All Worlds Maintenance (Sept. 11)

[Camate]

Greetings,

In case you haven’t seen the news announcement posted on Lodestone, we will be holding a long maintenance on Wednesday, September 11th from 5:00 p.m. until September 12th at 3:00 a.m. This maintenance will address the below three things, which Yoshida mentioned in his post:

1. Substantially increase the number of Worlds.
2. Create a third duty finder group to further alleviate server stress.
3. Increase the number of servers used for instances.

We apologize for any inconveniences this maintenance may cause, but appreciate your understanding as we do our best to enhance the servers to ensure comfortable playing conditions.

Will this include Server Transfers as well?

Thank you for making this more noticeable, Camate.

I'll probably spend Wednesday relaxing with some friends and catching a movie or something.

Will this address the horrible latency many of us are experiencing? My ping constantly says Send 0 Receive 5000, that shouldn't even be possible. Tons and tons of data suggests that people with my issue are being routed too many places to connect. Can I get a response? I seriously don't know what to do about this other than try and get legal help to get attention, I feel like I've been had.

That is cool been getting 2 hour keep queues now.

Is the plan to always do maintenance on American servers during American prime playing time? Running it from 5pm pst to 3am pst means you hit the exact window which makes it impossible for us to play.

Also, is there a plan to add right-click blacklist or report spam to shout/whisper gold sell spammers?

The time frame for maintenance is worldwide, as all servers are being brought down at the same time.

With a 10 hour long maintenance, it's unfortunately hard to schedule it decently for more than a single region.

5PM - 3AM in NA (PDT)
9AM - 7PM in Japan
2AM - 12PM in Europe (CET)


As for the right-click blacklist, they did say they were working on it in a different thread, though there wasn't an ETA on implementation. Hopefully it's soon. Or, alternatively, hopefully they get the RMT spam under control.

I live in America on the East Coast and its not a big deal at all for me. They can do maintenance at any time they want for all I care.
