Yeah Balmung was too much for our buddy Greg to handle. Where things got broken. Therefore things gotta get fixed. Don't worry Hildy is taking the fall for it.

Last maintenance notes had lots of Alexander stuff in it.

A haiku:

The code was willing
It considered your request
But the chips were weak.

There is a weekly maintenance (happened yesterday). Today it's an emergency maintenance, it was not planned, something must have been terribly broken.

Not to try and put down the dev team, but having to constantly do maintenance on the game is a sign of poor skills on somebodys end. I love FFXIV and all, but I've never played a game (mmos included) with so many long maintenances. I pretty much expect at least 3-4 maintenances a week after HW launched.

something to do with the servers. I don't know why but it seems there have been a large amount of issues with the servers since 3.0 release.

Could just be the over load of new players and returning players being too much for the servers.

I'm still curious what this maintenance is for. I've accepted the time off but to know what it's for would be nice. : )
