So right now they base the down times in the United States for that majority amount of players.

Almost every MMO makes their update time PDT.

As long as they put an east server, that's okay, but as of now, there is no such thing.

@The text in yellow:

These noficiations would be so short, anyone could type them up less than 2 minutes.

Look at the examples above. That's all they would have to say. If it is a game content update, they would just post the release notes after the patch has completed.

I sent feedback in twice about this already. Hopefully they implement it.

They don't always do their updates at night.

Sometimes they release small content during the afternoon.

They don't have to create a "Planned ahead of time" notice on the website right away if they need to bring the servers down for Emergency Maintenance. They could have someone who works on the website post it minutes after or something.

At least we would know, and the developers aren't leaving us in the dark.
