ten hour maintenance...

Jei · 08-02-2005, 10:41 PM

.... english site says "Aug. 8, 2005 from 8:00 to Aug. 9, 2005 18:00" that's 24+10 = 34 hours

Japanese site says 時： 2005年8月9日(火) 0:00より18:00頃まで which means 8/9 from 0 until 18 = 18 hours....

which one should we trust.
It's weird, english and japanese site both listed the complete time as 8/9 18:00....

fastcart · 08-03-2005, 12:40 AM

Oh no!! FFXI is finally turning into Ragnorak Online!!!

Seriously, the jp time is prolly correct and someone screwed up the time conversion on the NA site.

Double Post Edited:
I sent a bug report through their web support thingy...

On your site at: http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/polnews/news5154.shtml

The time states:

"[Affected Period]
From Aug. 8, 2005 from 8:00 to Aug. 9, 2005 18:00 (PDT)"

That is 34 hours. But, on your japanese site at:
http://www.playonline.com/ff11/polnews/news5153.shtml

It says:
"日　時： 2005年8月9日(火) 0:00より18:00頃まで"

That is 18 hours. Are they both correct?

Still long. Not as long... Both JST and PDT times are now in sync. 18 hours... oy...

I guess SE got my memo. The least they could do is gimme a buck off on my next bill. This isn't the first time I've sent them a bug report.

Btw, anyone besides me like how SE tried to sneak their correction under the radar? ^^

Well, to be fair:

At the very least, they admitted their mistake.

fastcart · 08-03-2005, 04:38 PM

Oops. I didn't see that. All I was looking for was the time...

Sorry SE. Can I still have a buck on off my next bill...?

ibroyles · 08-03-2005, 04:39 PM

For crying out loud, that is a long maintenence.

Caspian · 08-03-2005, 05:39 PM

I think they said they were changing servers or something. Which if they were doing same thing at the hospital where I work that would be like 2 weeks of downtime. And, USUALLY, stuff like that they overestimate the time needed to fix it, often it takes less than the time they give for something like this. Though this is SE who I cant recall them ever finishing an update on time, so who knows.

Jei · 08-03-2005, 10:05 PM

they updated US maintenance note.
