Thank you for using Niconico Douga

The PC browser version of Economy Mode hours will be extended starting July 22 due to a large influx of summer holiday user traffic. During this period, Economy Mode weekday and holiday hours will be from 12:00pm to 2:00am PST.

* What's Economy Mode?
Economy Mode is a low video quality playback mode applicable to free members of Niconico Douga that activates when servers are congested.

Our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience, but truly appreciate your understanding in this matter.
