Re: PlayOnline Server Maintenance (Apr. 17)

Is that a new TAU item Jei? d:

It's normal though. They have a 10 hr maint twice a year or so.

Re: PlayOnline Server Maintenance (Apr. 17)

I think the last time it was more like a 20 hour maintenance, IIRC. You guys shouldn't complain, though, because I know WOW has 6 hour maintenance every week.

Re: PlayOnline Server Maintenance (Apr. 17)

Re: PlayOnline Server Maintenance (Apr. 17)

You do realize it's best not to level up right? If you don't level up and equip magic to your stats the game is insanely easy.

This is obvious man... post something constructive... I usually don't get annoyed by people, but you are just trolling posting random non-constructive nonsense anywhere and everywhere you haven't posted yet >.>

QFT, if you have something meaningful to say, then say it, otherwise just keep it to yourself. You're the person on the other end of the phone who keeps saying goodbye, trying to get the other person to say goodbye, over and over and over and over....


I'm gonna look at the brightside of this maintenance. Its right when I'm at work, on a day when I'm at the slow campus, meaning you'll be forced to post here and give me people to talk to for several hours.
It would appear that SE got my bribe. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I also wasn't aware that the day after Easter was a national holiday. I thought it was just the day everyone took off since Easter is always a Sunday and people want to be able to take a day off work for it.

It does seem odd, the maintenance is on Monday, yet the content won't become active until Wednesday. I'm sure they'll say more early next week, but since this has never happened on here since I've been playing, will you have to log at the appropriate time on Wednesday, then relog to active any ToAU content, or will it just magically become available?
