Sony and Square Enix Shame on You!

[Tiggy]

When there is an influx of people playing video games it is a bad time for maintenance. <--- The point

Perhaps statements like

How about instead you give your employees off early on this fine Christmas Eve like 99% of the other businesses world wide and stop jacking with prime gaming time!

completely distracted from your point and made you come off as nothing more than a whiner more concerned about the holiday for people working. So if I so misunderstood your message I would encourage you to use your words to better convey what you actually mean in the future. Any misunderstandings are because you failed to convey what you actually meant, or maybe you didn't and you're backtracking after everyone jumped down your throat. Who knows.

As for Square they went down for maintenance pretty late at night. So if you were on the west coast the servers went down around 9pm. If you're on the east cost they went down at midnight. Near the end of the day for one coast and completely at the end of the day for the other coast. If that little bit at the end of the day ruined Christmas then honestly you probably need to rethink how you celebrate. FFXIV isn't that important.

As for Sony if it was a DDoS then people should be mad at the hackers who thought it was a good idea to interrupt Christmas for people. Still not a Square problem. Even if it was Sony it's entirely pointless to even bring it up here. Seems petty to even mention it here since it wouldn't change a thing. It's good to complain on Sony's forum for Sony problems, but pretty ridiculous to complain about Sony problems on the Square forum.
