Says all world maintenance

[Daralii]

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.

It does say that on the launcher, under special notices.

[Maintenance] NA Data Center Expansion Maintenance (Apr. 22, 23)

Just wanna point out that this might be where some of the confusion is coming from:


It's the first notice about maintenance on The Lodestone.

All 3 of the maintenance posts say 6:00PM to 3:00AM (One for The Lodestone, one for the Mogstation, one for All Worlds)

And if you scroll down just one more you see a fourth Maintenance warning post listing the times for NA only. SE warned us about this one first:

My bad. I see it. There was several notices about maintenance. Is this going to make the server more populated or something?

Make sure you are looking at the right notices. There is more than one applicable maintenance notice.

NA servers are planned to be down for maintenance Apr. 22, 2019 3:00 a.m. to Apr. 23, 2019 3:00 a.m. (PDT)
All servers will be down for maintenance Apr. 22, 2019 6:00 p.m. to Apr. 23, 2019 3:00 a.m. (PDT)

So first the NA servers go down for the data center split, then they do maintenance and apply Patch 4.57 on all servers.

OH, ok my bad I thought the second message was replacing the first message. i was in the middle of a raid, guess I wasn't the only one who misread the post, otherwise I would have waited to do the raid...........

It's written there under special notices...

Oh, I knew the 3AM maintenance was coming, just trying to clear up some confusion, as that post appears lower on the list on The Lodestone.
People are most likely clicking the first [Maintenance] post about worlds, and expecting that to be the times.

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...

What an adult response.

This is what the end result will look like:


Based on census figures from November, the population split(for characters with at least one job at 70) would be 101k/99k/92k. It's mostly to make things easier to manage on SE's end.

It also says "subject to change". As it always does.

Those who missed the Hatching Tide event as a result of thinking they could log in after school/work today to finish it up real quick only have themselves to blame. The event was live for nearly two weeks, and the notification for the maintenance schedule went out a week ago. You are also notified in-game when you log in 24-hours prior to servers going down. SE cannot be faulted for player's procrastination.

If you know maintenance is coming, it is best to not wait to the last minute and get done what you need done the day before; not the day of. This applies with weekly resets as well for tomes, raid pennies/crystalloids and loot, elite marks, custom deliveries, the whole nine yards. This is a minor consequence, so learn from it now. You procrastinate like this with matters IRL, the repercussions can and usually will be much more severe.
