Excessive Maintenance

[Avenger]

Right now is my prime time. This is when I play the most, yet here I sit on the forums being entertained here because the server is down for maintenance. Do I complain? Fuck no. Because I am VERY happy that they are fixing stuff and getting back up instead of making fixes wait for some scheduled day next week. Get it down - get it fixed - get it back up!

Fair enough, but there's nothing stopping me from dreaming of an even better (or at least fairer) world where they might spread the maintenance inconvenience a bit across time zones. Or (in secret moments of selfish weakness) that they might go back to the FFXI schedule of maintenance at Japanese midnight... ;-)

But yeah, we are lucky that the game is doing so well and they are fixing the bugs and adding content.

And I completely understand your feelings. At least you word them like a wish or request, rather than some posters I have seen in this and other threads that make it seem like they have somehow been personally attacked or wronged by a maintenance update
