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.Originally Posted by SIRBASTIAN
-/+ 10min at the schedule time of maintenance is reasonable, Turn off gold chain 1hrs before maintenance, buff only if only enough time
Note: basket is not recommended either. Maintenance can go up to 10hrs something

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?
No PvP yet there are still people with such a competitive streak in this game.

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.
Best,

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.
We love our new CM.

It was good while it lasted.
