Short answer: Yes, this is necessary
 
Long Answer:
 
There have been a lot of issues with the server stability and load balancing when F2P was released.
Carbine is doing their best to make sure that the game becomes playable for everyone again.
And this includes changing the hardware configurations, updating software and changing parts on their servers.
This can only be done during maintenance windows, and they have chosen to do regular maintenances at the moment to resolve the problem in small steps, and evaluate their changes.
So yes, this is annoying at the moment for people, but it's for better good.

			F2P drop was also a content drop and it's only been a week since it was released, they also still haven't completely addressed all issues related to the server (or we'd be merged back into one megaserver again). it's pretty normal and they're keeping maints at their normal time, which is 12am pst, generally there's only one tuesday maintenance but it's not like everything is back to 100%, there are still bugs they have to address on top of the server issues and this is basically their best time to do maint.

Hi
 
I know they trying to cover all the bases but they do put changes at following location (link for sever status). Also think they do 30m warning in server and on twitter account. At moment would fear that there will be daily updates at this time title they solve the core problems so would check that link - usually they put up details about 6-7hrs before it actually happens.

Looks like they just postponed the Maintenance and I was watching Persona 4 for nothing...

While it is upsetting, it's something they need to do.
 
They want to smooth out the servers and make sure they are going to be stable from here on out - there are still little after-effects from the launch last week.
 
They even said themselves that it won't be a habit to have it be nightly - we've just sadly had to have them to keep the game stable.
 
If it's too stressful for you, maybe try something else to relax for a bit until the nightly stuff stops?  It won't be forever, and we'll all be here when you come back :)
