5 hour emergency maintenance with 10 minutes notice...

[Xaosyn]

Yup getting 90ked as well.
Will we have another emergency maintenance?

[Toonces]

Not yet "up". You login and 90k within a minute.

[Reishi]

Either 90k or "Server full: Players in queue: -[.....]"

[Tiggy]

You misunderstand. These are not people leaving the Free company except by removal for inactivity. And that number is real.

20-30 players removed for 30 days of inactivity every single week.

There is nothing wrong, and a LOT good about our free company. This number is due to players resigning from the GAME leaving their characters enrolled on the FC.

Oh so they aren't leaving. Someone doesn't play for 30 days and you boot them then act like they left. You do realize sometimes people have real life issues to attend to? Our FC had someone leave for 40 days due to work and a surgery. They returned eventually and they are still a member of the guild. (this is just one of several examples I could list) You can't use kicking people as a proxy for them leaving. It is not the same thing.

Hmm 26,858 players in queue for Hyperion right now.

Hey kids.

NA data center is back up according to the lodestone. Now dry your tears of entitlement and go play. I'll see you all this evening along with the rest of the adults when we get home from work.

Good one being productive and browsing Final fantasy XIV forums while at work, you sure are mature an exemplary worker.

It's called lunch time, Chuckles.

Yes, there are situations like that,though fairly rare, and maybe once a month we have someone return to us.

It's still a better thing than a big fluffy member count when those people are in fact, inactive and never to return.

Don't bother trying to log in until the maintenance notice is completed. The servers that do say they are online will just get you kicked off as you try logging in.

[Waeksyn]

Yup. Everything is back to normal. Log in after the maintenance and BAM! - immediate 90K.
