The heck? Every week we go an hour earlier. You don't have any other european players other than me?

I think the same. I just hope they give us another day at least. We only have one week left and I'm nervous about reaching my goals.
I don't understand the reason for so many hours, they could explain it better. And why they say Thank you for you patience... I am a VIP player and I pay for playing!!

I'm curious why we are having another "extended" downtime a week after our last one. Not that we will get a straight (or honest) answer but dang...
The proud kingdom of Yurp always gets the shaft with update times. That's to be expected though.
The problem is that we also get the shaft with every update that involves limited time and server numbers.
Oh well, at least we have healthcare.

I am ok with this downtime. There has been an increase in lag. Maybe/hopefully this downtime is addressing it?

We already know that it is possible that they will not do it. Before they took some hours of maintenance but now they are taking too many each week. That's my problem... And it's not funny!!Nothing cracks me up more than the people who, like clockwork, come here and say "can you extend HC (or whatever festival) for 2 hours because of the extra downtime". Like bro what

My assumption is extensive hardware work. I also assume that they hoped to complete it last week but were unable to do so in a timely manner.
Complete guesses, of course, but without official word from the company, we're all left guessing.

the game is available globally 24/7 so...I'm not sure where this "extra 2 hours" will come from. are SSG expected to extend the day from 24 to 26 hours?Nothing cracks me up more than the people who, like clockwork, come here and say "can you extend HC (or whatever festival) for 2 hours because of the extra downtime".

The two hours is a reference to how the maintenance is slightly longer than normal.

We have some extended maintenance projects that take hours to do, have to be done. The work itself needs to be spread across several downtimes to avoid essentially a day-long downtime. So, that's why last week and this week were longer than usual. Looks like we'll still have more to do as well after today, so we'll probably have to have at least one more extended downtime soon.
9 hours downtime and you used the same 2 words, extended maintenance while removing a full gameday for those in Europe. And lag will be the same or even worst afterwards. Keep the good work up! Looking for a 24 hs maintenance, I see it coming!!!

If losing one day to play a video game makes you lose your mind, you might have a problem sir.
