24 hours maintenance

[WinterLuna]

Square Enix actually have no obligation to give you information about down time and can shut the servers down right now if they wanted to. That's what you agreed to when you accepted the terms and conditions of the game.

OMG get over it. Every single time they release a patch with a lot of cool new content, everyone is subjected to someone like you complaining and whining because the game is shutting down for a small period of time.

Nice to see the friendly people on this game are being friendly on the boards. Imagine how friendly they'll be on maintenance day when they have no other outlet for their friendliness!

the tone of replies are usually set by the op. had the posts made by op been less inflamatory, the replies would have been less stabbing.

If you water your plants just before the servers go down, they'll be fine.

The fact that SE can do a major Patch like this in 24 hour's is very impressive,most wouldn't complain if they know what went into these updates and what is reqired to implement them both Client and server side of the data-center. Not to mention quality cheks to ensure every-thing works as intended.

Not impressive at all. Most other MMORPGs have less than 12 hours downtime even for major updates.

I agree with this >.<

Gardening is no longer affected by patches. You won't lose anything. After the maintenance is finished and you log back, it will be as if you were never gone. They adressed the gardening issue with crops going to waste due to long patches some time ago.

Really? couldnt you tell me this last week before i filled my 3 gardens with 40k seeds and 45k soils? gonna lose everything, thanks a lot

If you're worried, water the plants before maintenance begins, then get back on when servers are up again to water them again.

That's assuming they didn't already take into account things like that previously as some people say.

Though Square usually manages to finish maintenance earlier than expected unless something bad happened. They always give lengthy time frames as a buffer "just in case"
