Dear ZOS
There is something called 'Time Zone' (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zone).
It means, that when it's morning in USA (let's say 10:00am or 11:00am), at the same moment it's 4pm-5pm in Europe. It's the time when people get back from shool, work and want to PLAY. It's called prime time. And you know bringing down servers in prime time is... hmm... let's just say it's not very smart.
Don't do this again, please.
Thx

    4-5 PM is NOT 'prime time' in anyone's timezone so stop exaggerating.

    Yes, Zenimax is prioritising their convenience over their players .. if they put players first they'd be take the servers down in the morning .. but right now the EU servers are in the US so there's some sense and later afternoon isn't a big deal: kids coming home from school can do homework and workers rarely will be home before 6:00PM anyway so again, you're exaggerating the effects of the servers being down earlier that that.

    When the servers move to Europe though this had better change .. and the planned Sunday morning maintenances on both sides of the Atlantic is going to really generate some anger if it happens.
