funny how the game caters for many languages, currencies for crown store etc etc
"AI Overview.
Yes, The Elder Scrolls is a global franchise played and sold worldwide, with millions of copies sold across multiple continents.
Blizzard is also a US company, and they schedule maintenance at night for each corresponding region. I’m not even going to mention that WoW, with a much bigger infrastructure and player base, has 1–2 hours of maintenance for global patches and 15–30 minutes for regular maintenance, while ESO has 6–12 hours every week.

How WoW is even relevant to this discussion?
Guild Wars 2 does maintenances at their own schedules, holidays in other countries or not.

So couldnt they start 6 hours later at 10am, stil being in the business day?
Also, is it really devs doing maintenance ?
That's kinda the point, though. Maintenance can be started by one dude shutting down the server tasks and starting a prepared maintenance script. The critical part is getting everything up and running again. When things don't work, you want a rested team that can stay for another 8 hours if need be.1 -

That might be so if there is a wrench thrown into the gears they have all hands available to straighten out the mess? A few people start the updates and then the rest trickle in for work and if things go smooth carry on with their normal day. If things run amok they get into un-amok mode.and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."3 -

GW2 Maintenance doesn't shut the game servers off I thought? the way GW2 players explained was they move all the players to a different instance while they do maintenance. The big problem with maintenance in ESO (and most other mmos) is that the game is unplayable for hours1
