So long as they don't overhaul POL for P2P updates, they need to leave it as-is to keep from DDoSing themselves.

actually what they need to do is change it so its an update queue so people are put in line to wait rather than being disconnected, sure it would take longer but it would serve to help their update server mess

It would be better to add a server based pre-que. That way as people logged on it would put them in line after the update info is downloaded and you wouldn't have people hammering the servers with retries. Notice I said server side que? If it was client side based people would hack it and jump the line an get their downloads first.

As for waiting 60 hours. :rolleyes: Go do something else then until things cool down. I don't think they'll be permanently shutting down the game just yet so have a little patience. In the end when things cool down you'll be able to log on, get your download 1st try at a faster speeds and not constantly disconnect.

I've got all this in panoramic view for all you lot moaning about trying to update 1 comp :p

Had the main (comp) up to 10% an hour or so ago and then booted.
The left one is at 4% at the minute and has taken a looong time to get there. Currently 3343/3493
And the right comp just managed to get to the file check and complete it.. to be booted.. lol

hows eaveyone els dong on getin on?

5hrs. No progress.

yea you are definitely going to be done before me, wtf....

This makes me sad considering my total DL time will be around 12 hours. Time to move out of the stone-age SE

Edit: A problem im noticing is its hanging at 0% of a file dl and 99%, for every file.

Edit 2 -- Ahah I tricked the system!!, cancelled update and reconnected and it shaved 2 hours off my time.. nice!

yea i was thinking about doing that but am afrade i wont get in!

>.> And now to stand staring at the Adoulin npc until SE decides to make it live, whenever that'll be lol

ok that worked i loed out and back in and am at 1hr 4min for the dl


wait didintthey say it would be up as soon aswe log on?

Nope, they said it won't be and they'll announce it later. The servmes when you get on says "Wednesday the 27th or Thursday the 28th"

Says the 28th for GMT, which GMT midnight is in 4 more hours. So it probably won't be live until at least 4 hours from now.

wow that is dumb as hell....Here have this xpac but you cant do nuffin with it!!

they proly want to have as menny ppl doing the event at once so the servers crash and they hae to have emergasie maint for 12hrs tomoro

nah it will be more like 18-20, anybody remember what happened during the last 2 expansions? I know at-least one of them had a 18 hour maintenance

yea the 2nd aby then the next day it went down again lol

Why didn't they just use a torrent system for this? This would have completely alleviated the connection issues...

Finally finished update at 5:40 PM EDT. Started at approx. 9:15 AM EDT.

Total update time: 8hrs 25mins.

I'm still working on the "log in" part of the equation.

Try logging in while refreshing http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/index.shtml that is what I did and it worked... you just need to refresh it over and over again...

It's because 80% for the ffxi players are all trying to get on at the same time

Just keep trying and you'll get it
