Happy Birthday Enixsoft and Uberfuzzy !!!
this updates for you !!
Well, the update has officially started.. so in a few hours.. the mad rush to begin the download will begin.. gentleman and ladies, start your modems!!
I have a 2.7+ mb/sec transfer rate.. try to beat me.. heheh
( though last time it took me two days to get it done.. >< )
I seriously think they should start a queuing system for downloading. . put me in a line rather than have me camping that retry button... (everyone post the suggestion to playonline and maybe we'll see it)

Wouldn't it be nice if they did this during the Japanese peak time instead of NA or EU peak time?.. what, we're not important ?!!
6.5 hrs til maintence is complete and the mad rush begins... I get off work in 4.5 ... I know what I'll be doing..

7 hours?! What the crap are they doing to the game that takes SEVEN hours?? That's long enough to add 6 new races and a continent.

When I get back in, if I don't see Trolls, Dwarves, and the lost island of Girl-lantis I'm gonna be ticked.

>_<

new expansion?? I barely had room for CoP >_< actually if I remember right I DIDN'T have room I had to make by uninstalling a bunch of other games and what not lol guess I'll have to do some more house cleaning in the near future.

now I'm gonna say my piece to the slew of people complaining its not related to this post but I don't wanna post twice lol.

I too was hoping to be at work until well into the maintencance period sadly my job has alot of random hours depending on how busy we are...and I'm already home so I gotta find soemthing to do for the next 5 hours or so.

As I was saying this games player base is pretty world wide and as the saying goes "You can please some of the people some of the time....But you can't please all of the people all of the time". In order to accomdate us fiending US players all it would do is **** off either the EU or JP player bases. Now of course some might wanna say "They SHOULD do that cuz they deserve to know how it feels!" but really we in the US aren't the center of the universe and the game is based out of japan. I'm fairly certain the JP playerbase still out numbers us (guess we'll know for certain next week after they take the next census) and despite what alot of people seem to think I'm sure they don't schedule their down times just to spite us they schedule it on JP time because they are in japan :)

The only way I see them being able to appease every single player paying the monthly fees would be to move each country into new servers based in their respective area of the world. This would be highly impractical and expensive in the eyes of the S-E bean counters and would be highly unlikely. Since they'd have to buy new equipment and new space to house said equipment and then hire more people to keep them in working order and lastly create a patch to modifiy the US and EU POL and FFXI so it would only connect to the new server clusters.

Honestly people come here and whine and complain EVERY TIME they update yea its a ***** that they only update during peak US hours but seriously if you really can't deal with the way they run the game QUIT!

There are plenty of other MMO games out that are more accommodating to the US peak hours.

Hiya all
Evry time they post a maintnence i get confused.
I mean i have no idea which is my timezone and when the maintnecen starts.When i ask around ppl just say that im a n00b in timezones but they never give me an aswer.
Like ppl that don´t know the answer should just say "i don´t know" and then shut up instead of going "N00000000b!!".
But now i found a great site where they Converte the timezones.
If u have the same problem as i check this out

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html

have a good one all

I'll be trying to connect about 1 hour before scheduled finish... you know, if it's done early. If the supposed rumors about NMs spawning 30 mins after maintenance are true, I wanna get out my THF and take down LL and Stray Mary =D I need the Boots for my RNG and the horn... well that's just profit to FUND rng ^_^'

GMT: Greenwich Mean Time

"A 24-hour time keeping system whose hours, minutes, and seconds represent the time-of-day at the Earth's prime meridian (0° longitude) located near Greenwich, England. Technically speaking, GMT no longer exists, since it was replaced by other astronomical time scales many years ago, and those astronomical times scales were subsequently replaced by the atomic time scale UTC. However, the term GMT is still incorrectly used by the general public. When heard today, it should be considered as a synonym for UTC."
