It's definitely been a major improvement over the original plan for the revised maintenance times, and knowing that we'll only have a maximum of two maintenance days in a given week is a definite boon. The fact that we'll soon have a regular event on every non-maintenance night except Saturday is a pretty good indication that the reliability of the schedule is having a positive effect on the Oceanic community, too.
The 9pm outages during winter won't be ideal, but the extra night should go a long way towards offsetting that. All in all, thumbs up from me. 
It's working out great. Friday nights are now great fun as we can get together a regular team and play till we can't keep our eyes open anymore.
It's absolutely brilliant.
I love being able to play till the wee hours on a Friday night.
Agree with all comments posted in the thread. Well done and much appreciated, NCsoft/Paragon!
Hi everyone, the last few weeks have seemed very maintenance-free to me, with the one weekly on Thursday and minimal patching on Tuesdays. The sneak-preview/test of the Christmas event in particular seemed to be very well orchestrated to not disrupt.
So, how are you finding the impact of the new maintenance schedule?
