while they can do that, you have to remember both servers are using the same game files (both on server and on your computer) so when it comes to updates they have to do both EU and NA at once or else one server will be either behind in content or inaccessible due to not being updated to work with the new game files..etc.I don't think they can do the maintenances separately. The whole idea behind unifying the service is that all servers are maintained from one central location, all have software updates pushed to them simultaneously, and all have their data synchronized at once.Actually, I think they can take any one of the worlds down individually, though I don't think they ever would.
So then it comes down to what time is least busy across all servers put together.

The profanity filter is necessary. Let's all remember others' comfort levels and the right to enjoy playing in a safe environment. Even though you're ok with swearing, some people don't want to be forcefully desensitised to harsh language and we all need to be respectful as to not offend others with our words/actions.
If I find an odd combination of letters censored in my sentence, that usually means it's out of bounds and can potentially offend someone. The mature thing to do would be to ignore looking up such obscure words which are censored and therefore you don't add anything unnecessary to your vocabulary.
@Yunior That would be lowering the player base. It's best to have a game available to a wide variety of ages. Introducing younger players helps make up for those leaving for work/study/careers. The younger you are, the more free time you have; and we need the population to increase.
@AK712 Finally, another mature individual! Bless you </blockquote>
well you see the thing is tha* *** not that we dont want "Harsh language" blocked, but have you ever do***ented and ****yzed how the filter works. we cant even talk about Swee****er stuff ( or other equipment in the game) or ask people to "Whi*** *e" without seeing ****, and by the time we've managed to ******** what we wanted to say we have learned at least 5 foreign swear words, and also some non swears have some how made it on to the list in the past too.
also the fact that swears are so common in the real world (even more common online, especially on youtube comment sections), especially at schools, its as hard to protect them virgin ears as it is to remove chocolate from an m&m
How about we implement the same filter on the forums for like 3 days with post editing disabled, and see how much communicating goes on without people going "what are you saying?"
