are servers down? Or did I just get 90 KO'd

get 90k'd and kicked no na or eu servers, can't seem to find any info on whether the server is down or what.

Same thing happened to me on Coeurl, got 90,000'd and can't see any NA/EU servers. Alas.

blah looks look emergency maintenance took us out, welp heres hoping tomorrow I can actually get some play time in!

this is called Maintenance... they said there is one from 12 AM to 1:30 AM EDT

They're on maintenance right now. Back in 1 hour or so.

The servers are now "officially" down, despite 90% of the early player base not being to log in due to restriction log ins all day today.

They should of just brought the servers down early today and fix the issue. This is really frustrating....

Erathar, I was able to play throughout maintenance the other night, wasn't sure if they actually were taking the server down this time or if I got hit by the 90k bug. I am not concerned tomorrow should "Hopefully" be better.

9pm - 10:30pm PDT. So we have about 1(+) hour(s) wait. Lol.

If they're going to do things like this, they could at the very least say something somewhere instead of leaving us to assume what's going on. :(

Actually they announced that a maintenance was going to occur.

Strange, according to the World list all Serves are up.

Got kicked from Excalibur barely 2 min on it. Probably login restrictions again. :/

This could depend on what exactly is on maintenance. Was it the lobby , the login server ? Even if they are down , if you're connected to a server, you may be able to stay online ( well .. I think ! ) .

I suppose they've put every server down in order to upgrade all their server and network infracstructure, which wouldnt be a bad thing IMHO.

Sorry can someone post a link to where they announced this? I can't seem to find info on this maintenance

It doesn't look like they put this announcement on the forums/lodestone/twitter. But there was an ingame notification about it about 30 mins prior to them taking the servers down.

Yeah, I'm kind of wondering why there's a Maintenance forum if SE isn't actually going to post about maintenance periods there. This isn't the first time that something's been on the launcher or in-game but not on the forums (and when I'm in-game, I can't really check the launcher easily for updates).

Thanks for the reply.

Edit: Erathar, do you have a link? Where was it posted?

Edit: I checked the launcher about 30 min back and didn't see anything about a maintenance right now either. Wondering where they post this stuff.

Ok, then what does this mean? (found on lodestone news) I can't seem to find the NA/EU servers in game, but it says they're all online.... Confused.

I guess we will be forced to play on a Japanese server if we want to play since they have no issues what's so ever.

I mean on the servers/in the game/the client/something not on a website because having to refresh a dev page all the time doesn't strike me as convenient.

Unless they did that, of course, then I guess I missed it.

I guess someplace consistent would also be nice...

why japan servers work so well??

NA/US servers are in Canada and run by canadians, thats why the servers are so bad ^^.

Likely it is because the U.S. has 2.5x the population of Japan.

servers are back up, but now the world is full. I cannot catch a break.
