Should I take Friday the 16th off?

I only work 5 hours on Friday.....not by choice. I rather work 12.

A golden rule people should follow more often: Never take a day off on release day.
It happens quite often in alot of games that the servers will crash and sometimes the servers might be up for an hour or two the whole day if you put the time together.

I've read so many hate posts, threats for ones life and even trying to bring in lawyers since they paid to play but can't.
Complaining how they took a day or two off and not being able to play.

Yeppers. Now, I'm disabled so I have the day off already but I'm not planning on getting much play time in on Friday. The servers are going to be packed!

The game will take anything from 5 hours to 10 to download, no point in taking the day off.

DL is probably going to be up Thu during maintenance.

Friday is a bridge day for me. So I have the day of anyway, as my company is generally closed on bridge days. Lucky me.

I scheduled the 16th off as well as leaving work 2 hours early on the 15th to do weekend chores. I plan on getting up an hour in advance and, assuming it wasn't available before I went to bed, starting the download.
Should have enough time then to shower and head to WalMart for snacks. Thank goodness for 24 hour WalMarts. Once I'm on, it's time to grind, because samurai. See how far I get before tabletop night. I'll probably need the break!

Mm... TT nights. I miss those.

I feel a better golden rule would be to keep your expectations in check. I took the day off this Friday due to how smoothly Heavensward (even on Balmung) went but with that being said while I will be disappointed if the servers explode, it is to be expected. If you are able to take the day off and play uninterrupted them that's just icing on the cake of a three day weekend.

Sure, that works aswell.
But alot of people expect it to run smoothly like it used to before the launch.
And when it doesn't they rage, and some rage too much.
