    data maintance downtime

    It would be nice if announced downtime for April 13th starting at 8pm Eastern daylight time would actually start on April 13th and not on April 12th.

    During event this means a loss in event resources of several 100 stripy eggs due to inactive explorers (which could be avoided if the posted date was the actual time of the downtime)
    Plus loss of useful premium time if downtime was announced more than 24h in advance.

    I appreciate the careful planning (downtime on a weekend & holiday), timely announcement (<24h in advance), and correct announcement (DATE)

    How do you know the 13th maint started on the 12th? We could be experiencing maint for the 12th now and get hit tomorrow with the 13th, as announced.

    Sunday? Monday? They're very similar...

    It's a simple mistake most anybody could make...

    The correct way to do this would be to say April 12-13. Otherwise, people just get confused. I was all set to plan around tomorrow's downtime by not adventuring and sending out my explorers appropriately. Even then, doing this during an event... why? I was not all set to plan around today's because it's a day early. It is unusual for them to give so much notice, which would be helpful, so maybe I should have assumed and checked the German site. Also just used premium, scouting post, observatory, and sent out my explorers on medium searches that are already coming back now.

    Dear Settlers,

    On Monday, 13th of April, an IT infrastructure task will require the game servers to be taken offline.

    Please plan your game activities accordingly.

    Date: 13.04.2020
    Timeframe: approx. 20:00 EDT - approx. 06:00 EDT
    Game: All gameworlds offline
    Adventures & Premium: Times will be extended
    Happy Settling!

    It is the 13th in Europe - too bad we are in North America.

    Unless something is severely broken, I would not do any maintenance during an event, ever. Why not just wait a week and do it during the removal phase? Not to mention it was supposed to be on 13 April vice the 12th.
