To everyone complaining:

First off, about your money. STFU. How much does this game cost you a month? and how many hours are there in a month, minus downtime? 52 cents a day roughly, and thats assuming a 28 day month, so 31 days even less than that. You pay more for your morning paper than you do to play this game for however many hours you get in each month. If you only get in 2 hours a month, fine you got shafted, maybe you should take up something new. If you've played for 10 hours that month...go find something else that is going to cost you 12 and change for 10 hours, and share what it is with the rest of us, cuz I don't know of many things.

As for everyone else not complaining about money just "get it right you retards at SE, gawd!", STFUx2. Have you ever tried to write a program? Programming from scratch is hard enough, programming to modify or maintain something can be even harder sometimes. Every line of code you add or alter can put ghosts and bugs into another line of code, just like hardwiring circuits. One things out of place, and it can **** up a hell of a lot of other things. 3 hour maintenance fine, they need time to look through all of the code they just put in and see what is ******* up on them, I won't begrudge them that. I don't get to play until Saturday now, but so what, I can watch TV, read a book, hell if you are really hard up about the game, you know what you can do?

STRATEGIZE!

That's right, every so often during one of these maintenances, I'll sit and plan out what I want to get done in game that week once it's over. If you know a maintenance is coming, get some AH prices on itesm you can farm, jot them down, and plan a farming trip. IF it's an emergency maintenance, get here on alla, browse the forums, maybe find a piece of equipment you awnt or a few missions and quests you can clean up when you get back on, and start planning for what you need. There ya go, 10 hours will pass by in no time, unless you sit in front of your com trying to log in every 30 seconds.

In summation, I hope everyone whining here goes out, gets a life, does something more worthwhile than complaining about 50 ****** cents. Take that 50 cents, go buy a candy bar, and torment some goblins(kids at the nearest park), or gigas(fat people at a weight loss center) by eating it really slowly and over-enthusiastically.

What the HECK is PDT? It said the maintanence would begin at 8:00 (PDT), and I got kicked at 10:20... >.>

And yeah, I hate sounding impatient, but they really do need to get their crap together. We've already paid for the services, they could at least take care of the little details at the END of the month when people are deciding wither or not they want to pay for this game.

I wonder that Fish has gone. A fish, a fish, a fishy fish... ohhhh...

P.S: I hate to jump on the bandwagon of people angry at these updates, but yeah, these do suck. And you know, for the person who said the update happened while we where sleeping, not everyone is awake during the day. Some of us wake up at night to socialize with other outcasts and go to night school, and NEED this game for amusement at 12:00 at night. >.>

is it that frustrating? if you can't pull yourself away from pc, go read something on this site. I've just learned how to change the music, so im bizi converting all the funky lame songs to cool or rockin tunz. Still deciding on battle songs, but changed all the city songs and the airship, lol, they were getting old. Stick to instrumental or minimal singing, or you will get tired of em real soon, I think.
Good luck, go read about Garrison fights so we can get some goodies, and quit ********

That statement is just a LITTLE contradictory. Considering that bashing others with your own beliefs is expressing your opinion. Huh. Think about it.

Excuse me but what job do you work that gives you money to throw away? I do a lot during maintenances, play with my kids, watch a movie, play a different game. And sure i dont like the long maintenances, but its SE's oh wait another 2-3 hours which throws the wrench into the works of everyone who plays this game. Tell me if you were owner of a company or store, and you were paying someone to do a job on time, yet he doesnt do it on time, is he doing the job hes paid for? no. people pay SE for their services to be prompt and dont want their money to be wasted on extentions. Everyone is entited to their opinion, but dont come here to bash others with your believes of better things. They came to vent which is better than doing other obvious things that can hurt themselves or others.

this is utter BS, im sorry, a 9 file update took 10hrs, then more maintence for another 3hrs... incredible, its mind boggling. I tried to not belive in the whole, spoil the Japanese becaus we are SE, but each and every update recently, (besides 1 that i know of) has been in NA Primetime, while the Japanese get to play the entire day...

I almost sided against posting this, so I don't sound contradictory since I'm checking this site...

But most of you people need to socialize. You sit here, and I'm guessing at this (and most stereotypes are true) ... check to see if you can log on to POL every 5 minutes so you can sit there on FFXI and camp an NM. I'm all for playing the game as I enjoy meeting and playing with new people, but in all seriousness... if you destroy all your damn plans to sit here and play rather than actually associate with other HUMAN beings that DON'T play FFXI... that's just effin' stupid.

*edit* And to people saying they're going to sue SE for not refunding for prolonged maintenance time... Firstly, I doubt any of you lame idiots would have the kahoons to actually follow through with the plan. And secondly, if they didn't do maintenance, I guarantee that half of you on here would still be ******** and moaning of glitches, bad items, unfair gameplay, hackers, and all of the like. Considering that, you know... THAT'S WHAT SE FIXES WHEN THEY DO MAINTENANCE. Morons.
