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

[Starcade]

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.
