5 hour emergency maintenance with 10 minutes notice...

[KupoNuts]

Well I play all the time and not been seeing it. Could it be from poor internet connection or not seeing it on Sargantanas ?

It definitely must be poor internet connection. Every single person on Primal data center can't afford a decent one, therefore they constantly get 90K errors. (Note the sarcasm, please.)

This is my final response regarding this:

Lodestone Topic

Off topic, this has bugged me for a while. It stated matching for DF by Group, yet as a Sargatanasian, I have DF'd with Balmungers who are in the other group. Methinks it's actually done by datacentre, rather than group.

Please do continue with the exciting on topic comments now.

Yes hundreds (or thousands) of people with crappy internet that has been working up til now?

I highly doubt that's the problem.. Not my problem personally as I have hard wired 50MB FiOS connection. Now there has been some other problems with Verizion in particular, but that is another topic entirely.

This is more than likely a data center problem, since it seems there are several data centers experiencing the same problem.

Hence why I said OR not seeing it on Sargantanas.

The actual groups were changed in 2.1.

Data centers have been restructured to more evenly distribute server load.

Upon first logging in after installing patch 2.1, you will be prompted to select the data center corresponding to your character’s World. The new data centers and the Worlds belonging to each are as follows:

Elemental
Aegis / Atomos / Carbuncle / Garuda / Gungnir / Kujata / Ramuh / Tonberry / Typhon / Unicorn

Gaia
Alexander / Bahamut / Durandal / Fenrir / Ifrit / Ridill / Tiamat / Ultima / Valefor / Yojimbo / Zeromus

Mana
Anima / Asura / Belias / Chocobo / Hades / Ixion / Mandragora / Masamune / Pandaemonium / Titan

Aether
Adamantoise / Balmung / Cactuar / Coeurl / Faerie / Gilgamesh / Goblin / Mateus / Midgardsormr / Sargatanas / Siren / Zalera

Primal
Behemoth / Brynhildr / Diabolos / Excalibur / Exodus / Famfrit / Hyperion / Lamia / Leviathan / Malboro / Ultros

Chaos
Cerberus / Lich / Moogle / Odin / Phoenix / Ragnarok / Shiva

A data center selection menu has been added to the title screen.
If you have characters on multiple Worlds, please select the appropriate data center for the character you wish to play as before logging in.
If a record of your most recent login still remains, the appropriate data center will be selected automatically.

* Players with multiple accounts will also need to return to the title screen and select the appropriate data center before logging in with a different character.

I agree that there is a crapton of maintenance on this game. However the game is still, in my eyes, fairly new. Hopefully it starts to stabilize or they learn how to fix things without taking so long each time. Two hour emergency maintenance here and there makes sense to me, outside of the normal weekly maintenance. Five and eight hour emergency maintenance every other day does not once a MMO matures.

last number I heard was around 1.3 mil subs

Just out of curiosity I want to know where people keep getting that number from? You arent the only one that says FFXIV has around 1m+ subs.

When they released numbers some months ago, they said it was 600k active subs. I'm assuming its less than that now.

On topic: Boo maint, boo.

I thought people wanted to distance themselves from XI as much as possible, it's funny they keep bringing how that had its share of problems too as if that really has any point, good thing it's been more than 11 years since that game launched and there's been plenty of technological and server improvements over the years to prevent frequent maintenances like in the old da-oh.
