Heh. Â You haven't been around many MMOs have you? Â You should totally check out the General Discussions forum or the Customer Support/Technical Support sections of the World of Warcraft forums on maintenance day. Â Especially if it gets extended.

Something others don't seem to realize is that Americans and Japanese have different work ethics. Â People are expecting Yoshi-P and his team to act like American workers. Â They're most likely tooÂ focused on the problem. Â Which is good. Â <Smiles.>

I've seen a lot of that myself. It's a real shame, since all it really serves to accomplish is drive away enthusiastic players from posting on the official boards of most MMO's. I often asked players I met on WoW as to why they didn't post on the official site and the answer was almost always along the lines of 'it's an awful place'.

I think Eve probably had the most understanding community when it came to server downtime, of curse we are/were used to 23 hour days as Tranquility needs to have its hamsters changed daily, and that takes about an hour.

Â Hopefully I'll get in tonight! I can't decide if I want to make a putzing around character on a less populated server for times like this.

I thought about it, but it just seems kind of pointless since once the servers come back up I'll just abandon the character and never play it again.

Then again if I run out of other things to do I probably will anyway.

Well, it is for the most part a terrible place. Â You have to have thick skin if you're going to step out in the WoW forums.

On the other hand, there are bastions of goodness. Â The Healing Forums and the Tanking Forums are two examples of places where you can get real advice, honest answers. Â The Healing Forums even has an Off-Topic thread that's like a chat lounge people hang out in.

Forum post for me says 2008 for me, and the Twitter post is just 32m old. Â Could be you're not logged into the Lodestone Forums.

This just came across my twitter feed:

Maintenance for NA/EU #FFXIV Datacenter Aug. 25, 2013 from 9:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. (PDT)

Edited to add: Now they're saying that our inability to log-in is the result of a bug. Â So which is it? Â Their server caps, or a bug? Â Ugh.

If it was from their home office, then their Twitter stamp my be local Japanese time - since Japan is about 11ish hours ahead of EST (not sure what time zone you are in).

Same here, Liadans. Â So, it's progress and work! Â I have faith in them! Â <3

I'll try and check them out at some point. Granted, I can't post since my WoW subscription has been cancelled but I suppose it makes a lot of sense that the healing board is rich with friendly folk!Â I've always favoured the DPS role, personally - I tend to make all sorts of stupid mistakes if people put in charge of tanking or healing. I might give it a go in FFXIV, though.
