Says all world maintenance

[Aramina]

Really not happy. I came back to the game today after a break and had an achievable deadline for completing the Hatching Tide event, only for the servers to go down earlier than initially posted. This clash means that now I’ll have to wait for the Spriggan out to appear on the Mogstation so that I can complete the set, and this also means an expense that I shouldn’t of had to pay extra for. Thanks devs.

They didn't go down early. On the 15th, they posted the exact time maintenance would start.

Kick up your feet and enjoy Forum Day 2019.

And i know not everyone reads the forums, but since this IS the forums... link... they even specifically warned that maintenance would end the hatching tide event early for NA players. With a bad pun in there about the outfit, but a specific warning all the same.

they think 1 day of play time is good enough for taking down our servers for 24+ hours, I am a adult that finally found time to get on... and now they take that away from me.... thanks for nothing...

... They give you 24 hours of sub time because the game is unavailable for 24 hours. I'm not sure what your point is.

Well since 1 day is 24 hours, yes they wisely think that is good enough. Also, as an adult, you should have been aware this was happening and planned accordingly.

No offense, but it's not SE's fault. The information was there from the beginning. You just didn't notice it and/or didn't read thoroughly enough.

Right? SE should have called you to confirm your availability. How dare they schedule their maintenance of OUR servers during your free time. Bunch of jerks.

So I'm apparently stuck on a realm that is down for a whole day? Sure wish it would have said that on the launcher. All it said was all worlds would be in maintenance until 3 AM PDT.
