The downtime has now made it so I can only get access starting on the 2nd of the month - right after the massive monthly expenses are deducted.

I have been ordering two planes per month to keep deliveries coming - now will miss an order so must wait to get deliveries reset.

Yes it is now my turn, and I do not like it.

If there was ever a case for a 30-day month in the game, the server downtime is it. Maybe Miller can implement this change - it does seem to make the game more fair by giving everyone a more equal chance of getting gates at the beginning of the month, and having cash at the end of the month.

I agree, right now with the gate situation the way it is there is a huge advantage to being on the computer right when the month changes. Making a 30 day month would give everyone an equal opportunity to purchase those gates, not just those that happen to be on the right side of the world.

Month changes with a 30 day (hour) month
Month 1 (day 1)-00:00 gmt
Month 2 (day 2)-06:00 gmt
Month 3 (day 3)-12:00 gmt
Month 4 (day 4)-18:00 gmt
Month 5 (day 6)-00:00 gmt

I agree as well. With this 24-day month, the timing of the month change is perfect for some people and totally incovenient for others.

Not really fair.

A 30-day month would even out the chances a bit.

I like the current method.

well, if we keep having daily server outagesa it basicaly acts like a 30 day month

Yes but if the change over AE year changes all the time - this makes it impossible to daily manage....

I can relate to Rubber Chicken.......as in Australia he would log in around 10pm and see the AE day of say 12........and his past debit gone so he can work on housekeeping...

I am in the UK......if I wanted to catch gates its 4am for me....today I was up......and BINGO - Down Again.....now for the Year turnover its 7 / 8 am......wow I get to sleep in...but some work during the day and leave at 6am.......

The USA it was....around 11pm / 2am......now thats out of wack......

So it goes on and on......

Solution for the Chicken......:

Laptop in bed......:P

This won't change with a 30 day month- the server will still be overlaoded on occasion.

Now you can also get a jetlag from managing an airline.

Well deal with it. Everybody else has been in the same situation, as the "start of the month" has worked its way around the clock with each additional downtime period. Everybody else has been in the same situation, some for longer than others, but it's a problem everybody must face.

[MinnakhtKan]

I remember when I started playing it was at 6 am, now its at 10pm lol... I would prefer the 30 day month, Its not a DEAL WITH IT Fredways, its a chance for everybody to have equal opportunity to manage their airline.

[AirKevin]

I think it would work better with 25 days.

No matter what time it is, it will be inconvenient for somebody. I don't see how making it a 30 hour "month" will change things. It'll just shift it to being inconvenient for a different group of people. As it's going now, the time is moving around the clock rather quickly. It's not convenient for me at its current time... but last week it was perfect. I'm sure within the next couple weeks it'll be back to a more convenient time.

There's no time that's going to be great for people in the US/Canada, Europe, AND Australia plus everywhere in between. Somebody's just going to have to be unhappy, and with the present situation, we're getting to take turns being that person with each downtime.

Nathaniel, your lack of comprehension of simple words continues to amaze me. From www.dictionary.com

Suggestion ... Implanting of an idea in the mind of another by a word or act so as to influence conduct or physical condition.

Complaint ... An expression of pain, dissatisfaction, or resentment

Because of your lack of comprehension of simple words, I must question the rest of your cranial capacity, and expect you are suffering from a severe case of recto-cranial inversion, combined with an extreme case of typing with one hand (because your other hand is clearly and constantly occupied). I would say pull your head out, but I expect you to fail to execute this simple task because you would probably get lost.

Conclusion ... NATHANIEL, DO NOT FLAME ME WHEN IT IS NOT JUSTIFIED!
