I do understand that bugs and glitches do happen, that's why I don't really comment nor create threads like this. In fact, this is my first thread.

Creating this because this week is really an exceptional week of failures, especially at the Japan's Data Centre front. I have to say it is very rare for the servers to fail for 4 consecutive days where the various emergency maintenance failed to nail the bug. JP side saw a 6 hr long extended emergency maintenance last night (according to JST) and in less than half a day, it has to be pulled down again for an estimated of 3 hours (on going as time of this post).

I'm really curious about it. Not really complaining here (since there were enough of complaint posts) but as I came from IT/networking/telecommunications background/industry, such prolonged occurrence of the "same bug" (used the inverted commas because we are not sure what's the exact bug, but to players like us, nature of the bug is the same - 90,000 and 10,105) despite multiple and daily emergency maintenance is really rare. I could have considered it catastrophic if it's a telco's network servers failing like this (but yeah, this is a game).

Any devs or community reps would like to shed some light on this? Something wrong with the 2.16 patch? It's kinda worrying especially with 2.2 around the corner.
