And this is why I've pretty much switched to XIVPads for everything.

I understand the delays, real life should come before updating a gaming website, but these bugs are just getting silly. If XIVPads can get their site updated--not to mention be able to keep characters along with comments and media intact--in just a few short hours after the patch, you'd think that a popular site like this one would be able to update no problem.

This is PRO's job, see all the adds?

Pads has 3 people and the only have made $1127 in the last year and that was spent on a new server.
ffxivpro is real life for the creators.
I just want a reply from them on whats going on and when it might be back.

http://xivpads.com/ doesn't have a forum or item database but has RATING.
http://mozk-tabetai.com/ doesn't have forum or rating.
http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl/index.html doesn't have rating.

http://www.ffxivpro.com/ is the only one with all 3 and I would like to use it for that purpose.
~thank you~

To give an update on the update, here goes. The crawler that scans for characters started adding bad data and I had to clean it up. I didn't know the lodestone id's were the same even after the merge. The good thing about that it allows me to just change the server/name to match the ID. Bad thing is many users verified against duplicate entries in the database and it had to be repaired.

Most verified characters should be good but it's hard to tell without further testing. There are some bugs that I'm aware of that I will get to. Stuff like lodestone history will take time to resync, I had to wipe 25 million rows of lodestone history data.

All characters are currently being re-scanned to fix server/char names. This process can take a very long time. We have over 500,000 chars in our database. I give priority updating to the verified characters. We also have around 18,000 linkshells that should have been rescanned by now.

TLDR; Character database is under repair. If you have a problem managing your character, feel free to post.

Just curious, but when will there be fewer than a bajillion people with the same 42,500 score?

It seems like anyone who has at least 800 achievements and HAS been updated since your fixes shares this same exact score.

Well that can happen anyways if someone without all jobs completed has done a lot of other extra stuff the all-50's haven't done. But yeah, there's some really major discrepancies atm.

Any news on how this is going? My new character on Excalibur is linked to the wrong character. My old character, which is still selected as my default character, no longer exists according to FFXIV database.

I'd like to hear if any progress has been made?
