Update Congestion

[Randwolf]

Well, time to go to work. I'm sure it will be slightly better tonight. Although, I know the routine:

Start Download, Get Dinner, Restart Download as it quit after 4 files, Wash Dishes, Restart Download as I got lucky and 45 files downloaded, rinse repeat until it finally finishes 5 minutes before bed (or, I have to check it periodically during the night)

What an utterly despicable balls-up to put it mildly !
I am still unable to update, it looks like I shall be without my beloved FFXI for at least 24hrs, amid much weeping & beating of my breast & through a thick veil of tears I see a solution.
SE will refund all of us that have been unable to access a service we pay for with a days free play . . .
Can you imagine if you failed to pay your subs & made them wait 24hrs they would cut you off & have you locked in Mordion Gaol, however we are the underdogs, they have the upper-hand & we are powerless to take any direct action apart from vent our feelings here.
It would be nice if a mod or SE rep could post & let us know how & why this has been allowed to happen & what exactly they intend to do with regards to restitution of our lost days [24hrs +] subs.
I won't hold my breath waiting . . .

Ok, now I'm getting peeved, I have limited time to play each day & now by the time I update, if at all today, it will be too late, it's already nearly 6pm here in the UK.
As a disabled person the one joy I have in life, sad as it may seem, are my jobs & friends in FFXI so thanks SE, you really made my day & sure know how to build confidence in your products, FFIV ? You have got to be kidding, once bitten etc . . .
Interesting to note that they have not updated the 'Latest News' section of the official SE website since 13.20GMT [1.20pm] over 4 hours ago & that the 'Live Vana'diel' feed is not available either, just what is going on here ?

What really gets my goat is that the new update has absolutely nothing of any interest to me or anyone that I usually play with on my LS, good job SE, good job . . .
