I realize that there is a need for weekly downtime, but with the increasing number of oceanic players can't this downtime be made at a time that affects everyone equally.

For the workers among us we dont just loose the 8hr downtime but a full day of WoW. By the time we get home from work the realm is in downtime.

I'm sure players in other parts of the world would not like it if they would have to be unable to access their account for more than the 8hrs downtime.

I don't know about everyone else I know at least 15 players in my area who get sick of this loss of valuble play time.

How bout sharing the loss of playtime all over the world instead of leaving it to us to cop every week.

You are more than welcome to recommend this in the Suggestion Forum, but the issue you will quickly run into if this was done - is this.

Everyone else's realm is unavailable - yours is available.

See where I'm going here? That can become unpleasant - and indeed - unplayable, in a hurry.
