I had thought that I read somewhere that when the Chaos data center goes down for around 2 days that those on those servers would have their accounts credited for the down time, was I wrong in hearing/reading that because nothing as such has happened?
Did I mishear this?

I recall hearing that as well, but that was when the planned maintenance was estimated to be 4-5 days, not 2.

There was a post or some such saying that. Can't for my life find it though.
Don't worry about no info on that yet, people have to buy their way to Chaos first, then we'll know about any sort of subscription extension. I assume. Like how they also put past Halloween items in the cash shop about two weeks before spilling the details about this year's event. ^^ -
10-21-2015, 03:22 AMHuntingtonWelp, glad it ate up my last two days to test how the transfer affected me since I'm in the US, I now will have to pay 15+$ to resub to find out if my Ping and everything has been wrecked by this and I'm on PS4 so WTFast and such won't help me if I am negatively affected by this now. Thanks SE, couldn't just let subscriptions NOT time out during two days of maintenance could you?Quote:

These things generally don't happen immediately, but can be expected within a week or two following. Who knows how archaic their systems are on the matter. Some poor SOB might have to actually go one-by-one for each account to change it manually lol. Another thing though... does that mean you are no longer active from today? If so, there is the possibility that you won't get two extra days, due to the mention of an active subscription, which may mean more than just an active sub prior to 9/18. You might have to have one at the time of the credit.Quote:

Well I will be re-subbing again before the seasonal event ends, but honestly they couldn't just add two days and see that it just expired when the maintenance ended? I had an active subscription when they said you needed to have one, if there is some other clause that you have to also have one when the maintenance ends then I won't even give a shite about the two extra days anymore, but I will still be annoyed that I'm going to have to re-sub to find out how much I'm affected by the server transfer when I should have been able to test it out first then see if I need to server transfer or not if it's bad.

Here, a new post about the whole thing. Though I don't think it really contains new info, apart from

Subscription extensions for those who meet the above requirements will be processed automatically in sequence.

The original was 2 days but since the maint took less time, they reduced the number of days to one.

Sounds like the data center installation went off without a hitch and they didn't need to use any of their planned buffer time. Nice!

I don't really get why you are mad about this, Huntington :confused:
Even if you end up transfering servers, it's not like you intend to quit the game, so you'd have to prolong your sub anyway..? -

Give people a bone, they want the whole bird. Seems like he's mad that Square took down an entire datacenter for this maintenance, even if it was to literally move the datacenter to another country. Given the speed of completion seems like they made sure all was ready well before the actual data transfer. Hope they fix some of the DNS routing in as timely a manner, seeing a few threads about that popping up. Still, a day of free time is a day of free time, they could have easily not given you a thing given how well in advance this maintenance was announced. So well in advance I'd honestly though they'd done it already a week ago...
