Too Many Server Maintenances!!!!

I said in my post before, this lands smack bang in the middle of OCE peak.

Define peak then. I define it as 7-10pm or 8-10pm. Maint was scheduled to end at worse by 8pm in AU time and an hour earlier JP time. In practice they end it earlier than that usually.

Add 2 hours for NZ. It's not just AU that plays in OCE

If we didn't have fixed home worlds, they could do a rolling maintenance and take the servers offline one at a time for the hotfix. It's what we do for the duplicate servers of the software that I work on IRL, and it's what some MMOs that utilize AWS or temporary instanced worlds for their server space can do.

However, because the in game worlds for XIV are fixed and persistent on a single server cluster, they don't get that option. It's pull the servers down, apply the patch, run the post patch checks, then put them back online.

You're right, 100% right. I gave the benefit of the doubt for a moment, which proved to be a mistake.

Too many server maintenances?

the idea of the tokens being unusable until later is comical to me, as someone who usually does 99 tokens + all weapons. you're playing a japanese video game. the issue isn't maintenance time, it's poor handling of DC travel.
