Jul. 17, 2008 09:00 [PDT] From: FINAL FANTASY XI

At the following time, we will be performing maintenance on all FINAL FANTASY XI worlds. During this period, FINAL FANTASY XI will be unavailable.

Since the maintenance operations are expected to require an extended period of time to complete, we will be performing the maintenance by splitting it in to two sessions. The date and time for the second maintenance will be announced once these details become available.

Thank you for your patience.

* The World Transfer Service will be unavailable starting 30 minutes before the maintenance. Please wait until after the maintenance is completed before attempting to use this service.

I thought they just did a hardware replacement/upgrade a couple months ago when they took a few servers down at a time.

oh well, prevention now is better than a shitstorm later. we still have a pretty solid uptime compared to some MMOs.
