Square Enix is granting you freedom from XIV just like George Washington granted you freedom from the British. Rejoice!

I love the image of Washington taking Great Britain down for server maintenance.

man just go buy a cheap pack of hotdogs and watch your neighbors blow themselves up with bootleg fireworks.

Stick little mini fireworks in the hotdogs and pass them out so they blow up in people's faces.

People complaining about no FF14 on July 4th while I'm here like I work all day on July 4th.

Oh yeah. American holiday. Here I was all pleased it was on a Monday because that's one of two days I barely get to play anyway.

I don't really care about holidays personally, but I kinda thought people would be too busy doing fourth of July... stuff? I know you guys do fireworks, no idea what else.

BBQs, Hanging with Family and Friends, getting heart Attacks when Animals get loose because the loud noises freak them out.
Praying it doesnt rain, and then wondering how much longer are people gonna fire off fireworks PAST 4th of July and fill the air with gunpowder

And given that this is scheduled maintenance, they couldn't adopt a more customer-friendly practice of not scheduling them on a day that coincides with a big holiday for a large portion of their player base? Hardly the first time they've done this, and won't be the last I'm sure. But clearly, I'm the jerk for calling them out on this.

If they needed to aknowledge every holy day in every last country, that would be a mess... You're not a jerk for calling them out, but that's just bad timing. They just don't care, not because they hate 'muricans, but simply because the 4th of july is a Monday and they need to patch their game for the patch release on Tuesday.

Why THAT Tuesday ? Probably because the patch wasn't finished yersteday, and because I'm pretty sure if you told people "Nah, no patch until next week because 'muricans need to play the game on the 4th of july", we'd have far more people crying about it on the forum.

This again ?
Crying and Whining won't decrease maintenance time even a single second, you know ?

[Fyrebrand]

I'm so sorry, when I found out they were initially going to do the maintenance on Canada Day (July 1st) I called up Yoshi-P and asked if he could nudge it back a few days so I could play. Sorry, America! Please look forward to July 5th!
