12 hours ;_; I guess I should be paying attention to school and work and all that but... eh.
It wouldn't be so bad if it was just a one-time thing, but I find it likely that maintenance will be extended, and as a result of the update we'll get a few "Emergency Server maintenance: All worlds", and I really don't enjoy those.
Asura, Pandemonium. What an explosive combination. Of all the posts I've seen on these forums, the most entertaining have come from people of those two servers. I'm very afraid.
Umm.. the update is Monday 22 and server merge after that. Am I correct?
So it's Monday while I'm at work. And come back and wait for people to rushing log in XD.

Monday and tuesday. Monday from 11 pst to...20 pst I think and tuesday for as many hours. I cancelled events because of it, I doubt things will work till wednesday.

The Merger is going to be done during the Maint, thats why its a 12hr maint once the "Play" Button works again you will be logging onto your new server.
Time to reorganize some mules. dbox amounts to a lot of storage :[
From my understanding servers that are the destination do not need to worry about the dbox problem, only "Source" Worlds need to take stuff out of Dbox, since servers like asura arent really going anywhere, just gaining people

Well i would like to say Good bye pandy! been my home now for 2 years and i would like to say Hello Asura. Cant wait to meet new people on a new server, I would love to stay on pandy but we all kno its not possible.. so WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZUP ASURA!!
To all the Pandy transfers, let's try not to kill each other and make this transfer a fun experience for us all. That being said, you may want to stock up on booze before Monday. You may need it.

Updates used to take a long time like this back in the day... Anyways, fastest way to download the update to avoid server congestion is to delete, or move a dat, from the folder and run a check on your game. It'll fix the missing dat, and download the update since the version you had is no longer current.

All Worlds Maintenance (Mar. 22)
At the following time, we will be performing FINAL FANTASY XI maintenance on all worlds to accompany the version update and implementation of a World Merge. Along with this maintenance, we will also be performing maintenance on the FINAL FANTASY XI Linkshell Community beta version.
During this period, both FINAL FANTASY XI and the FINAL FANTASY XI Linkshell Community beta version will be unavailable.
Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.
* This maintenance will be accompanied by a version update. After maintenance is complete, the update will automatically begin after you press the "Play" button. After that, please follow the instructions on the screen.
* You may receive errors such as "POL-1160" or "POL-0010" during the download process due to heavy server traffic. If you are unable to access the update, we ask that you please wait a while and then try again.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in making this a smooth version update.
* During this maintenance, a World Merge will be implemented.
We ask that all players on any source world retrieve all items stored in the Delivery Box or Auction House.
For more details regarding the World Merge, please refer to "Announcing the World Merge" in the Information section.
* the World Transfer Service, which is currently suspended, will reinstate service after the completion of registration server maintenance, which is scheduled to take place following the FINAL FANTASY XI maintenance. For more details, please refer to "Registration Server Maintenance (Mar. 22)."
* The schedule for the reinstatement of the Character Reactivation Service, which is currently suspended, will be announced at another time.
* Update details will be available on Mar. 22, 2010.
[Date & Time]
Mar. 22, 2010 from 8:00 to 20:00 (PDT)
