Silly question: Why NA servers will go into a big maint if only europe will move?

[Linkan]

As the tittle. Any idea?

[Archaell]

I would expect that they need to connect EU servers to US ones.

Also after moving the EU servers they might as well do a little bit of clean up.

[DragonFlyy]

Might be because currently all that data is on the NA servers, and need to move it off. Usually to move information from one sever to another it requires the files to not be in use, IE. disconnect the server then move the files.

If you on the chaos data center it will be

Oct. 18, 2015 5:00 p.m. to Oct. 20, 2015 3:00 a.m. (PDT) (34 hours)

If you on other worlds it will only be

Oct. 19, 2015 5:00 p.m. to Oct. 20, 2015 3:00 a.m. (PDT) (10 hours)

They have to disconnect the servers because NA is getting new servers and EU is getting the old crappy ones.

As previously announced in Topics, in order to accompany transfer of the Chaos Data Center to Europe and improvements to the World Transfer system for all Worlds, maintenance will be performed during the time below. During this period, FINAL FANTASY XIV will be unavailable.

My guess is it's 1) to move data off the current servers and 2) to implement the improvements to the transfer system.

A little bit jelly of our brand new servers aren't you? :P

They are probably from the second hand store anyway >.> /jk

[Colorful]

We also haven't had a mainteance in what now, over a month? Not the biggest deal if we get a somewhat long one. Japanese servers are also going down for maint. even though they're not transferring any data from them.

[AskaRay]

Well I mean the alternative was taking the whole game off for 34 hours instead of the NA servers getting only ten down.
So
yeah

[Brill_]

Is 3.08 going in with this?
