Communication Request

I will give you this though. For all of my frustrations of being stuck on a JP server now, the first few weeks were actually a blessing because I only experienced a fraction of the issues that NA servers were having. Aside from 8am-11am I could log on without a problem and blew through the main story while everyone was rushing it making que times very easy even for dps. I look at the poor guys now that are trying it and the que times for stupid things like pre30 dungeons, titan/garuda easy are just ridiculous and I usually end up tanking for them so they can get a group real quick.

Silver lining, there you go.

....You're complaining that they don't provide updates on the Japanese servers on the English forums? Think about that for a minute.

The official supported languages of all game worlds in the Japan region data center are: English, Japanese, French, German. This is the same as for the NA/EU data center worlds.

FWIW, the NA/EU report of the JP worlds maintenance is here:

[NA] Several Worlds Emergency Maintenance (Sep. 16)
[EU] Several Worlds Emergency Maintenance (Sep. 16)

I came to the forums. I looked around for some recognition of the problem. 30 minutes later, I was still looking around.

If people are discussing it, it will be in the General Discussion forums. For info from SE, you would need to look elsewhere, like on The Lodestone's News page, or in the forum's Information or Maintenance sections.

Oceanic ping to Japanese servers is literally half that of EU/NA servers.

There are HUGE numbers of English-speaking players on Japanese realms.

All maintenance-related communication must be communicated in English along with Japanese. This one may have had a message with an [NA] prefix, but the vast majority of prior maintenances, and all of them that have only affected the JP servers, have not been addressed in English forums.

That quote of mine you used...now go read it, in it's context...see how it applies to nothing you just said?! Reading Comprehension, skills money can't buy!

Then to expect people to know that they need to be looking at all of the game's different locations online, just in case there happened to appear a limited time offer... while the game's official service was offline, and had already been offline for several months? Just saying that you can't be too surprised by how this news slipped past so many people.

I checked the Lodestone, and nothing but the Lodestone at least once 2-3weeks. And no not the BETA Version that was up for a brief period during this time, the same one us 1.0 peeps used back then, and yet I was still informed and managed to transfer as they went up without issue, and never missed any ARR info. Add to that the emails they sent me. C'mon stop trying to justify your ignorance. There is no excuse for it other than "Ignorance"! Stop blaming others for your faults.

Stuff

In this day and age where there are like more ways to contact people online than their are to eat your dinner, I find it extremely hard to even think of a reason why you wouldn't swap info, even facebook info, with someone you play a game on a daily basis with. I mean if they are indeed that important that you can't make a decision for yourself without their input surely you at least would have swapped some sort of contact info?!
If not, then again, they either aint as important to you, as you are making out, just they are another excuse for this issue, or something else that I can't even begin to grasp!
