10Min Warning!

[Xeca]

30 min before day 2 nid here and they do a maint lol

[Shamaya]

I wonder why the sudden server maint? I'm not at home so I can't see what the big deal is. Why maint. w/ only 10 minutes of warning?
edit: or I could have looked at playonline.com I guess -.-

Yeah, that is highly unusual to bring the entire game to a screeching halt like that. Starting to think this may be more than a server side issue now.

[Killo]

Makes me wonder why it was only PoL Maintenance before then 10min before time they spring FFXI in too!

BG adds a touch of sugary happy goodness to SE fuck ups. Goes great with the brownies I'm eating. Nomnomn.

Tell me about it. I was afk and came back booted with no warning as to why it was happening. Hell I'm not even sure what made them give you only 10 minutes warning for. It must have been pretty serious since this is the 1st I've ever heard of them doing it like this.

[Clerix]

I was in my mog house watching my moogle spin

[Narse]

Was gathering for Divine Might redo trying to get a group together, since people were having issues logging in we were kinda light. Got the warning 10min before and decided to go in with what we had gathered, cleared it with maybe 5 seconds to spare, R0 during ending CS (should have credit for the fight as it gave us the clear time).

Everyone was accidently Dboxed relics! :D

[Valkrish]

something better have exploded D:

[bechyni]

Well instead of spamming player selection now I get to spam typing in SE password until shit comes back up

[Eohuo]

My theory::

SE: "ZOMG Guys - Emergency maint right now! We need more MMM... we can make an hq eyepatch... best idea ever!!! Shut them forums down!"

Reasonable person: "Are you drunk?"

SE: "A little, but do it now!! I swear, best idea ever!"

[bechyni]

Nah this is what happened:

Some Linkshell finds a new way to kill AV
SE employee: FUCK THEY DID IT AGAIN
SE Higher Official: SHUT THE GD SERVERS DOWN!
"Server Maint." ensues

[Xavier]

Well, you were all warned that FFXI was coming to an end in 2010. I guess you just weren't expecting it to be tonight.

[Tankjr]

I got a warning about POL maint. like an hour before servers went down. Were you all just AFK until the 10 minute message? I'm also thinking that POL maint. != nm resets.

[Titanss]

Was camping Argus, he didn't pop.

I laughed ..

Quick story for shits and giggles.. I'm at argus @ the fucking 10minutes to 30hr mark once (ya I had been watching 18 fucking hrs).. I just had a feeling Leech King hadn't popped because app was down or some shit so no way to really tell .. I fucking got sick for some fucking reason (maybe drugs) hadn't puked since I was a kid etc.. go puke and come back to a fucking Dancing Elvaan /s DORP!

cool story

Yeah they didn't add the part about FFXI being shutdown until right at the ten minute mark though.

Thats true, but have you tried playing FF without POL? They done told us POL would be down for 3 hours.
