    well depends on the terms of their contract with them are. they might not be able to do that. you don't know what might or might not be in it. there could be massive penalties for breaking it on their end.

    Every contract worth a d@mn has a "expected workmanship" clause that basically says that if something isn't meeting a standard that a reasonable workman could perform it generally allows for restitution / resolution.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    Changing isp within a data center is far more difficult than for consumers or small businesses.

    Even if they are able to get released from the contract, there's the logistics of transferring their system infrastructure to a new one. They may be working on this behind the scenes and just can't say anything. Or might still be in some sort of negotiations. It's frustrating and I'm affected by it and do wish their was a bit more of some sort of acknowledgment, but I can also see where they may not be able to make changes quickly. Twelve knows even at my smaller business trying to make that sort of change takes time (and if you miss one path update suddenly your customers can't access the customer-facing application) so I can only imagine the red tape and headache at a larger scale.
