Credit where it's due

Thank you for giving adequate notice of this week's maintenance downtime.
Very pleasant being able to arrange our islands and schedules in advance, instead of logging in to find all worlds close in 90 minutes time and trying to log into multiple servers in a blind panic to just prevent losing the login bonus and send out the few explorers that aren't still out on a search that will complete while we are in limbo.

Agreed, the advance notice is really helpful. Hopefully this will be the pattern in future. It would particularly be nice to get plenty of notice for the major events so people can plan their time accordingly.

I agree, Thank you

Carrot and stick old chap.
Rational argument hasn't got through, so taking a leaf out of the Barbara Woodhouse book. :)
