Hmm what about earlier? Maybe midnight PDT? That would be :
PDT Midnight - 1am
EDT 3-4am
UTC 7-8am
BST 8-9am (London)
CEST 9-10am (Paris etc)
China 3-4pm
AEST 5-6pm
NZ 7-8pm
MST and PST people would love that... Or not.
Lol im in Perth and I say just do it same time as Darkfall does 4:30am Pacific time , that is 7:30 pm here and thats a great time i think. just my oppinion
As an Australian I actually find it going down at 6:30 PM here quite good. The timing is perfect to go off and have something to eat. It is a much better time then before when the server was being taken down at times between 9pm and 11pm.
Daylight savings just ending is a help though, if it was not for that then the time would be 7:30 PM, which would get a bit annoying for tue Australians who have come home from work, had dinner with the family and sat down to play only to have the server go down.
Server is currently going down 7pm to 8pm East Coast Time, That's Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
6:30pm is only for Adelaide.
Uh my only question is why the hell do we need maintenance every day???? Baffling. I have never seen a game take down the servers every day. The most I have seen is 2 times a week.
Shoot yourself in the foot much?

There are more games then you think that are doing this, most of the time the downtime is less then 1 hour anyway
