They are changing the patch times, I hope this means they get finished sooner so you early morning players can have some play time too. During this week, we will be patching at a different time than last week. The patch was consistently started at 3AM PST last week, but this week, it will start at Midnight. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please see our Network Status and Scheduled Downtime for all updated maintenance news on our servers. - The EverQuest Team
