Meaning... if we didnt have enough money in banking account and didnt reput CC info yet and reactivate content ID/characters were screwed until the 16th?

By my understanding, it means you and I are both screwed until the major update. Since they haven't mentioned the major update being on the 16th, I am going to say it's safe to assume that it'll be later rather then sooner as they usually give us something of a heads up before doing an update.

Yes... There's an all day "partial" server maintenance happening... That's why you can't log in.

So hold on... Nothing is changing, they're just making the maintenance longer because they're doing server merge and the new update at the same time?

Kuz, can you confirm this? The server merge has always been the 16th.

What's going on here?

The World Merge, which was originally scheduled to take place on Mar. 16, 2011, will now be conducted at the same time as the upcoming major version update, which will include, among other things, adjustments to relieve congestion in certain areas, and new game content.

As soon as it is available, the schedule of the upcoming major version update will be announced in the Information section.

BUT....

So Honestly... I have no *** idea.
Guess we find out tomorrow when their offical "Forums" go live.

God help them all....




EDIT: Original Server Merge Announcement

Quote:
Schedule
World Merge will be performed during the upcoming maintenance scheduled for Mar. 16, 2011. Once the maintenance is complete, characters from the "Source Worlds" will be migrated automatically to the "Destination Worlds."

* The schedule for the maintenace will be released at a later date.


To ME... it looks like what ever update is happening WITH the merge ON the 16th.
But who the *** knows... I could be completely wrong.

._. for the servers that are being merged yes but any other server will not be affected, that is why they always put up a warning for people on the source world and destination world included in the merge to take any items off the ah and any items out of the delivery box.

So let me see if i am understanding this correctly cuz the way im interpreting the message is that nothing at all will happen on the 16th and world merge will happen at a later date when version update is rdy.....not major version update occurring with the merge on the 16th?

Just so long as they add some sweet new physical BLU spells I'll be happy... Some decent magic ones were added last time the cap was raised, but the physical spells added were garbage...

Oh, and RDM and SCH NEED Cure V! It's not an issue of want- Cure IV just isn't doing it when your tank has 4k+ HP... I Cure IV spam and then I end up tanking :P

Those two things and I'll be happy ^^

Part of me would say: Hell no, WHM been complaining so long that RDM and SCH made them useless!!

But lmao, lately do my LS is the only one that everyone complain about playing WHM job?

Seem like no one love play WHM, so at this point YES PLEASE SE give RDM and SCH Cure V damnit so whm can again complain they useless but who care since none seem to love play the job lmbo. (sorry for who really like the job, obviously i don't see many)

At least RDM and SCH can built azure, so we can LOW man even more... Rude? Not really just a dose of reality.

I'm just sick of pulling hate with Cure IV... I play RDM almost exclusively with a /SCH and with Light Arts, Addendum: White with my self buffs I can cast Cure IV very quickly which isn't really the best way to keep hate on the tank... But then again a dead tank is just as bad, so we're screwed either way... Yeah, and an anything/whm having the same curing power as a RDM or SCH is complete horsecrap... I'm waiting to see ghetto PLDs coming around soon, aka WAR/WHM lol

Hope its not something stupid like putting a cap on zones or something.

I'm betting this will have to do with putting the new NPCs in the main cities to warp to Abyssea areas, since you know how crowded Port Jeuno is with afk people.

You could believe Se would learn one day...
7 years ago , jeuno open and Low jeuno was overcrowded.
4 Years ago whitegate open and become overcrowded
Now Port jeuno is overcrowded...they'll prob put teleport npc everyhere in jeuno w

"Lets make an extenssion and put all key npc and missions in ONE zone so everyone have to spam here !" yay

I don't care one bit if town zones are over-crowded, I care when a zone is over-crowded with people camping the same NMs as me... That's the issue that has to be fixed- 200 people standing around afk in front of Joachim in Port Jeuno showing off their gear is easily fixed with a simple F8 click to bypass all the jackasses, and target the NPC ;)

Even if they make it so you can warp from anywhere to abyssea you will still need to gather somewhere for shout groups, yes it will make some impact but not enough... I think they should replace ballistia earring use so that if you >>>
/a Type Stuff here
goes to anyone with it turned on like a server wide abyssea shout or linkshell....

Would never happen, would cause problems, and would sound like a CB channel a month after smokie and the bandit came out... but they need to do something.

They are talking about creating abyssea npcs in each of the major cities to allow alleviation of port jeuno, in theory they believe this will work but truth is there will always be crowding in port jeuno now due to the fact that it is the area where most of the abyssea pick up groups start.

According to who, you?

According to the last Vana'diel census, White Mage is the most popular job in the game by raw numbers and third most popular by survey of preference. Perhaps you may argue that people play White Mage because they have to, not because they want to. Except the last graph on the page shows that utility accounts for 13% at most of why people play a job, e.g. WHM, while the dominant reason is enjoyment.

I don't think that is the case on my server... Everyone I know complains when they have to WHM... Standing there cure bombing someone who is dealing all the damage isn't necessarily what I would refer to as my idea of fun.

It all depends on what your idea of fun is, I do not prefer WHM because it is a boring job imo and alot of people will argue with me that it is a very good job to have leveled and they enjoy it but due to the fact that a WHM or any type of mage job is usually needed in a party most people have them leveled even if they prefer it or not.
