not sure what u are justifying it on that usa should have maintenance in morning/afternoon and not at night when it wasn't even made in usa. since game is made in japan there doing it in japan morning time/afternoon which is reasonable since it was made there. so u saying that USA should have preference for time maintenance should be is just stupid

Actually they have separate server regions right? So why don't they just doing maintenance on Japan servers first then move on to NA/EU?

I don't mind much about this though, if it's going to fix the problem I can wait just another day. But I can understand that some people won't like this and that is absolutely doable.

Probably due to software. They need to ensure all servers are working perfectly the same and have the exact same configuration specs, which means that both NA and JP parties need to be on constant live communication.
Which means that both server clusters need to go on maitenance at the same time and it means that at least one party would irrevocably end up working the graveyard shift for this

I am hopeful this will resolve most of the log-in and connection issues.. then perhaps, since more people will be able to log-in and play and progress, we'll all be able to focus on the some of the short-comings of ARR.

I honestly don't think they will fix all of this tomorrow. I'm expecting to see more of 1017, 2002, 90000, 3012 etc.... And obviously, I'm also expecting some apologizes from Square.

Call me pessimist if you want, I've played MMOs long enough to know where this is going.

Of course, I would be very surprised if they'd really fix it by tomorrow, and I would be the first one to claim I was wrong.
