To the person in charge of scheduling maintenance

[KrenianKandos]

I was just curious who exactly you were considering when you scheduled these maintenance times? You posted it as PDT 5pm-3am. For everyone in the US and Canada, you pretty much just said "We're gonna take the whole day from you".

I feel as if this whole FFXIV experience has been one occurrence after another where the customer is always considered last. We all know this game is great, but maybe just once you could think of us.

You sound like you should be entitled to some special exception for playing the game. It's maintenance. Relax.

On eastern coast, that's 8pm to 6am. Sucks that i can't get any nightly gaming in but i'll fire another game and wait for this to be fixed. WORSE is that you are complaining about a maintenance that is being done on the sole reason to fix the 1017 and character creation issues!

...Dear Gods, if it isn't one thing, it's always another.

I remember reading tons of oceanic players on different games based out of the United States rail about this for years and years. I don't think I once saw someone say, "The world doesn't center around Australia!"

It's neat seeing where other cultures jump to when considering your culture. Me? I personally don't give a damn when they do their maintenance. I have other things I can/must do beside playing this game.

The one thing I get from reading this thread is that there is a lot of overtired grumpy-bums here who could all use some extra sleep.

Thankfully on Wednesday we'll have the opportunity!!

5 pm... They haven't taken the whole day, they've taken the evening. Unless you're a hermit.

It's great time for the UK, 1am to 11am. I'll be in bed and working so I wont even notice it

no matter when the schedule the maintenance, it's going to be disruptive to a lot of people. You people complaining about the timing make me sick and the logic is appalling. It's a 9 hour maintenance. odds are it's going to affect you in some way no matter where you live.

CAN EVERYONE JUST BE HAPPY THAT WE ALL MAY BE ABLE TO LOG ON AFTER THIS MAINT.?

It's not like many people can "log-on" anyways, so what difference does it make what time they do it?
