*is currently logged in* just to let you know, the few who are logged in are probably playing now rather than updating you lot.

Best to just try every ten minutes... you'll get on evenetually. Think about it, each server holds about 3-5k people... how many servers are there? how many people are trying to log on at this moment? ...a lot, that's for sure.

You have to think, eventhough they aer doing these updates now at a time that everyone is at work or school for the most part, the time they end is peak time when everyone is coming home so there's not telling how many are trying to load the update right now. It's more than likely server overload, which Carbuncle has been experiencing for days.
yeah

Maybe its just matter of luck because a lot of people want to connect at the same time..

Coincidence?
# Mar 02 2005 at 3:56 PM Rating: Decent
any1 else here notice that all the updates take place when its night time in japan? lol just strikes me as odd =P
RE: Coincidence?
# Mar 02 2005 at 4:17 PM Rating: Decent
Midnight has been the common update time for a server since the days of the BBS!
Square Enix is a japanese company, and the game has been running there for several years.
Admittedly it would be nice if POL would rotate the playtime nerfing, but I don't see it happening anytime soon.
still not getting on... grrrr
RE: Coincidence?
# Mar 02 2005 at 4:09 PM Rating: Excellent
Of course it's not a coincidence! However, it would be nice if they alternated or something, rather than making the NA players pay the "upgrade downtime" price.

Guess I'm not the only one...

Network is busy or there are connection problems. Please try again later or verify that cables, networking devices, and netowrk settings are properly configured.

we still have about 10 minutes until the servers are scheduled to be back online. If they have problems with the server maintenance it's gonna take longer than that (knocking on wood, praying that doesn't happen)
LOL
