Regarding Maintenance Currently ongoing.

The game is currently going through maintenance, however the launcher info doesn't say ANYTHING about it.

Get a day off, try playing your game, get a FU from staff cuz they don't care about informing you.

Dear S-E staff, the least you owe me now is extension by 2 days of the subscription time.

Doesn't say anything about 16th being in maintenance, I'm expecting to be compensated for your disinformation.

If you had been running regular maintenance I wouldn't be pissed off, but you aren't. So now compensate my time cuz in 2 days when the game is up and running, I'm off for a week-long trip at work and will not be back before my sub is up. And I'm not extending. Want to know why ? SIMPLE!

I spend too much time on this great game :D
Need a time off :D

But seriously, I want teh extra day because tehre is NO mention about 16th, only about 17th.

Right now is just downtime I think since most, if not all the worlds were having connection issues but true - compensation is plausible but not necessary.

Its emergency mainatenace, servers were having issues and they need to be taken down to fix. There is a post for this. Next time try checking things before abusing SE.

It's an emergency maintenance. If stuff goes wrong, it goes wrong. They are working on fixing it. It happens. They announce the start of an emergency maintenance ingame a little bit before it commences, but it's not like they can plan for emergencies.

Read the terms of service and I'm sure they dont owe you anything

2 days for 1.5 hours of emergency maintenance?

k

Here is SE's post for it now http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...0b5b4819ea6efb

If you had taken a look you would of found that there was only an issue with certain servers.

You do know the current emergency Chaos maintenance isn't the scheduled maintenance?

Something JUST happened and they deemed it important enough to pull the servers to fix it.
I'd rather they do that then, I don't know, lose all my character information forever.

I know right, seems that people that were on the servers were getting DC's non stop when zoning etc.

Wish people would check whats going on instead of immediately having a rant on the forums about a one and a half hour maintenance.

I pay my sub so they can get stuff working. Emergency maintenance is part of getting the game to work (sometimes). Therefore I am paying for this emergency maintenance and I honestly couldn't give a toss about it. I hope they DON'T reimburse me for that 1.5 hour maintenance and will go off on a forum rant if they do.

So... Why are servers down now ._.

Tons of people were unable to log in; seems to be linked with zoning according to the downtime post

All Chaos Data Center Worlds Emergency Maintenance (Nov. 16) - On the Lodestone.

How do you expect notice for EMERGANCY maintenance? Are you for real? O.o You're not entitled to any free time back when they and fixing the game, the people who always ask for this frankly just look like kids throwing their toys out of their prams. You're paying a sub to keep the game expanding and running smoothly (dem devs need paying, also - profit), to do so requires maintenance.

Square doesn't owe you anything. Stop being entitled.

Maybe you should read that wonderful User Agreement that you accepted OP:
5. INTERRUPTION TO THE SERVICE
From time to time, in order to provide our customers with the optimal gaming experience, it is necessary for Square Enix to conduct routine maintenance on the computers and/or servers that support the Game. During these times, access to the Game or support services may be interrupted. Access may also be temporarily suspended in whole or in part, without notice, due to emergency repairs, fire, flood, explosion, war, strike, embargo, governmental action or failure to act, the act of any civil or military authority, act of God, or by any other causes beyond Square Enix's control, or any other reasons for which Square Enix, in its sole discretion, deems that temporary suspension is necessary. You acknowledge that disruptions of service may occur and waive any causes of action against Square Enix in any way arising from or related to any such disruptions of service.

You actually think people read the entire ToS? Not an attack just kinda funny cus I am sure most of us just scrolled and agreed, but this kinda thing is common sense. Sorry to hear its happening when your trying to play though.

They usually make a notice in teh launcher about tehre being an emergency maintenance, and if you read what I wrote, you'd know that after a while of working I finally got a day off and I can't do anything about it, I'm heading back to work tomorrow afternoon for a whole week, and that's pretty much why I'm pissed off.
I paid for a month, out of which due to maintenance that's not regular (and this wouldn't happen if it was regular or at least less often) I get to play this wonderful game for like 4 hours, maybe 5 hours a month.

The emergencies always happen when I have the time. I'm not constantly at work too, but when I have the working week, I just have the bad luck of having a day off when the game has a day off.

They should simply start running a regular maintenance, and maybe this somehow will lessen the amount of emergencies they run, 6th mnc this months really is a bit much.

They do run regular maintenance. Whenever there is a game update, especially a large one like 3.1 there will be unexpected bugs and issues that need fixing over the a few weeks as they are discovered and reported in which case they do some unexpected emergency maintenance.

I too do not like it but it happens and just have to deal with it. Part of playing a MMO.

Just FYI, I was on the server BEFORE maintenance. Then, I got booted and was stuck in lobby like forever, trying to log back in. It seemed like I could get in at first, but I was always kicked out before moogle flying loading screen would finish loading. The server just wouldn't let me in. So, even without this emergency maintenance, the servers on Chaos Datacenter still wouldn't let you in. Maintenance was to fix this. It didn't cause it. Don't get angry at the maintenance.

go outside......

So you want SE to give you 2 free days cause you were inconvenienced for couple hours?

here we go again. op you are angry because your playtime is on the day of maintenace well get over it. if you have not noticed that there have been sever crashes, freezes,exploration vistas either dont exist for ex you arrived at an vista however nothing there, vista there not accsessable or accessable not completable. to other issiues that have arrised after last extensive maint and the ones that se did not have time to fix in i belive an 10hr maint. you say you want to be compensatied for this well i will say on the behalf of the community. an mmo is not for you . and plz ppl such as your self stop bashing se, communities and mods because of your displeasure. and for that anomally its part of the peoblem they are doing an maint. its like going to an gas station and yelling at the attendent to that you deserve free gas because of there is 3 broken pumps and you had to wait longer to fuel up. in this situ you have other options to get gas like wise with ffxiv there are other games to play while maint is going on i have ffx hd to fill in the time id sugg u do the same

You said it yourself, its just bad luck this affects you when you have time off to play, it sucks, but when the servers need an unexpected fix, they have to take em down before something actually bad happens, sometimes they can't let people know beforehand, they generally try to.

I remember when Moogle (and just Moogle) was down for emergency maintenance when I was in the middle of something for my FC, yeah it was lame but that's the way it is with MMO's. Square ultimately owes you no free game-time because you weren't free to play it at the time.

Besides, I am pretty sure you couldn't log in before maintenance, hence why it needed to be fixed.

Did they even list what they did with the hotfixes?

Send me a direction and i will give you 50 cents for your trouble

So you want to be compensated for the... $1 roughly, of game time you lost? Really? :/

If you're that hard up for money, maybe you shouldn't be spending that whopping $15 per month on the sub.

I'm sad.
I hoped SE would hotfix the error about handing out ilvl 210 in diadem and fixing the ilvl to 195. :(

Well servers are up and all I get is 90k error about 1 min after my character appears in game. Anyone else?
