[Maintenance] All Worlds Maintenance (Mar. 26-27)

At the following time, in order to implement patch 2.2 as well as adjustments to the instance system, we will be performing maintenance on all Worlds. During this period, FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn will be unavailable.



This maintenance will introduce a new structure to the instance system that automatically adjusts the number of available instances according to the level of congestion. Until now, depending on the time of day, the number of players would become concentrated in certain content, maxing out the number of available instances, resulting in extended waiting times for players despite having a full party. With the implementation of this new system, more players than ever before will be able to participate simultaneously in the same content.



Because the implementation of this new structure will require a modification to the very core of the instance system, much time will be needed for checks and verifications before going live, which is the reason for the extended length of this maintenance.



We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience and understanding.



* The World transfer service will be suspended 24 hours before maintenance begins, and will be unavailable until maintenance has ended.



[Date & Time]

From Mar. 26, 2014 1:00 a.m. to March 27, 2014 2:00 a.m. (PDT) *Completion time may be subject to change.
