Will FFXI really be down for ten hours on the 13th?

Just verifying that "Jun. 13, 2012 14:00 to Jun. 14, 2012 00:30 (PDT)." is not a typo lol.

No. no typo it will be down for that time duration so I'll be playing skyrim or borderlands to pass the time

Don't forget to add 150% for emergency maintenance!

they are doing some sort of fixes to the POL servers that run the game, the details as always are vague and they probably wont even tell us much after they finish the updates, we wont even be able to update FFXI itself till after they make the POL servers available again, I think I'll just go find a good book to read :/

[Habu]

At least it's an update....? Lol

[wildsprite]

it would be nice if they changed it so it would log you directly into XI unless there is an update instead of making us choose it....either that or give PS2 and XB360 users access to the SE account system, the forums and LS community through POL viewer, make the stupid thing useful, right now its used for news, chat and to log into XI....you dont have to give PS2/XB360 users a full web browser, just make a portal that allows them access to the SE account system, the forums and the LS community portal

Think that might be a little past PS2 limitations lol

My own speculation is that SE is doing a major update to the SE Account Management System in order to get it ready for some new stuff which they will probably announce at VanaFest which is about 9 days later. In addition, they may also be preparing for Version 2.0 of FFXIV.

FFXIV is also down at that same time. Both FFXI and FFXIV go down at 2pm PDT on the 13th. FFXIV comes back up a little sooner than FFXI, which is probably a result of the need to put the June update on the servers for FFXI.

But yes, it is 10 hours down for FFXIV, and 10.5 hours down for FFXI (which will likely be extended for both games based on past history).

We don't need to give PS2 players any ideas that it is anywhere near acceptable to continue playing FFXI on a PS2.

seems to be the only thing tanaka-san knows how to do.
