Maintenance postponed

For anyone that logged off early and is having withdrawal symptoms, maintenance has been postponed until "a later time". So the servers are still up.

I wonder why they postponed the maintenance, perhaps something else broke while testing?

I'm sure we'll never know :) Maybe the indentured lalas couldn't pump out enough metallic gold dye in time for everyone to get 4... Alls I know is it's even quieter than usual in Zalera right now :)

Lalafells are always short handed.

Should have employed Knife ears.

Seriously, getting system messages <30mins before the scheduled start time so I log off, only to come back 2+ hours later to see this........... talk about infuriating. SE really needs to make mobile notifications happen. :mad:

Yeah I got suspicious when it was 1 minute before scheduled time and there hadn't been the usual "Get out!" messages. Then a bit later they did a system message saying it was postponed.

I think it's because of how close patch 2.4 is, maybe they decided not to bother bringing the servers down for a small hotfix so close to patch?

I hope we get more metallic gold as a compensation

Or the code change they were going to introduce may have caused other problems that they did not intend.

Don't think 2.4 is close enough to kill off emergency maintenance, especially with a hot fix supposedly planned for the 23rd. Today is the 16th.

We and my fellow brethren and sisters are on a strike. Unless Square Enix gives in to our demands, we shall not work.



PS: We want new hairstyles and more respect.

Pretty annoyed, I logged off early and now I get the news that I both wasted my time and I will lose more playtime tonight -.-

Why did they keep the system message running until the last moment?

make yourself 3 caracters on your server, you'll have 12, just dye and trade the pieces you want. there you go, no farming required

If its untradable, well too bad.

Also, I'd hold on my dyes and look for the 2.4 gear look before making any glamour decisions

Isn't that an extremely racist term for elves?

I never thought I'd see people complaining about there NOT being maintenance lol There could have been any number of reasons for the delay.

BTW, the new schedule is up:

You've waited a whole year, I'm sure you can wait another 24 hours.

What on Earth do they have to do that they have to shut everything off in order to implement a single dye? 4 hours? That's how I imagine their tools they use for Maintainance.
