All Worlds Maintenance (Dec. 12)

This is getting old, Im really tired of the same boring god damn line every fucking patch.

I agree. It seems like people either have nothing better to do or think it's cool to complain about maintenance, etc. Expressing your opinions is one thing, but saying it just for the sake of saying is pretty lame.

Thanks to whichever admin added the maintenance icon to the thread, I really should check those icons out and use them more.

Using that logic, why isn't "this is advanced?!?!?!?" bannable.

Old SE and low very low, die please.

Gonna start handing out banpasses to banland to ride the banzercoaster for a little bit if it doesnt stop.

Thank you so much.

Damn you SE - I had a 4 hour long moogle polishing session arranged for that day and he's getting all smelly.

Something is more seriously broked with the servers than has been for a long time though - can't remember this many maintenances since the days of the ddos spammage (admittedly I wasn't around at COP launch though).

[Sonomaa]

the same shit happened during CoP and ToAU, people talk like its all new, its NOT

[Sykes]

I'd say that this launch is slightly worse than ToAU, but not by a significant margin.

ToAU
4/17/2006 - Final Planned Pre-Expansion Maintenance
4/18/2006 - 2 hour maintenance
4/19/2006 - 2 hour maintenance
4/19/2006 - ToAU Service Activated
4/24/2006 - 2 hour maintenance
4/27/2006 - 2 hour maintenance

WotG
11/19/2007 - Final Planned Pre-Expansion Maintenance
11/20/2007 - 2 hour emergency maintenance
11/21/2007 - WotG Service Activated
11/21/2007 - 2 hour emergency maintenance
11/21/2007 -11/30/2007 - fuckload of registration server problems
11/28/2007 - 2 hour maintenance
12/5/2007 - 2 hour maintenance
12/6/2007 - 5 hour emergency maintenance
12/12/2007 - 5 hour maintenance

If anything this is the reason these maintenances are borderline comical at this point.

Hell, at least this one got announced this time around (aka servers aren't falling apart) and won't waste hourglasses, Salvage, KSNM orbs, etc. Bright side maybe?

[Koga]

WHY THE FUCK IS THIS HAPPENING ON MY DAY OFF!

[Catrina]

the same shit happened during CoP and ToAU, people talk like its all new, its NOT

They used to be a lot longer (4-7 hours, those were difficult to pass, I remember being 1am GMT and servers being still in maintenance), now it's rare that they go beyond 2.

IMO, post maintenance announcement, allow one hilarious Rocl rebuttal, then lock thread.

Can posting about how a maintenance affects your playtime be a bannable offense yet?

THIS MAINTENANCE SUCKS BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO __________ THAT DAY, NOW I HAVE TO PUT MY ______ INTO _______ JUST TO PASS TIME!!!!

Fill in the blanks.

Fuck it, i'm playin

THIS MAINTENANCE SUCKS BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO not claim HNM against JPs THAT DAY, NOW I HAVE TO PUT MY q-tip INTO my ear (Which is totally bad according to the box) JUST TO PASS TIME!!!!

[Dexy]

Its ok for NAs, sure HNMs get reset to EU times, but HNMs aren't all this game offers. Some NAs might suffer, those that don't have jobs or no lecture at college, but for us EUs it is smack bang in the middle of our play time, every time. I wouldn't mind so much if they alternated the times to sometimes be EU, sometimes NA and other times JP, but putting it in EU all the time is very fustrating.

[Spira]

I was kinda surprised by this one.. it seems like they're doing a whole lot of maintenance this month tho.. not so good... but this one seems to have been scheduled long ago, not emergency..

I look forward to seeing whatever it is they're gonna update.. and hope they put Xmas decorations up soon..

11/21/2007 - WotG Service Activated
11/21/2007 - 2 hour emergency maintenance

11/28/2007 - 2 hour maintenance
12/5/2007 - 2 hour maintenance
12/6/2007 - 5 hour emergency maintenance
12/12/2007 - 5 hour maintenance

I know for a fact that toau had registry problems, just as bad as wotg did, the major difference in toau not getting smashed so hard at the origin is the moderately annoying quest involving access and the required one game day wait
Also some of these maints were also problems before wotg activated in regards to the se windowed mode bullshit and the USB patch
all in all the launch of wotg itself was fine, the shit before it caused (and is still causing) the majority of the trouble :rocl: :ashira:

Don't forget the:

"fuck over the PC players for Thanksgiving weekend."

[Lampoon]

Where can I find a complete User Agreement? Just curious about what they say the monthly fee is for? Are we paying for 24/7 service?

[Popeh]

So, remind me agin wtf this is for? It's clearly not for testing ...
