Please keep servers down for a fixed time rather than an estimate, 4-6 hours is a big gap and it’d be better if people don’t have to camp login screen for so long. Keeping them down for 7 hours would be nicer so people know what time exactly they will be back

And if it takes longer than the time stated, people will be on here creating a bunch of threads crying the game isn't up and the developers are a bunch of liars and they shouldn't have given a definite time. If people don't want to camp, they shouldn't camp.

Which people do anyway.. giving a fixed time that gives them more room for error is better for them

Unless they give a huge extended time...like 24 hours after the expected fix time, it'll backfire. OTM did this a few times where they listed a time and people were outraged and flooded the forums with thread after thread. Then most of the time, there would be bugs and they'd have to take the servers down to fix them again. So you'd have people demanding them to stop giving a specific time and give a time range instead. I mean they could give a time but then it would look like "servers should be up at 3pm but bugs may arise and we might have to take the servers down again for an unknown amount of time." But then you'd be back to a time range anyway.

Uh

seven hours? but it took 7 hours and was supposed to be about 4 ish.

Already ruins the idea of overestimating how long it will take. Even guessing long still wont work. Itll never be a proper warning since things can get super out of hand and unexpected.
