All Worlds Maintenance (Jan. 18)

At the following time, we will be performing FINAL FANTASY XI server maintenance on all Worlds. During this period, FINAL FANTASY XI will be unavailable.

We ask that those players who are scheduled to enter Dynamis or Limbus at the time of the maintenance wait until it is over before entering. Please note that we do not guarantee any items that may be lost during the period of the maintenance.

We deeply apologize for the inconvenience.


[Affected Period]
Jan. 18, 2006 from 9:00 to 11:00 (PST)
*Maintenance completion time may be subject to change.

[Maintenance Details]
To resolve several issues.

What the fuck O.o first.. they are saying that items may be lost and they can't garuntee you won't lose items? Does that mean they won't do shit to replace them if you do lose them? And where's the MAINTEANANCE DETAILS?! "To resolve several issues." is NOT a detail of any kind. >.> I want some god damn answers!!

2) At KA the gilsellers blatently used hacks to pop things that weren't there appearantly and even TOLD several of the members of my linkshell. GMs were told this and told to check logs and whatnot several times by several people. Nothing done so far and this isn't the first case of hacks being used at a HNM (lolFafnir, lolSerket, etc). GMs are shit and SE does nothing to help anyone that tries to play BY THE DAMN TOS it seems. It seems rediculous that they aren't doing shit.. so who's up for getting hacks to counter the hackers? cause I'm down for it (if I can find em that is).

Just a little pissed off at SE for having maintenance with no information about it (I'm fine with maintenances.. I can deal with those.. I just want to know what they are for and if anything is being done). As far as I can tell (and this is just an assumption) but it looks like they were just moving HNMs to an earlier time now for JP >.> considering several were coming out of late at night for the NA linkshells and getting a bit more reasonable. There's nothing to prove this but they don't seem to do anything to disprove it with details like "To resolve several issues." :| gg SE
 
Meh, they are just saying they aren't responsible if you dont look at their maintinence schedual before jumping into Dynamis or Limbus. I don't think it was so broad as to include all items under any circumstances, but that has always been the case anyhow. Nothing new here, they're just saying "Dont start something just before we have to shut down the servers because if something gets lost, it will be your fault for need heeding our warning."
 
Yep, if you're in Limbus or Dynamis when the maintenance hits, stuff you've picked up may not be around.

And what does "popping things that weren't there" even mean? They're somehow creating extra crabs to farm some extra rock salt?
 
Once upon a time SE use to tell us wtf they were doing .... then all of a sudden not so much, wtf?
 
SE, like most companies, likes to keep some of its mistakes under wraps. Just because a few people found an exploit, they don't want to announce to everyone that it was there, in the hopes that others who didn't know about it already don't go out looking for other possible/similar ones.

Nothing too odd about all this, they have always done things this way I believe.
 
SE used to atleast vaguely say WHAT they were fixing.. now they aren't saying shit.. it's fishy.
 
I think it's to block the "Flying Bot" ForgottenShadows has been getting so much use out of lately....could be mistaken though.
 
they could atleast tell us.. not to mention since GIVE THEM MONEY to provide service they are required (atleast I believe they are) to provide us with information when they do not provide service.
 
Only information they are required to give, if any, is that they are performing maintenance. Anything beyond that is bonus. I don't think this is the case, but what if they really are just dusting the machines?

Meanwhile everytime a server crashes they claim DDoS attacks and show their security to be shit, i don't buy it.
 
I would assume it has a lot to do with the servers being a little um... "Buggy" in recent days. Me thinks that they are under DDoS again, and need to fix the safeguards thay put up last time.

However in Phraustland, I am dreaming they have an "Accident" during the maintainance that sends a shockwave through th game starting at the Gil Sellers down to the gil and items bought with the gil purchased suddenly dissapearing. That would be sweet.

well there's a good chance the gil purchased (the gil itself) is in another person's hands that rightfully earned it from crafting and selling or whatnot.
 
oh ya.. can I move to phraustland? :D

Well I know at KA, they pulled mobs over the log(they flew over the log) that seperates the KA area from the rest of Jugner forest.
 
I was told they were popping sheep and shit on KA's side which should have nothing pop there. Pulling is just as odd but shouldn't they disappear if they stop being engaged or something?

They pulled them as they flew over the log. And they dont depop when disengaged. They only depop when they lose all hate.
 
The reason thats "Bad," the King Arthro mob pulling thing, is because you cannot legitimately pull mobs over the logs and rocks. It acts like a wall. They teleport hack mobs over.

I see :P that's what you guys meant
 
...its a minor fix, they do this crap all the time. they shut down the servers for 5 or 10 minutes, theres a 30 second download, and then you continue on with your life. its not the x-files guys...
 
I don't get it. It's the first maintenance for a while and people moan? It was what 2 hours? Surely you can find something else to do for 2 hours?
