What? WoW's maintenance periods are usually three hours (11am to 2pm EST). Are you thinking of restarts? Most games average several hours for regular maintenance, most of them also doing it weekly. XIV doesn't have weekly maintenance and only has these day-long periods every few months during major patches. For that matter, major patches aren't always accompanied by 24-hour downtime. So if we could stop pretending this game has long, regular periods of downtime, that'd be great.

I swear, you guys are ridiculous. Not a single one of you would likely have been online for anywhere near that full 24 hours anyway even if the servers weren't down, so piss off with these threads already. If you want monetary compensation so badly, go dig around for forgotten loose change in your couch cushions. You'll probably find more crumb-caked change down there than what SE would owe you for a day's worth of maintenance.
