Poor timing for a Twar

Labor day weekend. C'mon cg. I know we have to squeeze alot in, but running guild events for an entire month. Bad form. I bet your offices will be closed monday?

But I also agree with the OP. Running TW on holidays is poor form.

You do realize that this game is played all over the world, right? And that different countries have different holidays? No labourday here in my country (in Europe).

Yes, but the developers ARE from the US. As is a significant portion of the player base. And they ideally would take holidays from all countries into consideration when scheduling game-wide events.

The playerbase in Europe is potentially larger. Not that it matters, since (once again) the playerbase is spread all around the globe. The developers' location doesn't matter either. They develop the game for the playerbase — not themselves. The only cases where the developers' location matters is when rolling out larger updates. I think they learned their lesson to not roll it out just before their weekends and holidays.

Considering various holidays all over.the world would make scheduling a living hell for the developers.
