FFXI =/= Oxygen
You do not need FFXI to survive.You don't.
Seriously.
You could even go entire days without playing. You could go outside and see objects with life-like TnL and Pixel Shading. Or you could sleep.
But every damned time we have a maintenance, it's like the end of the freakin' world.
"OHOMGNOEZ!!! TEH SERVRZ IZ DOWN!!! TIZ TEH ENDTIMEZ!!! TEH APOKALIPZ IZ HEER!!!"
It's okay. It's going to be okay. Breathe deep. Do you smell that?
That smell is idiot.
Honestly, you will survive the maintenance. Yeah, yeah, I know. You have plants to check on, or auctions to watch, or you're studying the migration habits of the wild hare.
It will all freakin' wait.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to do server maintenance? Or to add new game data to a pre-existing system? Or to run a real-time global world across multiple servers?
I don't either, but that sounds damned hard.
Maintenance takes time. Maybe more time than we originally planned. It happens.
I know it ruins your whole day. But you have to understand the larger picture.
Your whining ruins MY day.
Think of the big picture, people.
Here's just a few of the GM calls I received during our last maintenance.
GM Call Description: Are the servers up yet?
GM Call Description: How about now?
GM Call Description: Why can't I log in?
GM Call Description: How about now?
GM Call Description: theserversdown theserversdown ohno ohno whatdoido whatdoido noffxiandnoexpmakemesomethingsomething gocrazy don'tmindifido
GM Call Description: How about now?
Seriously, people. It's time to pull the plug. I'll have your nice, shiny bans waiting when you finally log in.
Do you know what we do sometimes? Just to get back at all you whiners?
We extend maintenance for no reason.
Or sometimes we schedule a maintenance for no reason and then do nothing.
Last maintenance took 4 minutes total. The rest of the time, we were having a kegger in Mordion Gaol.
Damn, that was fun.
And we kept sending it each prank GM calls.
GM Call Description: HELP! MAH PANTS IZ ON FIRE!
Sigh. Too bad we had to let you people back on our servers.
Next time, do us all a favor. Just forget the maintenance schedule and go do something else.
And by something else, I do not mean "go play WoW".

Since my HNM ritually sacrifices me to Jormungand every couple of weeks, it'd be a refreshing change to die to him without the expectation that I need to reraise and do it all over again.
Could Dragon Food be added as a custome title when you get eaten by one of the wyrms?
Very good stuff...keep at it... fooling...the...sheep...
