July 4th 24 hr Maintenance

[Kaurhz]

Going outside or playing other games is such a tragic course of events.

i dare you to eat a scorpion

I had a lollipop with a candied scorpion inside once. They taste smokey.

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

So basically Guy Fawkes night. But with bbq.

Wait what holiday is on that day?

Holidays ?

Ah, again one of those thread where the OP think they're the center of the world, and don't realize an international game can't satisfy everybody in this aspect ?

Wait what holiday is on that day?

According to the Almanac it's "Jackfruit Day".

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!

thank you. would have had to be friendly and do national holiday things

always love these ME ME ME threads. I mean, if they want something to champion, why not raise a fuss about ALL the people that have to work on the holidays they winge about? never once seen someone complain about maint on their day off, or a holiday, who also include the MANY other who cant play because the poster may need to go to 7-11 for a slurpee.

thanks to capitalism, holidays are not really for everyone any more. someone ALWAYS has to work.

Not a major holiday. 1 Country celebrates it. One. Not a major holiday. Not even close. Also, I suggest you check the numbers on the majority of where this game is played in a single country. It isn't the US. Surprise!

Just curious, but where did you get your numbers? According to https://ffxivcensus.com/ almost half of the characters are in America, and America has more than twice the number of characters as Japan and more than one and a half the number of characters as Europe. As a data nut I am always interested in such things. Look forward to your source of information as well. Thanks in advance for sharing.

Worldwide: 26,182,117
America: 12,701,623 (48.51%)
Japan: 5,532,619 (21.13%)
Europe: 7,797,475 (29.78%)

Based on those numbers the majority of the games population is not from the US.
Regardless tho it's hard to find real data on this, especially with people who don't have a Lodestone profile etc.
This is also accounts I believe and not active players.

It doesn't really change anything even if say the US playerbase made up for 51%.
It's still a Japanese studio and it's still ridiculous to expect them to reschedule things because there's a holiday in the US.
