Time of Final Save Maintenance

[Mikita]

Usually maintenance is performed in the morning in Japan, so the date posted on the English side is 1 day behind -- i.e. if the maintenance were happening on Sept 1 in Japan, it would be stated as Aug 31 on the English announcement.

But for saving the data, both the English and Japanese announcements say November 1, so I figure it may happen at the end of the day in Japan, equaling the morning of Nov 1 in North America.

That's just how I read it, though.

I would like a confirmation on the actual time for maintenance on the 1st of November to put my mind at ease that I'll have everything done by that time.

Just a small post to confirm the time would be most excellent.

How do you know this? Why would they leave the servers up for 10 days, take them down then bring them up again unless something was going to happen? They'd have an easier time leaving them up. I'm actually expecting something during that period, because if they have to shut them down for a few days after it means they'll revert the world to a safer point in history. If something happens right before the final save I don't want to miss a beat.

If you're either too dense or too ignorant to read the lodestone newspapers, you probably don't know that all three Grand Companies are converging on Mor Dhona. So far we have seen nothing of that, so it'll either happen just before the final save or during the 10-11 days of unsaved play time thereafter.

There will be an event after the final save and patch on the 1st. I read your first post to mean you thought something was happening before the patch but it is after the patch and the servers are up for 10 days to give people a window in which to experience it in case they can't play right after the patch.

Only reason is being brought back up is because of the handful of people who wants to continue playing the game even though nothing saves.

... It's something called... maintenance? They need more than just a minute or two to copy out all the save data to begin the exporting process... The lore and such that's been released is just setting the stage for 2.0- it doesn't imply a patch or something happening. I'm not holding my breath.
