Everyone says that new servers start every other week on Thursday. I just find it odd. I feel like most people either have a day job, school, or some other commitment to attend to at some point on Thursdays. Why can't the servers start on Saturdays? People usually find it easier to carve out time to play a video game on Saturdays and sometime Sundays, especially across multiple time zones, so if there's a reason as to why new servers start on Thursday, I'd be interested to know why Thursday of all days.

We've started servers on Fridays in the past right as people go into their weekends, but if something goes wrong with the server we'll have problems fixing it fast because it will be a weekend for us as well.
As a result, servers start on a Thursday to ensure that they can be in the best possible state heading into the weekend.
