Maintenance Times?

[Vespar]

The prior part of your statement is true enough, but the latter seems very odd. I don't think MMOs fare very well if they never release patches with new content, particularly if they charge a monthly subscription fee. I think a subscription fee creates a reasonable expectation that there will be frequent content updates. If anything Square should be happy to have his continued patronage.

What I meant is that we could have been sitting here waiting until 3.0 for any kind of new content, but I didn't say that because it seemed unnecessary. I stick by my original comment; people should be happy that we are getting frequent updates even if it does mean that someone gets a poor maintenance time window.
At this point however, we are just arguing the semantics regarding people's posts. I am assuming because we all have nothing better to do?

Speaking of which, I'm going to do something productive for the next 10 hours. Like read and maybe catch up on housework. Ciao~

Sorry I just have to point something out here.

Every major patch the same thread pops up.

Aye, and true for every MMO in existence. BUT at least this poster was friendly about it and not flaming like most of the "OMGZ. DIS SURVUR DOWNAGE ISH SO BADZ! LETZ ME ON NOWS!" Actually my quote there was heavily altered to be readable, unlike the gibberish that actually gets posted by these kids.

Can doesn't mean "should".

Really not a large issue. Gives you time to do other things if your attention is so greatly focused into this game lol

lol I sometimes wonder if SE does these large maintenance times to prevent people from binge gaming and dying like this guy...

Though 3-5 days straight is insane. I can barely stay awake for 12 hours :P

P.S> Obviously Im kidding about the maintenance length times here, but seriously if you are gaming for three days straight... atleast take a nap :P

I was just happy to see that unlike (I think all) previous major content patches this maintenance is a mere 12 hours instead of 24!

I think the progression patches ( 2.2, 2.4) are 24 hours while the more relaxing patches are 12 hours (2.1, 2.3, 2.5)

Or maybe its just that they are the odd numbered patches :P
