How has every other major MMO solved the problem of downtime other than FF14?

[Noumenon]

Why is it that only FF14, among the major MMOs, require an entire day just to get a new patch in for maintenance?

[Darkobra]

Down a day of your RMT business? Oh no.

Oh look, another complaint thread from someone who claims they quit. If you quit, why do you care about downtime? And other MMOs have long downtime too.

Other MMOs also do more frequent downtime than FF14 as well, so that is something to think about. We don't have weekly maintenance or anything and only really see downtime for major patches or fixing issues that pop up infrequently

the troll is strong in this one as every mmo has this problem but sure go on.

You know very well they do not and that maintenance normally lasts a few hours or less like other MMOs. This one is 24 hours due to infrastructure maintenance.

The only reason other MMOs might not need infrastructure maintenance is due to using cloud servers.

didnt you say the game was dying earlier and that all the devs were leaving ? how come you're still here if the game is fully dead ?

So that you can have something to write/complain about
