Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

It's a major US holiday today, why didn't you delay maintenance until tomorrow?

    I agree.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Not even remotely true. Retail businesses are open. Tons of others who do not have retail fronts open to the public are not open. I, for one, work for a mental health clinic. We have nothing to do with the government or banks and we are closed for the day.

    Martin Luther King Jr. Day <-- one of the greatest Americans to ever live. He led peaceful protests throughout the 60's to bring awareness to discrimination against all people of color. American Hero!

    Martin Luther King Day. Launched in 1983 by Ronald Reagan. My large company is closed today. Apparently retail is open by and large.

    "major" holiday.

    History aside, for many people it's just another Monday.

    That's a pretty heavy amount of hyperbole. The NA servers are down today for maintenance where the USA and Canada both recognize the holiday(namely the USA though which is the majority of what makes up the NA server).

    One of the things they are trying to fix relates specifically to the groupfinder on the NA server.

    According to CNBC, 45% of employers give the vacation. So, maybe a slight exaggeration, but it's still a decent sized chunk of players who were hoping to spend their time in game today when they'd normally be at work.

    Well over here in the UK we often get maintenance during odd times. Just the way it is.

    Think we all agreed in the terms and conditions that we accept downtime at any length/duration/selected time.

    Yeah, used to having maintenance on Public Holidays here in the UK. Am sure our friends from mainland Europe can say the same.
    So they raised the floor and lowered the ceiling. Except the ceiling has spikes in it now and the floor is also lava.

    Major US holiday, but my lady is working, lots of my friends too... Why leave the game broken for another day? Also, it's only a holiday for you guys, not anyone else. The game is not for Americans only... What I mean by this is, your belly button isn't the center of the universe. Enough said.

    It is because the grouping system, which is a major part of the game, has been broken since early Sunday and has been affecting many players, resulting in many canceled raids at least in the PvE community.

    If the maintenance is only for minor bugs then sure, I see your point; but this is, like, a really big deal right now, so the earlier they deal with it the better.

    Considering that you guys couldn't group up yesterday and people qould have wanted a fix for that asap so they'd ave to take the servers down regardless...

    Plus the rest of the world have holidays now and again where the servers are offline because its maintenance with no regards to our holidays, I really don't see why USA holidays should get preference in an international mmo. Except in the cases where the staff themselves arr off work, which clearly is not the case here.

    Americans generally only get 9 holidays each year, with maybe 2-3 weeks of vacation on top of that. Most retail or other "blue collar" workers work on major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, even on Labor Day. (which is real irony)

    Please elaborate where the hyperbole is supposed to be in my earlier message. And I don't know what your view on 'recognizing' a holiday is, but Canada enjoys a regular working day today. Like the rest of the world.

    Sorry, but the world doesn't revolve around U.S. holidays. Mx was needed and done. Play later.

    And the majority of people work on this day in the USA, it is not a mandatory holiday. And many folks work for companies which have no days of closure -- ever. The one I work for is running 24/7 366 (this year) worldwide.
