I have also written to NCsoft about this issue so this post is purely a comment supporting Plas' inital post.

Suggest anything you want; the forums are a great place for discussing ideas. I hope you also PM a forum mod or a developer with any suggestions you put here. We're not the ones who can make changes, but if enough people communicate directly with the powers that be about the same issue, it might have an effect.
I also suggest that those of you most impacted by this start/continue a thread in a more general area of the forum, since it's not only Justice that's affected by these changes and additional changes will also impact more than those on Justice. Justice does have a lot of players from Australia, but I'm sure there are some on other servers as well. There are also players like Plas who work off hours and are spread out over all the servers. There really is strength in numbers.
I doubt the company chose their numbers at random. Whatever numbers they have, you'll have to find a way to counter and you'll do that more effectively if the affected players from all the servers work together. Or you could uncover a greater number of players who are positively impacted by the changes and why things aren't going to change. Because the one thing that's going to be true at any time is that some people are going to be negatively impacted and a very bad time for them. If you feel that your personal impact is more important that someone else's, you should consider getting together and showing that.

We're reducing the number of weekly maintenances.
Recently, we shifted our hardware/network maintenance schedule from two separate North American and European server maintenance windows to two "Global" maintenance windows per week.
This will not affect players located in North America, and will have a greater impact on Oceanic and European players. |

Thanks for posting that, Manoa!Hopefully all will go well with their reduction to one global downtime window on Thursday mornings. That works fine for me, and since the guys I normally game with go out for table-top gaming on that day anyway, they might not even notice except for the lack of maintenance on Fridays and Mondays.
Three cheers all around!
The Servers for CoH have been maintained at the time of 9:00 EST to 11:00 EST for atleast the last 4 years. I'm curious what has prompted this sudden need to change the time in which the servers are to be maintained?
For some of you... it poses no more than a minor inconvenience. However, for others of us, it is meeting time to team with others from other places in the world at a time that is within reasonable limits for both continents. And also, it may be the ONLY time some players can play. Remember, Players have schedule their lives and work around the previous, long standing time for maintenance.
Look, I appreciate maintenance, I'm not upset about that aspect. I am objecting mainly to: 1) change without player consideration 2) a sudden 2 hour shift of maintenance time.
May I be so bold as to suggest some options for discussion? One suggestion is to have one regular server maintenance time on Monday and a different time for Friday, so that not just one set of teaming individuals will be constantly knocked out. Another, less obtrusive might be to only shift the regular maintenance time by 1 hour instead of the 2 hour shift.
I'm sure our creative players can even come up with other more useful suggestions than I.
I will say, I have been greatly upset by this change in server time. As a mom, this was my only time, before the days demands were upon me to relax, and have some 'adult' time with friends I have made and teamed with from here and other continents over the last 3 years.
I truly hope the times for the server maintenance will be revisited. I"m afraid if they are not, that I will lose all the teaming friends I have created over the last 3 years of playing at this time. A true loss indeed. = (
