Forza 3 Servers Down – Auction House, Matchmaking Offline
So if you're wondering why you can't race online or doing any business on the auction house, it's because Turn 10 suddenly took the servers offline for a minor update, for up to an hour.
I'm not sure why they would take the servers down for regular maintenance with no warning, must be some heck of an update.
Hey Turn 10, wouldn't it be better to do this at say, 5 am?

“wouldnt it be best to do this at like 5am?…” ummmm no, coming from the uk, 5am here isnt 5am in the usa what can turn 10 do if work is needed to be done on all servers ect?
My suggestion of 5a.m. was a random, non-prime time. 1am, 10am, what’s the difference?
They did nominal, scheduled maintenance at 7pm, which is prime gaming time in the US on both coasts, and only midnight in Europe. That is the majority of their user base, I dare guess at least 80%?
If one spent maybe 30 seconds speculating the optimal time, maybe 2am EST? That would be 11pm on the left coast, and 7am in Europe. That would probably affect 90% fewer users.
But of course, why not inconvenience thousands of gamers when an engineer or two wants to go home at 5pm, right?
