At about 5 o'clock New Zealand time, when I've finished my homework and my mum's making dinner, I log onto roblox to play with my friends. I open the games page but I'm stopped by a bright red banner at the top of the screen. It read: roblox is under maintenance. You may encounter intermittent connectivity issues. I try to connect to a game, but it tells me to uninstall and try again. (I don't have to do this, but it's just what pops up).

This isn't a new issue, it's happened to me before. The issue is it's becoming far more frequent, at the same time each day. When roblox is up and running again, there is no change to the website or anything. Also, I don't understand why it gives us connectivity issues. Rather than changing the website around, maybe roblox should work on the fact that is does give us connectivity issues. This issue gets in the way of my play time, and I spend the evening instead visiting boring minecraft servers.

Please give me an idea as to why this happens, and maybe think about us players not in an american time zone, who have to deal with this! (Aussies and Kiwis)

It's normally minor updates like patches to exploits or fixes to glitches like the big head glitch.

They do it at that time because far fewer players are online (with more of them being on during the daytime of America & England).
They actually are updating things, just not what you can primarily see, such as the coding behind the websites to make it tougher to crack and whatnot.
Other times you can clearly tell what is changed lol

So a couple things...

Maintenance means that they are doing back-end things and does not necessarily mean that they are updating the site or adding new features. When you take a car in for maintenance, you change the oil, tune the engine, check the tires, and things like that. But you don't paint it another color, or reupholster it. Same with a computer network, 'cept there aren't any tires.

A lot of maintenance can be done without shutting things down, and you don't see it or know it's happening. But sometimes they have to stop everything in order to make adjustments.

When they have to shut things down, they try to plan it so that it occurs at times when it affects the least number of users. Since that's usually in the middle of the night in the US, it means that somewhere else in the world it's day or evening or morning.

@arb aye, it wasn't too much of an issue before but one of my points was that it's become far more frequent than it used to.
