If this is a PoL sever maintenance does it have any affect on HNMs?

[Mayareira]

Likely, if FFXI is unavailable.

[Evensong]

Could there be a specific reason for this maintenance, like say, the unlocking of certain servers? Could this line be a hint?

A number of servers will be under maintenance until 14:00 (PST).

Or is this just hopeful thinking on my part?

[drwaffles]

Why the hell would they open up new servers when many of the current ones are already experiencing a decline in population?

No, no. Not new servers, I said "unlock" as I was referring to the locked servers Bahamut and Odin. I've heard rumours that they might be unlocked, that is all.

I saw this thread on Sunday, but didn't think much of it since POL maint usually doesn't bring down FFXI. :/

[Severance]

The message ingame reads "PlayOnline will be unavailable for play." Nice.

[Aurara]
