The maintenance thread post by alpaca actually states GMT+1 which adds even more confusion and is even further from correct.
17 minutes past the hour is very messy though.

Hmmmn, Anyone planning to drop their buffs within 5 mins of an approx. shutdown is planning to fail; However, a "server shutdown in 5 mins" message can't be that hard to implement, and would allow anyone to work around some flexibility in the shutdown schedule. We've had weeks where the server has run on 10+ minutes past half 12, so it running short on occasion really shouldn't be a surprise, but a heads-up would make everything much, much easier all around.
Carping you've lost resources has zero chance of getting any action, but perhaps some constructive feedback would: As always, communication (or lack of) seems to be the issue. "Shutdown imminent" isn't really that helpful, as we all know it's going to happen. Alpaca, could you feedback a request for a 1h, 15 min and 5 min warning, which would actually be useful, and presumably not that difficult to implement?
jeeez people its a free game,have ever thought of getting lives for when the games down,or is there a million pound prize that i dont know about lol.
How constructive. And inaccurate, as many gem buyers would be happy to point out.Quote:

I'm a paying customer and I would like to point out that this is a game. Treat it as such. So you lost an opportunity to make more coin. Like SIRBASTIAN said, is there a million pound prize that the rest of us should know about?Quote:

The GMT+1 is my bad, and for that I apologize-- we recently ended DST here and I thought I had gotten most of the posts correct but one slipped past me.Quote:

We used to feel that way when we had only been in the game for 5 minutes, but after a few years of playing, we kind of expect not to have nasty surprises, especially those that can set you back an entire day.Quote:
