Emergency Maintenence?

Phoenix as well. I got 90k out of the game, and when i tried to go back in, the server list was down. so obviously not just one server.

Same on ultros, nothing yet. Someone in /sh mentioned seeing a list and saying ultros wasn't on it. I didn't bother to inquire further.

Could be a global message, even if it's only affecting specific servers.

but it can have information placed on the forums or news page of the game it's self..

I got it on balmung as well, i just logged as i dont want to be stuck in limbo either

All EU/NA server list is currently down and unable to update from the launcher. :/
Not that it makes any difference to me as I have been locked out the entirety of
my only day off due to 1017. Maybe I can get in when they bring 'em back up.

I think they should implement a daily play limit, like 8hrs max per 24hr period.
Anyone with a macro keyboard can get past an afk timer. Players would instead
want to log out when they weren't playing so as to not waste their play time.
It would keep the no lifers from clogging up the servers and somewhat even
the playing field.

I think the majority fall within' this daily limit and perhaps would not even reach it.

Also; Because of 1017 I haven't been able to play and reach a sufficient level so
as to make more than 3 posts per day on the forum? wtf.

Just got home from the office. Can't Log into NA/EU at all... If nothing else at least this will boot the AFK'ers and Goldspammers :)

Got it on Leviathan as well, but here we are still playing.

ultros reporting

Guildies said they got the message on Leviathan but they are still playing as well. I haven't been able to get on due to the "Unable to update Group NA/EU" message for the last 30 minutes.

They probably made the announcement and giving folks time to get to an inn. Just to be safe I stopped my tailoring in Ul'dah and ran to the inn and jumped into the bed. I did not want to be stuck in limbo, and I didn't want to be rolled back either.
