1. Why do the servers always go down on Monday AM?
[/ QUOTE ]
Server maintenance after the heavier weekend play - as you said, they have "always" gone down at this time. Nothing new today.

servers go down on monday and friday mornings for server resets, maintenance. usually from 9-11 am est.
and no, trial accounts can't join super groups.
CoX still has a few little memory leaks server-side, I think. The servers used to go down EVERY morning at 9 AM, and they still reserve the right to bring them down on any given morning.
I think they do Monday and Friday because there's a lot more gameplay from Friday morning through Sunday night than there is the rest of the week.

1. The scheduled maintenance window is 8 AM to 10 AM Central Time (6 AM to 8 AM Pacific, 9 AM to 11 AM Eastern) on Mondays and Fridays. This is standard maintenance; they reset the servers, make sure everything's okay, make serverside software updates, kick the tires, clean cotton candy out of the air vents, that sort of thing.
They also reserve the same two hour block on every weekday for additional updates (patches, issue publications, etc).
2. No, trial accounts can no longer join supergroups. They could in the past.

7AM to 9AM Mountain. But that time zone doesn't really matter. >.>
Seriously, though, weekly maintenance is normal for MMOs. Don't know of any major MMOs that don't do it.

I swear, every Friday night around 11-ish, Protector would go down for 'maintenance'.
My favored theory on this was the cleaning ladies unplugged the server rack to plug in their vacuume cleaner.

Reminds me of the program my highschool used for attenence, grades, etc (their CMS, I guess you would call it).
1:30 PM every Friday. It went down.
I would even set my watch by it.
