5 hour emergency maintenance with 10 minutes notice...

[Billzey]

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.

Yes, I'm sure over 20% of the people with PS4s are playing FFXIV. That's a perfectly reasonable assumption.

Just out of curiosity I want to know where people keep getting that number from? You arent the only one that says FFXIV has around 1m+ subs.

When they released numbers some months ago, they said it was 600k active subs. I'm assuming its less than that now.

On topic: Boo maint, boo.

1.8million was cited in a recent interview... Someone else can provide the link as I have forgotten where it was.
That's for accounts though, and not necessarily active subs.

It is currently 1.8 Mil players. Let aside that the official Site has it labeled with that number, you wonder where people get those numbers from? I wonder where you get 600k from...

My Source: click

Interview with Yoshi from this Month and just the quote you are interested in:

"The numbers are pretty impressive: a total of 1.8 million players, who've made 6.71 million characters, and played for over 400 million hours' (about 1.57 million years) worth of gameplay time."

Don't bother trying to log in until the maintenance notice is completed. The servers that do say they are online will just get you kicked off as you try logging in.

[Waeksyn]

Yup. Everything is back to normal. Log in after the maintenance and BAM! - immediate 90K.
