That's the lobby server not the world server.

Hey kids.

NA data center is back up according to the lodestone. Now dry your tears of entitlement and go play. I'll see you all this evening along with the rest of the adults when we get home from work.

Good one being productive and browsing Final fantasy XIV forums while at work, you sure are mature an exemplary worker.

It's called lunch time, Chuckles.

Why is being frustrated about the absurd amount of downtime make paying customers kids? And as far as entitled...your damn straight. If I pay for a service, I expect a service. This game has been down 25 hours since I joined less than a week ago. That is excessive and absurd. We all understand that there will be downtime. But the frequency is off the chart. That is what people are complaining about. It's not like people are complaining about the single 2 hour window this has been down this week and everything has been flawless in between. I have personally experienced stability problems, 90k errors, huge queues, all things you would expect from a launch week.

"Absurd amount" - Like FFXI, this game has the most uptime, handful of hours of downtime compared to the uptime leaves absolutely ZERO reason to complain. What should be complained about, however, is the fact most MMOs and even XI updates much faster than XIV does.

In the first few years of FFXI it didn't update well at all. It was a long process that scanned your files first. If it failed you had to start over with a fresh scan. The update servers were being hammered and would they themselves would begin to fail. This went on for years.

Should have been playing around launch.. There was 25 hours of downtime each day lol

(yes, I know a day is 24 hours..)

That being said, I started thinking about it.. There have been, what, 5 million+ PS4's sold? ARR beta is available to everyone, it's possible there are more people playing beta than there are current subscribers (last number I heard was around 1.3 mil subs).. Seems to me that could lead to the same launch week-type problems we had before.
