Can't seem to find any details on how long the maintenance period is expected to last. As of now its due to go down in 45 minutes, what is the scheduled uptime for American PC Megaserver?
Sincerely,
Skoda Zek - Dragonknight

    They don't give an ETA, it will be finished when it is finished.

    Usual downtime is 4-6 hours. There are occasions when it is as little as an hour or as much as 12 hours though, so your guess is as good as mine. Sorry that I can't provide more precise times.

    That sums it up pretty well :)

    For sub-patches and only sub-patches (without other updates to infrastructure etc,) it can take as little and 1-2 hours, depending on patch. This could still be 4 hours+, who knows.

    Worse case scenario there's an "unexpected error" with EU maintenance (always us) and it's 8757893478657834658725 hours or so.
    Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.

    The advertised time frame in the in-game help panel says 4AM start.
    This is now the third week in a row that they have started an hour earlier.

    After three years of operation, it is totally unbelievable that they cannot predict how long the down time period will be.

    Maintenance Monday is a regular feature.
    Never, in the 3 years of operation have they given an estimate for the down time.
    May I respectfully suggest you get used to it & move on.

    82. Victory laps after killing the dragon with my 1d2 bow is considered in poor taste.
    83. My gnome does not like big butts and he cannot lie.
    84. Not allowed to talk my fellow inquisitors into buying a 220lb pull crossbow.
    85. Not allowed to talk my fellow inquisitors into buying an industrial strength flamethrower.
    86. Not allowed to make a superhero with a 99% chance of dodging even after the -10 penalty for a successful called shot.
    87. There is no such thing as a dwarven katana.
    88. My bard does not get a bonus to perform if she is obviously not wearing anything under her tabard.
    89. The elf's name is not Legolam.

    Actually they have, but were so, so, so, wrong. From 2 hours ETA to 4 hours unexpected downtime , which ended up being 7.

    They changed it within the hour before the server went down, but in fact before you posted this, to read 3am.

    It says 3AM for maintenance start time now, I am looking at it. It changed to read 3AM about an hour before maintenance. If it says 4AM for you and hasn't changed since last night I do not know what is going on with the way the banner displays for you.

    I dont get only one thing about maintenance. I will not complain about time for finishing it. Why the hell is maintenance for NA and EU servers at the same time? Do they have brains i mean is the time zone the same? I know that Americans in Middle East or West Coast will complain too but still they should have at least 3 different starts for maintenance.

    Maintenance has been at the same time on both servers since Zeni made it so that only 1 install was needed to run the game on either server - so someone on NA server and someone on EU server have the same game install. Both need to be patched at the same time.
