There isn't going to be a "huge 7th umbral era event". the servers are just going to go down for maintenance and your save data will be locked in. Enjoy Halloween.
How do you know this? Why would they leave the servers up for 10 days, take them down then bring them up again unless something was going to happen? They'd have an easier time leaving them up. I'm actually expecting something during that period, because if they have to shut them down for a few days after it means they'll revert the world to a safer point in history. If something happens right before the final save I don't want to miss a beat.

If you're either too dense or too ignorant to read the lodestone newspapers, you probably don't know that all three Grand Companies are converging on Mor Dhona. So far we have seen nothing of that, so it'll either happen just before the final save or during the 10-11 days of unsaved play time thereafter.
