Jeez everyone's so up-tight about the updates! Don't you people have a life? Is there nothing you can do in the downtime like say, clean your room/apartment/house, or maybe walk your dog that you've been ignoring ever since you got FFXI? How about calling your family that hasn't heard from you in 2 months? Can't you people break yourself away from thinking about this game for just a couple of hours every week?

It doesn't matter when they bring the game down, it will be on someone's primetime. It's typical American behavior (yes, I'm American too) to assume that it's SE's responsibility to ensure we are never inconvenienced. I hear all this stuff about favoritism... what the hell is that? You expect them to change their maintenance time when NA starts buying the game, and call it favoritism when they DON'T do it?!? It's not favoritism, it's accountability. Who here knows exactly when the maintanence happens every week? That's right, raise your hand. Everyone does, you can bank on that. 'nuff said.

Hmmm, makes you kind of wonder why they even bother having a "test server" if they arent going to actually do any testing on it. You would have thought that they might have tested this update before releasing it and solved some problems before shutting down paying players day after day... Just a thought.

opps double post

So we get bored and post here. It's cool, but man I waited all morning for some one to get off my computer. Ok their off now. I'll go play. Oh WAIT, whats this? Can't log on because why? Maintenance! Again! Its cool. But just once while Im asleep in the middle of the night Please..... ####ZoodayZ####

Did it seem like they started the "daily" maintenance early? It was 10 minutes until the scheduled start time and the system message was telling everyone to logout immediately. Or maybe is was just my connection going down as I was logging. Anyway, PS2 players have got to love the new /shutdown command.

My wife was really ticked that she didn't get to play last night. And now again tonight. Uh oh.

So I wake up everyday to play. And guess what more down time hmm again and again why pay for a month just to get 3 weeks worth oh humm.

I agree with the rotating of main. on JP time, we did buy the game as well. It just seems as if there is some favortism going on there. Oh well, I'll have to deal with it.

Mmm it's really annoying that its prime time (Europe) but we have to cope. Changing it will be bad though since then when there's an update, you'll never know when it's going to be, which is bad. At least keeping 10-13PDT and times like that, you know that during this time, you MIGHT not be able to get on.

i have a bow i crafted with my name on it "Alysse" and now it is signed by "ZagF" or sumthing like that -.- is this gonna fix that ? cause i dunno ... i guess ill just sell it in the AH and make a new one ><

I'm tired of Server Maintenance, why can't Square-Enix rotate it between us and Japanese? It sure was an inconvience to some of us who stay up a couple extra hours to finish attaining Rank 5 last night.

dont they ever try their **** out before deplyoing it? SE is starting to act like Gravity (Ragnarök Online) who couldnt make one decent update ever, but had to redo everything.
they better shape up soon.

Well this is to be expected, since they are installing such a huge update into the servers.
