Maintenance times and length ?

[Burado]

How often does maintenance happens and are they all last whole day ?

[Naria]

This is a version update, ie Patch 3.3.x to Patch 3.4 and they happen every 3-4 months and yes they usually last the whole day. Day long maintenance is usually only for version updates, expansions or hardware upgrades, so they don't happen that frequently. Most maintenance lasts only a few hours.

Thx for info

Yeah, the notice for 5.4 is slightly off. The maintenance notice says it's from Dec. 7, 2020 6:00 p.m. to Dec. 8, 2020 2:00 a.m. (PST) but in reality, the servers were down by 2 a.m. on Dec. 7, 2020 PST. Most likely, they'll last for 24 hours.

6pm is for the Lodestone maintenance. For game servers you need to look at "All Worlds Maintenance" which does say 2am on the 7th.

24 hours is one day, not two.

Hmm...I'm starting to get a bit of withdrawal fever.

[NanaWiloh]

Its down for 24hours partly cause of the patch, but the main reason is infrastructure maint.

These maintenances tend to happen about 2 or 3 times per major patch. In normal conditions they last about 4 to 8 hours, but, due to the current global health situation, staffing limits have forced them to take 24 hours in order to do the same work.
