Start Heavensward with a bang!

So how many people can gather together in the same place without the server going down?

If the gold saucer is any indication, not enough.

Ironically I play on Leviathan. ^_^

I should be able to be there. No guarantee though, but don't have anything planned that day.

Sadly enough i won't be able to make it to the party i am trying to organize. For this to work everyone needs to spread the idea through their FC, and friends. Not everybody reads the forums frequently myself included

Well only one way to find out!

[kyuven]

i would plan for the 17th, not the 18th. Given this is the largest content update since launch and they've already stated the start of Early Access is 2 AM on the 19th, it might be safe to say the 18th is going to be one hell of a long patch day.

I am too lazy to start something like that on Ragnarok. But I am jelous of your great idea. Record it please.

[Alexia89]

It's a safe bet the game will launch on the 19th like it's supposed to.

Whether it stays launched is another matter entirely.

Think you missed the point lol. What they were meaning is we don't know when the servers are going down for the pre-3.0 maintenance. It could be from Tuesday til launch for all we know.
However, scheduling it for the 18th is a pretty poor decision regardless- as far as possible maintenance windows go, that has the highest likelihood of being in it. We've had a 24 hours maintenance window in the past just for a content patch- pretty safe assumption that the 3.0 downtime will be at least that too. Not to mention allowing people ample time to download the rather large chunk of data required to play.
I'm having a party with a couple FCs on my server on the Monday to play it safe.

Servers are going down on 18th so...

I suppose we should try and aim for the 17th? Wouldn've been nice to be able to host this late in the night like just before Maintance but my time zone sucks :P Lets just have a party for the full day O:
Okays - if your on Levi and see a crazy cat lady don't worry about it too much :3

[Caiera]

Servers are down for maintenance on 18th June 02:00am (PDT) until 19th June 02:00am (PDT)
So 17th would be a better idea, I shall come along on my Alt and join the festivities

[Hieral]

What they really needed to do was lock all the new content behind a portal, something like a great gate or door- maybe connected to a long bridge, a place where everyone will be meeting at. . . . :P

Although at least in this case the door will probably be open on login, lol.

Aka the Gates of Judgment. I'm already logged out there.
