yo I'm dumb but is it 24 hours for maintenance? (not complaining)

Hey i just need to know. I took a nap and sat at the pc for three hours now playing some other games but if it is for 24 hours, then I don't see anything stating that online, and I'd just like to know, because I could go do something else right about now and make good use of my time if the servers arent just about to come back online in the next few moments.

thanks

it's said July 4-5 so I assume so.

Yes, it started at 3am PDT on July 4, and goes until 3am PDT July 5.

When in doubt, the Lodestone has all information regarding upcoming(within a week roughly) and on going maintenances near the ribbon with all the drop downs under the Special Notices heading, so that you don't need to worry about someone giving wrong information/trolling.

sweet, thanks. i guess i can make it to my sisters BBQ then. to me ffxiv>BBQ because i work a lot, but whatever. gonna crank up the old non-work SUV. *honk* *honk*

You should see information about this in the launcher. Just in case you miss it, it prompts you with the information days in advance whenever you login. You can see it any time by visiting the lodestone.

Literally the only thread I've seen so far about maintenance that isn't "waaaaah, why isn't America important!?!?"...

In (some) of our defense not everyone in my country thinks the entire universe revolves around a country in North America. I'm just chilling doing other games or youtube, etc while a cat screams at me for attention.

Hardware is being installed. It takes a while.

Oh you poor thing. Yes. This maintenance is 24 hours. They have to install four new worlds and implement cross data center travel. It's a lot of work to be done! Servers are supposed to be back online by 3 AM, PST on July 5th. I feel like I should be able to find other things to do rn, but I'm on my last day of isolation from COVID (thanks dad) so I'm kinda stuck in my room rn and don't have many places I can go to do things. Tomorrow. Tomorrow I will be FREE! (With limitations).
