No, that article basically says you’re getting it back and a lot of people didn’t. I know it seems small, but I don’t really like to have hope, if there is none. I would rather just know the truth. “If you don’t get your items back within X time, you aren’t getting them,” is all I would have wanted.
When things happen every week on the same day for the same process since the game was started then you better be prepared on that day. People who expect it to be different are indeed “crybabies”
Don’t even compare this to freemium nonsense. That isn’t even apples to oranges, thats not even on the same topic.
This is still the king of MMOs in content and space. Even though MMORPGs are not as popular as they used to be, it doesnt change that fact. There’s also the tremendous amount of code… especially old code that has to be made to work with new code. Warbands, cross faction, and cross server guilds are the biggest changes this game as ever done in relation to old code. Continual changes to this can easy break something.
They’re also adding in a race to other classes. This isn’t a minor patch so to speak.
Stop expecting to play on patch days

Didn’t see free games have 10 expansions worth of data to maintain?
Sit dow and wait till servers are up

i would like to agree with this, i dont know why the game pisses me off so much… maybe its because we deal with all this down time… and STILL 6 herbs in a row will disappear while harvesting and STIL i get booted when i take flight sometimes… these are decades old problems.
Now that we have a complaint complaining about complainers, our maintenance day morning is complete.

No, ff14 has has had one scheduled 24 hour maintenance afaik, the typical maintenance is 4 to 6 hrs. They definitely don’t have the best but it’s not as bad as regular 24 hr maintenance.

Except they weren’t always, and we had to send 5 bucks and a SASE to get the patch on floppy mailed to us 6 weeks later.
to be fair, who doesn’t want a free milkshake?

I do too but I’d like it to be clearer for people who didn’t get any mail.
I can’t name a game which has been live service for 20 years, that is true
The First Descendant does this. It’s a new game that just came out in July (2024). The only caveat is they are on Korean time, so downtime is literally overnight for NA folks. 
Can you name another massively multiplayer online game that is still updating every few months for the last twenty years?
I’m lactose intolerant.
I’ll still take it, and drink it, but in 30 minutes to an hour I will be very cross at you for the predictable results of my own actions.

People here complained so hard when it was down for 12 hours for TWW prepatch. And they gave a day of compensation for that.
Meanwhile FFXIV was down for 48 hours for Dawntrail prepatch. No compensation.
Well the good news is you don’t look a day over 10,000.
Also the ONLY person I call baby is the missus, and not even really her because that’s kinda weird… (And not just cause my late IC wife was only slightly younger than the fall of Argus)

Given what all is being CHANGED today, I think we will be lucky if its down for only 8 hours today. I certainly don’t relish fixing the talents on 65 characters 
oh i am too, but sometimes we have to make sacrifices for the things we love. honestly, though, the solution is for more companies to use lactose-free milk in their shakes.
it might be more then 8 hours sigh .
