That would be like a 33+ hour maintenance for me in Fla. WTF is going on?

The dates for the NA DC split were announced almost 2 months ago. They also made another post stating the times for the maintenance here https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...ede8c253c9720b

2 months ago is not last night or today. I wish now I never planted those thavnairian onions. This sucks.
Just saying they should of put a reminder out there on the log in last when they posted for the maintenance today.
2 months back, I can't remember last week.

They freeze time during server downtime. Your onions should* be fine

They also posted it a week ago. You not making a note of it when it would impact your game play isn't their fault.
