Please don't end up like these couples (Inform yourself before making decisions)

[KodiHivaer]

What am I looking at?

The highlighted text shows players that reserved at the time maintenance happens
Somewhere on every server, there's a group of players that will be angry at SE when maintenance hits on their ceremony date (Despite the fact that SE gave in-game and external warnings) about scheduling on the exact day and time(s) maintenance begins.

Players should read the fine print before making these decisions, so that they won't end up angry.

Edit: Thanks to a Reddit user, they have a screenshot showing that the maintenance times were posted BEFORE RESERVATIONS WENT UP and the previous screenshot I posted was after changes were made.

I'm sure they can reschedule the event so it's really no big deal. I mean it might be if they wanted that time but at least they can still get married without paying money again.

They had no way of knowing this when they reserved last Friday. That information is only up since today. But yeah, still sucks to be them.

[Massterchef]

They'd need a crystal ball to 'inform' themself considering they made reservations last friday..

This was posted on the 12th, they could've avoided this considering that message was displayed ingame aswell.

It's honestly somewhat silly that we need to schedule marriages in the game in advance anyway. What other type of content requires you to let the game know in advance that you're planning to enter a zone separate from the rest of the world to watch a cutscene with some friends? It's not like a GM is needed to take care of the proceedings or anything, or that the chapel zone influences the rest of the outside world.

The chapel zone is open to anyone who wants to go in and preview their ceremony preferences, talk to the last NPCs before booking, etc.

The chapel instance is capable of hosting the largest number of concurrent player characters, in an instance, at any time. Frontlines is 3 teams of 24 and that is still less than 80 guests plus the two hosting.

How do you ensure the maximum number of attendees for what some consider a fairly important event? You schedule it in advance like you would anything else. It only makes sense.

Oh yeah? I would like to know. Give me the link. Because as of Thursday Dec 11, this is the only information that we had back then.
They only admitted of the screw up after all the spots had been filled.
Even before 2.45, SE never made an official announcement of scheduled maintenance that will take place in two weeks. Most are usually rumors and speculation.

No, the date it says it was posted is on the 16th. Date is displayed US style (they have to be different:P) month:day: year. 12:16:2014. The 16 should have given it away as last time I checked, there isn't 16 months in a year, not even a leap year :P
