All Worlds Maintenance (May 12)

[Khalil]

At the following time, we will be performing FINAL FANTASY XI maintenance on all worlds. During this period, FINAL FANTASY XI will be unavailable.

Earlier, we reported an issue that has been occurring since the beginning of April. This issue consisted of players being unable to connect to numerous zones and players being unable to use the auction house and delivery service. During this maintenance, we will be implementing a counter-measure to fix these issues.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

* The World Transfer Service will be unavailable starting 30 minutes before the maintenance. Please wait until after the maintenance is completed before attempting to use this service.

FINAL FANTASY XI

Rolling Updates? That's something new. Maybe they're thinking of the poor BG servers

I also like that those last 5 will probably not have any HQ kings if the patch lands early enough in June.

[Karbuncle]

Actually Read it, Looks like they're fixing that pesky issue

[Therin]

I like how "Fairy" is "Fair."

They must've switched so much personnel over to Rapture that they can't update all the servers at once. ^0^

Affected worlds: Cerberus


Now that's a nice hour to make a maintenance.

EU players won't get screwed as always for once, and Kings will be back at hour time qicker than they would have normally done.

Oh yeah, and won't screw up with my Salvage's runs at 8pm.

[Karbuncle]

Is this the first maint. in recorded history to take place in JP Prime?
(Seriously, Just curious, This starts at like Midnight here, i'll actually be asleep!)

[Tajin]

Kings NOT back in Eu time (For Shiva) :<

BUT ITS COOL OUR 88 MEMBERS WILL CAMP AT ANY HOUR ANYWAY!

[Solarus]

It's not entirely new. I remember they did something like this once before, back in 2006 or so. It makes sense if they're upgrading equipment specifically, and if it's going to take a while for each.

During this maintenance, we will be implementing a counter-measure to fix these issues as this should be happening on all zones. Thank you for your patience while we fuck it up even more.
