Do we get the day back?

Wow. I came late to the severe drama. I stopped reading after the first couple pages. Scheduled maintenance does not fall under compensation unless something goes severely wrong and data or computers explode in a ball of fire. In an example of what would fall under "compensation", I'm just going to throw this out there in regards to billing temporarily halted and put on hold in whole in the only time I experienced it years ago due to major earthquakes knocking Japan on its ass and many companies had to comply to shut down things unnecessary for survival for energy conservation, SE services included, since game servers are not high on the priority list in times of severe emergency: http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/pol...ews20541.shtml

times that by how ever many accounts are active in this game. That's a lot of money wasted. Thanks for the sarcastic responses. A simple yes or no would suffice.

You've been playing since 2013 which means you've had to sit through quite a lot opf 24hr down times. Did you ever get a refund then? nope. The popoto has every right to be sarcastic tbh xD

Chances are that it has something to do with SE having to go through Sony to get the patch out on the PS4/3 as well, which might take up some time.

Games that are exclusive to PC, like WoW, don't have this issue, meaning it takes less time to push content patches out.

The only thing that is distributed on the PS3/4 version of the game is the launcher and the base game and expansion. The patches are all downloaded using SE's own infrastructure. So to get the patch on PS3/PS4 we all need to launch the launcher, it updates, relaunch, login with SE account, patch starts downloading. Same as on PC.

The launcher itself "ffxivboot" is small so probably doesn't take an overly long time to get through whatever certification process Sony uses.

5. INTERRUPTION TO THE SERVICE
From time to time, in order to provide our customers with the optimal gaming experience, it is necessary for Square Enix to conduct routine maintenance on the computers and/or servers that support the Game. During these times, access to the Game or support services may be interrupted. Access may also be temporarily suspended in whole or in part, without notice, due to emergency repairs, fire, flood, explosion, war, strike, embargo, governmental action or failure to act, the act of any civil or military authority, act of God, or by any other causes beyond Square Enix's control, or any other reasons for which Square Enix, in its sole discretion, deems that temporary suspension is necessary. You acknowledge that disruptions of service may occur and waive any causes of action against Square Enix in any way arising from or related to any such disruptions of service.

I can't believe this this ludicrous sorry complaining keeps going on. Anyone who expects compensation for scheduled downtime is a complete and utter f'in moron, should get rid of any subscription or pay service they have at all, that includes cable, Netflix, power, water, etc, because all of those have times where they may not b available and you are not compensated for them.
Get a clue and grow the hell up.
