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

(1) Ad hominem attacks are not a discussion of Final Fantasy XIV.

(2) You may report the offending player at your leisure, but I will not do it on your behalf.

(3) What does this have to do with discussion of maintenance times?

Yup you're trolling, not gonna bother

Have at it lol

Final Fantasy XIV has a LOT of issues, but I think the community is growing to be its biggest. This kind of attitude is legitimately a turn-off for some people. The maintenance isn't nearly as bad as this sad display. If I was a new player, I would look past the maintenance, but I wouldn't look past this.



Since you're an honest person, have you reported this issue to Square Enix customer service? You can report RMT at the following link. You're an honest person, so you wouldn't make false allegations or reports against someone just because you didn't like him. Right?

If his argument is incorrect, why are you attacking the person instead of the argument? Is his argument just too strong for you to counter?

You're clearly new to this guy and that's OK. I would recommend checking his post history for a more comprehensive look at why people respond to him the way they do. He personally lost me when he called fanartists vultures

Then he oinked at Storm, so pretty much everyone who reads these forums regularly should know this by now.

I guess, they update also the OS on their servers. And if you run Windows, Windows-Update can take a very long time.

And do you see his account now? Almost like there was some proof. Almost...

Honestly, you new guys are amazing. So quick to defend the wrong people. Of course I'm honest. You HAVE to be honest to be ALWAYS RIGHT!

Anyway, when he comes back, it's your problem now. You're all happy to pay his subscription fees and make threads about him. I proved my point.

When I played WoW, I used to joke that they installed patches on all the servers from stacks of 1.44 MB floppy disks. Yes, they had significant downtime too.

But does not FFXIV use old outdated hardware from late 2000s? no? Someone told about it during EU datacenter split in half, coz old Pentium 4 was not able to handle it, and now they want to move into cloud, coz old hardware is way to expensive in order of electricity bills.
