Be ready for massive Abyssea congestion upon the restart...

Why?

Since stones are being accumulated (and we've already gone through this -- SEVERAL TIMES):

The "maintenance" is 289 hours.

Meaning that, even if you had zero stones at the time of the closure:

If you have no abyssites to shorten the time (I believe Celerity), you would have 14-15 stones.

1 such abyssite gets it to 18.

2 such abyssites, and you now have 24.

And all 3?? Try 36!

Methinks Abyssea (and especially some of the more popular NM's) is going to be quite crowded in a little less than 18 hours.

At least they pushed back the world merge...imagine how bad it would be if they didn't.

meh it'll be no different from what it was before since i doubt everyone is off school, work and awake.

There's going to be a lot of other things to distract. Loss of all the areas to beastmen, NM spawn times, chatting with friends, restocking AH selling slots.

Dead Moogle? I think he'd have enjoyed a vacation! :)

My moogle was off checking on his friends in Japan. Fortunately they were all safe although his brother did lose gardens.

LMAO! (added to make it over 10 characters >.< )

It kind of saddens me that all players do now is Abyssea... I can understand why they want to do Abyssea but I thought we all played this game to experience all it has to offer? Whatever happened to people doing assault missions or Campaign? Anyone up for doing an assault mission or campaign mission with me when servers are back up! Since everyone will be doing Abyssea and its going to be over crowded lets go do something that won't be :)

lol that us why you lock that stuff ^>^ worst thing my moogle can get into is my fridge ....my pizza better still be there -.-


but on a side note (and trying to stay on topic ;p) just dont go to Abyssea, not like you have to, I plan on taking it slow and soloing/duo/trio with some LS mates.

lol would you still want that pizza? its been 2 weeks... its probably multiplied by now.

meh there's still the exp zones outside if you REALLY badly need exp

mmm eewww, yeah your right .... uuumm he can have then, but yeah I tend to take this Abyssea in abit slower then most I guess, I am in no rush to the top

I never farm time and I'm always over 200 stones...
I find it crazy to think that people don't have stones. You can get three stones a day with all the abyssite. With all sojourn abyssites, one stone is 48 minutes. That means you'll most likely only need two stones to reach 120 minutes, three at most if you leave the zone with less they 24 minutes.
I mean, the only way I see you being so low on stones that you can't participate in abyssea is if you spend a crap load of time in there per Earth day. If you're spending that much time in there in the first place, I don't see why you aren't farming time, which can be done in 30-60 minutes.
If you don't have all those abyssites and you spend that much time in there, I think you should put everything on hold and go get them.

My husband and I already had an average of 300 stones on our characters. 36 more stones does not excite me.

im positive ive cleared 600 stones by now... we'll see in 12 hours i guess xD

good lord I was happy that I had 6.... I am just starting out but still lol ;p

I had 340 stones when the servers went down

For most people those 36 stones is going to be like P*ssing in an Ocean of P*ss when it comes to stones. I had someone in the ballpark of 250 when servers went down lol... I know some people with like 500+.

And I do abyssea like, All the time... I just build time when i do it. I'm always awe-struck when i meet people who have no stones, it just baffles my mind XD

I dont, I sit on 200+ stones and I know a lot of other people that sit on stones.

maybe it be issue for people that spam solo.

first day may be slower since some people might not get on i doono

I always have a minimum of 150~ stones. though there are people in my LS who always have like none. D: I pretty much perpetually live in Abyssea. I dontttttt get it. XD But abyssea will be packed. I know ill be there when I wake up at 6am to play. XD <3

well there's 9 zones and different time zones so i dont think it'll be too bad really.

I had 4 stones on my person, and 0 with Joachim.

I do a lottttt of solo stuff (Empy weapons, farm pop sets for the LS.. etc etc) and end up dumping 3 stones whenever I walk in Abys and fail to worry about farming time... So yeah I know it's a problem :P

Abyssea being crowded? Meh doesn't effect me. Stand in a cue to wait for a pop to respawn, ask the other party(s) if they are fine to alternate. If the people that are already there don't play along with this - I just move onto the next pop.. In the off chance that is the last one I need for a full popset, I just exit and go do something else. Doesn't phase me.
