      Anyone know how big this update is? I'm on limited bandwidth, I don't want to eat it all up in one day rofl.

        Nothing that particularly stands out to me (.DATs aside . . . ). Seems to me like a general upgrade of the game with neat stuff for you level 75 folks on top.

          Wow, took them long enough. I'm sure most welcome that change, I know I would have.

            Took about an hour for PS2, and maybe 10 minutes more for PC. It's pretty small as updates go.

            And if anyone hasn't heard, they've extended the maintenance by two hours. Use the status page to check without having to start up POL.

              If only they would do this for the NMS that drops "Essential" items. Such as the 24 hour pop NMS for the purple belt.

              Hell, most of the 24 hour pop NMs would be much appreciated if they did.

                  Eh. Kingdom Hearts. I thought Yi Yi would thoughtfully take its time. But it turns out it's just boring.

                    Wasn't it going to end at 10PDT anyways? 22-12=10, right? So, that's 2am EST?

                    Fuck all this timezone stuff.

                      Was supposed to be done by 11 PM EST originally. So much for getting Alex or Odin tonight...

                        I knew this was going to happen, doing the update and server merge was going to take a god while, not only do they have to merge the servers (moving files is fun!) but then they have to remove the dead servers and cabling attached to them, and clean up. Not to mention checking to make sure all their moves went smoothly and changing some of the routing information in their servers routers.

                        I admit I don't know that much with server stuff, I am just in semester two of networking/CCNA stuff ;p

                          So we can get on now, but all kinds of log in difficulties and the site still shows partial maint even though the "Play" option is up on POL.

                            Personally, I'd be more surprised if they unplug the host computers ('server' is the software, 'host' is the hardware) right away. At the very least, they can serve as readily available backups should anything happen on the aging production machines.
                            Bamboo shadows sweep the stars,
                            yet not a mote of dust is stirred;
                            Moonlight pierces the depths of the pond,
                            leaving no trace in the water.

                              As expected, I had to rename my main character and not my mules.

                              I got on for a moment, checked a friends list mail, then noticed my health bar was zero. A moment later I disconnected, and now on all three characters (logged off in three different zones) I get FFXI-3203 error. Presumably Sylph shat itself from the sudden load of 2500+ trying to log in all at once.

                              Good work, SE.

                                Hmm. How will the nomad mog bonanza prizes be given out now that a large amount of the population has been moved to another server and their names changed? I only won rank 5 on the character I entered with, but I'm in a different server now with a different name.
