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

[DPZ2]

But does not FFXIV use old outdated hardware from late 2000s?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.

Hahahahaha. That was funny.

Consider, though, that you shouldn't have use the Pentium 4 as being part of the server hardware, since Intel stopped selling the chip 3 years before A Realm Reborn went live.

Wanna bet on what race he'll pick next ? I'm expecting a male aura this time to do an aveyond cosplay

You must be new. Back in the LK days of WOW, 24 hours was considered LIGHT.

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

Down a day of your RMT business? Oh no.

Hey...that is my line! Imposter!

[PercibelTheren]

I've played other games with very long maintenance times and honestly, I prefer if they take longer but make sure everything works. I remember RIFT updating within a few hours, going back on and having to go down again to hotfix gamebreaking bugs.

It's a temporary situation. He'll be back, with more terrible threads, before you know it.

What exactly happens to his ffxiv account? And does he have to make a new service account to post on forums?
