Maintenance is a common practise in MMOs. It is a scheduled window of time during which the servers become inaccessible (thus the game unplayable) to allow for various upkeep tasks to be made.

Phantasy Star Universe's maintenance period is scheduled for a 5-hour period, once a week. However, most maintenances to date have only taken around 1 hour, and not needed the full 5 scheduled, resulting in the servers going back up sooner than expected.

Updates can occur during maintenance. However, '''not''' all periods of maintenance result in updates.

The following chart details when maintenance will take place in the most notable timezones.
