Re: Jan. 17, 2006 Maintenance
I have to disagree with this statement, not only is it misleading about the attitude of S.E. its also outright wrong. S.E. did not abuse the NA's, in fact the NA's got off extremely lightly when it came to updates.
We all know why the updates are at the time they are and that is because at that time (I think it's 3am JST and 2pm EST) the servers are at their lowest population density and so the disruption is minimized. People can rant and rave about how S.E. loves the Japanese and how much they hate everyone else but it actually is the best time if you look at it from a server population perspective.
Additionally as an importer of FFXI into the UK myself (over 2 years ago now) I know only too well that the updates are not scheduled for US prime-time, I known this because almost every single update consumes my prime-time.
A word of warning to all the UK people out there, don't expect it to change any time soon as we are still the lowest population on the server.
