maintance man
Dropped for me too. Oh well, I guess I'll resume tomorow.
//Hello, Lodefolk! Now that I'm back into the game, I'll attempt to be active here.
Servers are down for maintenance.
Welcome to today's seven-and-a-half hour maintenance. They announced it over a week ago, so it has moved to the back of the Lodestone topics list. The maintenance is for the SE account system, but they're taking the game offline, too.
Thanks for the info, I believe I saw something in the maintenance board, but I didn't expect the game to drop for that.
Oh well, bed time anyways.
Who the heck does a 7 hour maintenance during US prime time on a live product... if my team tried that at work, we would all be fired immediately... =/
Hey guys let's be cool like WoW and have localized servers cut off from the rest of the world so we don't suffer from culture shock, and have a maintenance which was what... once a week? Twice a week?
whereas i dont have a problem with maintenance times bc of the single server location i do have a problem with the 2-3 second delay between where i see my character at on my screen and where i actually am on the server >.<
On the subject of localized versus global servers, I find it strange that with years of playing localized online games like WoW where the servers aren't very far away at all, and playing FFXI and FFXIV where the servers are strictly in Japan, I have almost no latency problems whatsoever with the Japanese servers as opposed to American servers. WoW had some of the worst lag I've ever seen, and oddly enough, servers on the other side of the planet there's hardly any lag at all for me.
I'm no computer scientist though.
And back to my original point, I'm not sure whatsoever how a 7 hour maintenance in the middle of the night (for North America) is unthinkable. Sucks for some other places, but you're acting as though this is right in the middle of the average person's playing time (as if it mattered) and is ruining everything. As far as North America is concerned this is the best time for a maintenance, since the average person... you know, sleeps.
