I'm American and the OP does not represent America. The OP is a putz for even posting such crap. I'm a developer and I would hope to work during reasonable hours and have my efforts appreciated, not spit on by someone who seemingly doesn't I understand hard work or efficiency. This whole thread should be deleted for causing a ruckus.
Are we truly to believe that the servers are really in ASIA when the Maintenance is best suited for American players times?
I find it unacceptable that during prime time the servers are down for Maintenance. I don't give a damn if it's a American game, i paid Japanese yen to play this game on Japanese severs, not American. For both latency etc..
Nonetheless this is the most inconvenient time for people who paid Japanese Yen to play a game in Asia. You can't even mention anything negative on the official forums without the fanboy brigade denouncing it's an AMERICAN GAME.. So where on the box did it say, be aware this is an American game?

I love when people rage and say the world doesn't revolve around the US. You prove your own point false. If no one cared what America did, you wouldn't be so indignant about it.
Americans wouldn't give 2 shits if Norway acted like they were top dog because it would be laughable. You guys post angry rants in here because the world obviously hangs on Americas every word, if for nothing else than to complain and rage about our latest endeavor, and it only feeds us.
With that being said, America will be FF's largest single subscriber base, and they should cater to it. I doubt they will perform maintenance during American prime time again. This was just an emergency.
Now please rage at my arrogance, thus validating it.

And this is why everyone thinks Americans are dumb..... cuz 'MERICA!!!
I expected a long downtime but 10 hours during NA primetime is pretty funny. I am amuse.
IMO, this pretty much cements just how SQEN feels about NA/EU.
The timing makes sense given their complete incompetence thus far though. For them to attempt to bring up their servers and mickey mouse login system with any kind of significant traffic around would probably be instant disaster.
They'll have all day tomorrow to fix problems before the work day winds down and they get serious traffic. Assuming there are problems. Which I would expect there to be since SQEN has been fail thus far. Waiting almost 2 weeks to finally do something is pretty much fail. And assuming they can be bothered to fix problems without waiting for the perfect time and moon cycle for japan.
Im sorry but Im going to have to nitpick here. The downtime is nearly ideal for EU, started during the night and will end around noon.
So by your logics.. they love the EU region?
he probably hasnt realised that the EU is at least 5 hrs ahead of NA, but yes, its a perfect time if your in the UK, but tbh, i don't care when they have the maintenance downtime, as long as things are improving and we're finally able to play, then they can have the downtime prime time UK anytime they want
which btw, is mostly what happens in other games (cough WoW) to suit NA players more... or at least thats the common conception, end of the day it depends on where you team is, and what time is best for them to be doing the work, and im guessing thats not early hours of the morning or something, when their not at their best...
I live in Japan and just thought people should know something about this country. Japanese people work any time between 6am and 10pm. Often for 12 or more hours but almost never outside those times. The big reason being that with the exception of rural areas, the country is entirely dependent on the rail system to get anywhere (and trains don't run from ~11pm to ~5am). The server down time was between 10am and 7pm Japan Standard Time and, like it or not, this is a Japanese game and those are the hours they can get most of their staff to work.
Are we truly to believe that the servers are really in Gridania when the Maintenance is best suited for Ul'dah players times?
I find it unacceptable that during prime time the servers are down for Maintenance. I don't give a damn if it's an Ul'dah game, i paid Gridanian Gil to play this game on Gridanian severs, not Ul'dah. For both latency etc..
Nonetheless this is the most inconvenient time for people who paid Gridanian Gil to play a game in Gridania. You can't even mention anything negative on the official forums without the fanboy brigade denouncing it's a UL'DAH GAME.. So where on the box did it say, be aware this is an Ul'dah game?
Isn't this the same thing that our Oceanic gaming friends have had to deal with for numerous years? Having game maintenance during their prime time hours.
Good night for FIFA '13, Minecraft, GW2, reading a book, spending time with family, going outside, etc.
I'm an Oceanic player, and actually USA-based servers tend to patch between 2am to 7am my time, at least with the games I've played/am currently playing.
I preordered, struggled to get my characters made and got in a little playtime before the login errors forced me to step back until SE fixes the game. What time I played in FF I enjoyed. I'm happy to hear the system will be ready to roll sooner than later because I definitely wasn't going to register my CE until everything was upgraded. Like any mmo you need to expect maintenance & this was definitely required because a lot of players just had no luck to get in game at all.
Is some random git around the world complaining because you're working within the normal hours for your job/nation/occupation? Hours within which your company operates due to national standards? Shame on you! You should know better! Because that little American bought your product you should throw your life in reverse to cater to his whiny self absorbed needs! .... But don't worry, there's still Karma. And things like Syphilis and Gonorreah, which you can comfort yourself knowing he probably or most likely has....Herpes too. ((Disclaimer, these diseases have nothing to do with his ethnicity or nationality....But simply cause he's a bag of dicks.))
With much love~

I was thinking something more realistic like Thirty-ty twelve Babajillion double dollars.
