    All Worlds Maintenance (Dec. 6)/File Size for Dec. 6 Update (lol @ 4 hours, again)

    At the following time, we will be performing maintenance on all FINAL FANTASY XI worlds to accompany the version update and the implementation of the third battle area add-on "Heroes of Abyssea." During this period, FINAL FANTASY XI will be unavailable.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

    * This maintenance will be accompanied by a version update. After maintenance is complete, the update will automatically begin after you press the "Play" button. After that, please follow the instructions on the screen.

    * 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.

    * You may receive errors such as "POL-1160" or "POL-0010" during the download process due to heavy server traffic. If you are unable to access the update, we ask that you please wait a while and then try again.

    Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in making this a smooth version update.

    * The third battle area add-on "Heroes of Abyssea" will be playable after the version update. For those who have already purchased the new battle area add-on, please confirm whether the title of the new battle area add-on is present on the FINAL FANTASY XI title screen after the version update is complete.

    * For the update details, please refer to "Topics" on the official PlayOnline.com web site or PlayOnline Viewer which will be available on Dec. 6, 2010.

    Yea, congestion hasnt been an issue for me since they started the preupdate downloads. Stability, however, remains to be seen.

    Why 13 minutes when the PS2/360 will take more than an hour to download? O.o

    Any surprise! announcements would be as the servers go down, not when they announce maintenance times.

    The way consoles handle the data I'd assume since different formats generally etc.

    If you only need WotG and Base pack to get to Abyssea area, why is download file smaller with all the expansions installed?

    Dunno if it has anything to do with recycle dats of mobs already in old zones. Like Xzomits and such.

    WotG missions end, it mentioned if you lack CoP/ToAU/WotG. I'd assume it's smaller because it doesn't download that data.

    It's always listed that way. The PS2 has a weak processor though, so it probably can't process the downloaded data as fast, and the hard drive is a slow 5400 RPM drive, possibly limited to even slower speed. Using the same connection, my PS2 updates slower than my PC.

    This is why 360 and ps2 are slower.
