NA/EU Servers Offline

[skitzopath]

you are aware that it is a holiday and that there is noone in the office right?

You are aware that Square Enix is a Japanese company and the only holidays in Japan in September are: third Monday of September (national holiday) Respect for the Aged Day (keiro no hi):
Respect for the elderly and longevity are celebrated on this national holiday. And around September 23 (national holiday) Autumn Equinox Day (shubun no hi): Graves are visited during the week (ohigan) of the Equinox Day.

How about respect for paying customers day?

I am actually in the game right now and there are more people standing around AFK then there are active players.

I for one would be happy to take my chances on trying to get in again if they would just do a complete reboot of the servers to give everyone who has been trying to get in a fair shot at playing.

I think that's an excellent idea. just do a server flush and the people who are AFK or have been for hours and hours will be taken off and gives people a chance to log in, because the AFKers wont even realize they've been removed.

Again I am fully aware that SE is a JP comapny, but it seems that noone is looking at :

In observance of Labor Day, live support via the North American SQUARE ENIX Support Center will be closed on September 2, 2013.

Live support via the SQUARE ENIX Support Center will resume at 9:00 (PDT) on September 3, 2013.

FINAL FANTASY XI and FINAL FANTASY XIV GM support will continue to be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We thank you for your understanding.

Also I'm sure that the JP staff will get those days off for thier respected holidays, and I'm 99% sure that if and when there is an issue in the game the forums will be filled with players bitching and crying and what not that the staff should not have a single day off and that holidays aren't allowed so long as the game is up and running. This is clearly a no win situation for anyone.

Here's just hoping the new servers fix the problem.

they should but the queues will not go down untill they offer free transfer to spread the load, as i cant see many people who say got their toon to mid 20s or max level starting all over again.

going to try logging in at 1am, since im working nightshift and it may be quieter i can at least get some playtime.

sorry to be the bearer of bad news but because they are eu na servers there is no quiet time....its prime time in one of the time zones no matter what time you play (for the most part)

im a patient person, il admit that but i have to agree with some of the peoples posts here.

it is rather amusing how, you click start and you get 1017 even before you select a character

its amusing how you try to log on and in a split second it tells you that the NA/EU servers are not connecting yet it takes forever for the JP servers to time out and even when that happens you run the risk of getting a 2002 error

all we can do is keep trying and wait for tomorrow to see if things get fixed

After trying all day, I find I have been able to get on around 10pm to 11pm PST. Usually, I just play until I pass out. Rest assured though, my comp has an idle timer so it kicks me when I do. It wouldn't be decent of me to just sit there and not let anybody else play.
