it is for how ever LONG they need it :
-Login Restrictions
In the time period just after maintenance has completed, we predict a rush of characters logging in simultaneously. In order to prevent any technical difficulties due to this login rush, we will be temporarily placing severe login restrictions. These login restrictions may occur frequently, lasting from a few minutes to ten minutes; however, restrictions will be lifted in a gradual manner as login status is carefully monitored. We ask for your patience and understanding in this matter.
Furthermore, as a result of the countermeasures taken to alleviate stress on the Duty Finder servers, we expect to be able to increase the number of players able to login simultaneously; however, if those login numbers still surpass the maximum number of possible logins in the various Worlds, please be aware that we will continue to implement login restrictions.
could be a hour to hours or so on, we learn from this page http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...b9b8b5c44d4061
that they are putting in the ability to add new servers so from reading comprehension we can take that if the problem persists to long they will add new servers to help the flow .....
