Well, 8AM to 2AM is only 18 hours. So, that's 3/4ths of a day not quite, "More then a day." Cheer up, they first announced that it would last until 8PM. That would have been 36 hours.

/em comes riding to the scene with the MogWagon (tm) Moogle High Threat Response team.

Moogle 1: Team B, secure the area. Doc, we got three deaders here.

Kahvi: They're not all dead, just mostly dead.

Moogle 2: So, whats the difference?

Kahvi: If they were all dead, there'd be nothing left to do except to turn out thier pockets and look for loose change.

Moogle 1: >.<
Moogle 2: >.<

Kahvi: okay.. so it was a bad joke... just Tractor them to the LZ and I'll do my magic.

/em uses Chainspell
.. casts Raise on Suhraa
.. casts Raise on Naru
.. casts Raise on Karou

Moogle 1: They're breaching the front line. Our tanks cant seem to voke them away from this direction.

Kahvi: Aw mittins....

Kailea · Post by **Kailea** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 3:31 pm

its bad taht wi will be down for a whole day, but seeing as they are doing Hardware changes this time, its understandable.

Ripley · Post by **Ripley** » Fri Aug 05, 2005 8:41 pm

Nothing understandable about it.
I'll go into withdrawl without my daily fix of FFXI.

SE better not take away the whole day.

Kahvi · Post by **Kahvi** » Fri Aug 05, 2005 9:58 pm

/em writes perscriptions for ice cream and hands them to everyone that will suffer FFXI withdrawl when the servers are undergoing maintence.

Post by **Fiye** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 1:00 am

Damn SE! I know how to fix this problem... Planetside style!

/em grabs a cud.

Option number four. (a.k.a. Orbital Strike)

*map is brough up along with the radius that the OS can be used*

Just target the SE corporate office of North America...

*presses upload cordinates*

*Purple line of light appears on top SE NA*

Who would like to do the honors and destroy launch the Orbital Strike?

((Note: OS is basically Planetside's beam cannon of doom that can be summoned from any place and once firednwill decimate and entire area. Similiar to Unreal Tournament's Redeemer weapon. Although this isn't a missle. it's just an Orbiting platform that can fire a beam at X place for an instant kill. Similiar to the infamous "Pugil's screw driver attack on weak little Tarutaru blackmage."))

I really want to know why Square-Enix has decided to schedule these full day maintenances on the birthdays of people in my family. July 18th was my birthday and August 8th is my father's. =b

They are just being considerate of your quality family time.

Random thought I've been wondering for a long time:

Anyone know anything about a Shadowrun MMORPG? If there was ever a game I have looked forward to, it'd have to be that. Last I heard they were half done with it, then FASA tanked.

Haven't heard anything in years.

Post by **Karou Ariyen** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 3:28 am

Werewolf: The Forsaken MMORPG, that's a neato Idea, packs of wolves running around beating up vamps, mages, and other werewolves..... dammit!! that stupid freak downtime is waarping my mind

PC support tech goes teh h@x0r INSANE: THE MMORPG. In this game you play a cubilce monkey who must quest for items like "the golden floppy disc of virus immunity" and "The USB flash drive of forgiveness" to achieve the vaunted position of (King of the Geeks). Your inventory slots are: Glasses, Pocket Protector (10 spaces), Front Pocket (2 spaces), and Bookbag (inifinity spaces). You do side quests like fix Mary's PC in accounting, or help the new temp employee figure out how to use their e-mail.... Lots of grinding involving running windows update on everybody's machine.

Baketsu, my best friend IRL was a great X files fan. She is also a government employe with middle managment responsibilites.

Of course she bought the X files game, but she couldn't play it. "Its too much like WORK!! They got the Goverment offices just right, and I swear they even use the same model cell phone I have."

Some games were not meant to be played by some people. Your proposed game.... no one who works in IT will put more than an hour into it.

no, as much as i'd love to be in Seattle 2066 right now, i havent heard anything of the sort. I did hear that there was a Dungeons and Dragons MMORPG in the works of being made, but i didnt hear who was making it.

D&D is the one thing that could pull me from ffxi... >.<
