Servers, Where Art Thou?
15 years ago
Soooo, due to a slow connection attributed to my router and endgame stuff for FFXI, it took me 27 hours in total to finish the download for the Final Fantasy XIV beta.
6.38 GB.
112,928 Files, 18,288 Folders.
That's a lot of spaghetti.
No wonder it took me forever to download! They certainly don't tell you how much data you're downloading.
So I finished that at 5:00 A.M. yesterday morning. I install everything and excitedly start up the game. I fear I may go Lalafell Plainsfolk. :< The longer ears make me unf. I HAVE TO GO BACK ON MY TRADITION OF WANTING TO BE A POWERFUL MAGE TO BECOME AN AVERAGE MELEE DAMAGE DEALER. Besides, I've been all into melees lately.
Samurai level 80 bitches. *flop-flop*
Er... got off-track. I loaded up the game at 5:15 or so, only to get a lobby server error: timeout. "Wow, there must be a lot of people playing right now." Very well. Waited 30 minutes and tried again. Same error. Keep in mind, the Error Code was "0."
After some investigation on the beta test site I probably should have read in the interminable duration of the download, I found that the servers came down at 4:00 A.M. for maintenance. Wouldn't be up until 4:00 A.M the next day.
I spent today being quite awkward; I was all ready to play FFXIV, but I wasn't able to play it... I didn't even want to play FFXI. Anyway, I trudge through the day and take a nap so I'm energetic for 4:00 A.M. so I can maximize my play-time. I log on and I get the lobby server timeout error. I CHECK THE SCHEDULE AGAIN AND FIND THAT KERO IS WRONG. KERO IS ALWAYS WRONG.
5:00 A.M. PDT. Kero lives in PennOhio. US SIMPLE FOLK USE EDT. Goddamn it. So now I've got to hibernate again for four and a half hours.
SERVERS. WHERE ART THOU. So that I might punch you in the... face.
