^---- thats about what im thinking.

It isn't removed, I just loaded the patcher and there it is.

Edit: Haha, apparently it was temporarily taken down to remove the [Follow-up] tag. Oh, the things SE finds to care about enough to fix instantly.

Perhaps they weren't suppose to release it yet, or to lump it in with another one down the pipe. Perhaps not if it's on the launcher still aha

Something else probably crashed, and will take another day to fix.

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...66#post1068766 was just posted like 2 mins ago on twitter

I'd love to know what they have planned this time.. maybe more HD defragmentation? upgrading ram from 128 megs to 256?
one and half hours maint isn't going to do anything.

I would prefer they keep trying than have the servers stay as they are.

hour and a half could serve enough time to replace several non-driver using pieces of hardware.. There is more than enough time. Perhaps half the servers went down and they are limiting access due to half/working datacenters atm. You really never know.. Sounds like a team will be replacing a certain piece of hardware, or perhaps implementing the que software again.. There are a number of short term fixes that can be accomplished in an hour and a half.... lol

Well the post is back up on the sites now, so we will see if they actually get this fixed. I just thought it was strange at the time that the posted it, and then removed it right away.

Except for the fact that their fixes seem to be making it worse.

Not sure why they are making an announcement, I have not been able to get in all day.

Hour and a Half to brief their replacements.

honestly I think its the heavy server congestion thats making it worse... when they were restricting login access and slowly increasing it the servers were quite stable. I got in after spamming login for hours about 2 hours ago. So they have had to watch the servers carefully while they increased capacity to isolate the issue... which makes sense since most of the issues like 3102/90000 are all login/disconnection related.

Interesting. I didn't know that SE had their NA/EU Data Center be at Parks Hall in Western Washington University. THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!

At least the maint will let me log in right after and I can idle with my character when I go to sleep, can't be that bad right?
