This establishes a routine for both the company and the players, and gives less opportunity to clash with the expectations of the community.

I'm not greifing, and I'm not saying the sky is fallling, but hopefully Funcom is learning from this experience. It's not a great start for them. I'll be keeping a closer eye on them to see how they run things in the future. Blown windows happen, but it's much better when they occuring during a regular maintenance window or at least with more notice.
