Crops lost

[ManuelBravo]

I don't understand, if you guys were aware that maintenance was coming up, why risk it? We have known for a while now about maintenance and planting crops knowing this would be coming up is a form of a gamble. While I have sympathy for your situation it's only logical to plan ahead being maintenance is always unpredictable. SE has a great reputation of finishing early at times, however mayor updates, relocations, should be a common sense flag that something has a chance to go wrong. Sorry if it offends you, but come on it's only fair for you to take responsibility for your own actions.

My expectations, as someone who has been working in the software industry for over a decade, would be for SE to limit the impact on all users as much as possible. I have performed more than one datacenter migration in my years and this would not have been acceptable. This should have been caught by the QA process of the migration.

Also, as per http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...0716040e34a5b6 : "Additionally, users will not need to take any special steps for this relocation."

If SE gives assurance I do not need to take special actions - I expect them to make sure it is correct.
