10 hour maint.

Before anyone ups and rages about the "time". People can't even get on to "play" anyways, so the time makes very little difference anyways .

I'm glad there is maintenance to fix these things. I don't care about the scheduled time, as long as the game gets better. It's fine by me! Besides, I have studying to do for a test on Wednesday anyways.

Lol. Way to go Square ! A maintenance right on the peak hours for NA/EU. Now we know what to expect: Priority on their JP players. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if us, NA/EU players, would be experiencing the same issues as soon as the maintenance is over...

I'm sure some issues will still linger, no question about that. However, I do believe that most of the issues will be dissolved. ( Everyone be positive) :P.

They have to get it resolved, they have no choice. If they don't, well.....pitchforks and torches at the data center...they'll loose a big customer base for sure. People aren't going to put up with this very much longer, only the real die hards.

A+ sarcasm, no one would be silly enough to believe a company prefers to do things during off hours.

The fact that the employees who will be launching the patch living and working in Japan has no bearing on this decision or timing whatsoever.

Face -> Desk. Ever though about the slight possibility that maintenance hours are directly tied to the work hours of the staff doing the maintenance?
