So I thought I'd try my hand at some Thav Onions in my house gardens. It took two weeks or so to get enough crossbreeds for a plot full, then I planted them about 3-4 days ago as is... Not counting maintenance. And sure enough, even though I watered them right before servers went down, I logged in to a rotted garden. A million gil lost from this asinine oversight.

I have never in my life played an MMO that had time pass while servers weren't even running, and to log back in to this disgusted me enough to not even bother doing anything else. Literally the only way of avoiding this was "Don't touch your garden for an entire week" which is just as ridiculous, especially when there's no reasonable expectation that time would pass while it's not even online. Fix this in the future. Seriously.
