It takes me about 10 tries to log on, then I finally get on and go to the Seaserpentgrotto to get some LS friends their joyeuse, since they all helped me get mine.^^ Then my volume goes out i try logging in for about 30mins then I find out there randomly extending the update time. Not to mension these 2 updates within the past 7-11 days has completely screwd up my LS's dynamis times. I mean seriously they could have put 1 of the 2 updates on japanese prime time instead of always making the NAs and Europeans suffer.

That's a really good point, SE is totally baised towards the Japanese.

This would be a good reason to switch to a US-based MMORPG.

Also, if you guys have these feelings, you need to send them to SE, not just ***** about them here. If enough people threaten to quit if they keep this **** up, eventually it will change. That, or we'll all leave their game, and to hell with SE.

First off, there is nothing here that is really going to help the process. Square will delay all they need to until the update is finished. I suppose much like us, they won't sleep till we're back on.

However, sending a letter to SE is out of the question.

Anonymous: Dear SE. Get off your asses and fix Final Fantasy XI. Also, I want a refund or else I'm quiting the game.

Square Official: Dear Anonymous. We deeply apologize for the inconvienence and are working quickly to resolve the matter. Thank you for your understanding.

Anonymous: Dear SE. I said I want a refund or I'm quiting the game, now.

Square Official: Dear Anonymous. We deeply apologize for the inconvienence and are working quickly to resolve the matter. Thank you for your understanding.

(Japanese can be so polite and ******** at the same time)

And that's just ASSUMING the one who answers can answer in proper english. I myself talked to one of the reps at Square (Before it became Enix) and his grammar was quite a bit off.

Well obviously if you don't give them your name, you're not going to accomplish anything. SE will give you a pro-rated refund for these extended and unscheduled updates/maintenances if you badger them enough. And sure, a dollar or whatever is comes out to doesn't matter much, but if everyone does it they will start to feel it.

Stop your ******** its annoying!!! Its all everybody does every time there is maintenance. They ***** when the game dosent work the way they want it to, but then they ***** when SE tries to fix it. Its retarded and getting old!! If you dont like maintenance that much then quit the game and stop wasteing time on the boards ******** about it.

They have put like 1 or 2 on *** time, but thats 1 out of what 100?

So what are they trying to say. We play it less than the **** do? I mean I spend a good 5 hours each night when i get home from work and near 14-16 hours on my days off. so what is that about 55 hours a week. GO jump off a bridge SE

Here's a few questions that I feel I need to ask to satisfy my sarcastic hunger. Please note that these questions are rhetorical, and any attempt to answer or retort to any of these will be thoroughly ignored by me.

Since when was 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. (or 11:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M.) on a Thursday, in October, on a school night, prime time for anything? Aren't there anymore 9 to 5 jobs out there? Is school canceled tomorrow for everyone ages 8-96 years of age? Does everyone now have Thursday's and Friday's off (or Monday through Sunday, for that matter)?

Is S.E's base of operations for American system maintainence located smack dab in the middle of Tokyo in a solid gold skyscraper, who's walls are lined with the 12 dollars you (or your parents...probably your parents) pay each month? Is there a sign located in their ruby gem studded parking lot that reads "F--k you, round eye!" (written in kanji, of course) and a middle finger sculpted from the finest diamond ever unearthed?

Is your keyboard broken? Do you know where the caps lock and punctuation keys are located? (7/16's of an inch from many oft used letters, thanks Maddox). Is there some sort of biominomial forcefield hindering you from using these keys, or perhaps could it be that you all are just too god dammed lazy to proofread or to put any effort into any sort of complete thought? I can almost hear those 2 synapses firing when I read through some of these posts....

# Oct 21 2005 at 12:07 AM Rating: Decent
what i ment by my last post is that these people get pad to do their jobs and if they cant do their jobs they should tell us there is a problem and give us a chance to logout before they start doing maintnence on what they were supposed to be done with hours ago

They... kinda do.

You know that purple warning message that says "We are not conducting maintanence. The servers will be shutting down soon" Then it waits for like 5 seconds and goes "Please logout to prevent any damage to your character" or something like that...

Yeah, I just chose to ignore cause I thought I could get to town in time.

Vodka chocolates don't have that much vodka in them...

Hmmm.... Isn't it harder for your stomach to digest chocolate (Same reason animals can't eat it...) would that have... ANY effect on the liquor factor? There you go, your thought for the day

Sure...

No where in school did it teach me the time difference from Japan time and Central Time. Difference from cali to kansas might be 1-2 hours, but that's about as far as scholarship states.

But... are you getting upset over other people complaining? If it affects you, I guess you could... not read the posts. It's not like anything said on this post is gonna make the update go any faster. I don't care about the money factor. I have money to throw away, I just want to get back on and finish my mission. Is that wrong?

Those people who complain about the time of maintenances should live in Europe. I come from England and these seem to always take place during our prime time - namely evenings. It's because it affects the fewest people, so everyone should stop moaning about it!
