New Maintenance :D

[Vorien]

Anyone ever hear of the expression "Don't spit in my face and tell me it's raining."? Its starting to feel like we got a Beta Phase 5, but told this "Early Access" is a reward for pre-ordering. Spending half of this supposed EA perk not being able to play feels like I just got taken for a ride.

Wow didn't know 2-3 hours was half of 96 hours who knew.

For the people who don't know hot long this maintenance will last

so, when does Yoshi-P make it official that Early access is really Beta phase 5?

Seriously guys, it's time to start provisioning a crap-ton of new hardware for this.

Can we simply create chars in JP servers? Aparently JP servers are problem-proof cuz they dont have problems... ever!

I don't understand how you all are able to log in at all still. The NA/EU servers are totally down for me and this is what is posted: While we estimate the time frame of the maintenance to be around two and a half hours, we will do our best to complete the maintenance as soon as possible.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.

[Date & Time]

* The completion time may be subject to change.

Also this as well:
We are currently experiencing technical difficulties wherein players cannot access the Excalibur World on FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn.

The issue is being addressed, and new updates will follow as additional information becomes available.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

I was getting Error 10102 and 90000 one hour and thirty minutes ago but 2 minutes before the maintenance I was able to start the game, so I rushed to a sanctum and logged out...

On the ball as always? Hah! More like "if this launch goes off with any major problems this MMO is done and we wasted millions of dollars". Right now SE could care less about us players. They're scared to death the game is gonna look bad and people will just ignore it given the reputation 1.0 had. People are trying to play it for reviews ATM and these game breaking issues isn't exactly a good selling point. They're scrambling like crazy to fix it because first impressions are lasting ones and FF14 is playing on super thin ice. This better be fixed today or I see another flop. (And I absolutely love 2.0, ya know except for the bugs they keep completely ignoring.)

Like this man has said, if this isn't fixed for tomorrow, FF14:ARR's future is going to be a very, very dark future. The press has a lot of power over MMOs because a lot of people decide to buy them or not depending on reviews. And "a completely unplayable early access due to bugs and overloaded servers" isn't a really nice selling point.

We are loving FFXIV 2.0 to death. Everyone hold your love back!
