Not sure, but whatever it is, 9 hours of maintenance is a little excessive for two new emotes and one beast tribe...

Woke up this morning thinking i could play some FFXIV, found it to be stuck in maintenance.

It was supposed to be from 4 am to 10 am, it's close to 1 pm already.

My bet is that they forgot that B ranks dropped Bloody Logs and that people were mass-farming them all up now 5 seconds in between.
