What's up with NCsoft platform maintenances? Last 5 or so have all been during EU evening / primetime. Did you forget you have customers outside of US too? This latest maintenance will start at 15:00 for me and last supposedly until 21:30.
 
Is it really impossibru to start them a bit earlier so you don't screw up EU afternoon / evening every single time?

			They are based in the US, what ever time they pick it will inconvenience someone. It's easier to do it at the times they do currently because they are awake and not in bed.

The real question is, will I stay logged on and able to post? Because otherwise I might have to pay attention at work and that would be turrible.
 
Edit: looks that way... *rubs hands together* ok time to make some off topic posts to drive the moderators nuts. (Kidding!)

I just have to say.... I totally called this back in March: https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/123326-ncsoft-account-maintenance-is-this-normal/
 
The constant account maintenance by NCSoft is related to the transition to F2P. They have to rework the entire system, implement a cash shop, and all that jazz.

NCSoft isn't doing stuff to their backend and Auth servers now, for a Wildstar transition in 3-4 months. Having games with cash shops is nothing new for them, and they'll do the changeovers when the code is tested and ready.

I'm of the side that it has more to do with the transition. Wildstar is not he only game that has or will be in need of it as well. I've received emails this year regarding migration of accounts(particularly Lineage) and it sounds to me like they're trying to or are planning to align and prepare for future implementation of account and game aspects. GW2 is to my understanding self-suffecient in it's own right and I don't recall or think they go down as often because they are on their own servers separate form that of many of NCsofts other games.
 
Due to the omnibits and Ncoin thing I'm quite sure that if anything they're most likely tinkering with accounts becoming more "globally" NCsoft accounts i general...BnS later t come, the recent lineage account changes, and WS's incoming transition to F2P along with possible other games on the table we don't know of.
 
I'm probably not explaining it as well as I understand it to potentially be, but that's where I stand.
