Server opened 1 hour before the leves reset

[CoolBlitz]

Yay, if I am correct the server will be opened 1 hour before the reset. That means I can pick up 8 leves then goto work.

After I come back home and finished these 8 leves, I can pick up another 8.

That is if you are able to log in for the first hour ^^ I hope there are no crazy waiting lists like those screenshots I had seen a while back.

Me and the wife were one cycle of leves behind anyways so right before the servers shut down we went and grabbed leves. So whenever we do actually get to log back on we will have 16 to do.

don't get too excited, the timer might reset to another value

Leves all depend on how SE has the timers coded.

I have a feeling time did not stop while we where away but no way to really know until tomorrow.

[AnaviAnael]

I remember reading somewhere on the FFXI forums that this will end up being like a really long maintenance. I'm theorizing that time didn't stop in Eorzea, but as Xatsh said, there's no way to know until tomorrow. ^^

If time didn't stop, free anima and guardians favor for everyone!

I doubt time stopped, the timers probably work the same way a computer's clock works. Shut the computer down and when you turn it on the clock is at the right time. If time actually did stop though then timers would be all screwed up every time there is maintenance!

[Arcell]

While that's true about maintenance Isaaru, I'm not sure how they are shut down during that time and if it's different from a full shut down like we have now. It could be the same, it might not be. You do make a good point about the computers, though I'm not sure if they work the same way gaming consoles and handheld devices do in that if you leave them unplugged entirely for too long all the settings reset.

That depends. I just saw 4:00 (PDT). Do they mean AM or PM?
