All of you are going crazy over an update.. they warn you about the update like a week prior to them doing it. Anyway, its only making the game better to make you want to stay longer. So stop getting all frustrated over something that will only take a little while in time.

I came home just now, 3:30ish EST and cant get on so I decided to come here and check out the forums and look some stuff up before tryin to get back on again.

Then noticed this forum and how everyone was flamming SE about this update.. like I said, they warn you prior to the update happening. So nothing to get all adjated about.

Haha, a perfect example of how dependant some people are to FFXI. Every update the crazies come out and rant about the updates..... So theres nothing more important in your life, I understand, plz just stfu and let SE maintain what the need to so we wont have to deal with wanting to kill ourselves because SE never does anything about problems, and the servers crashed and all character data was lost.

After all, its a game...wah.

Everyone, calm down. The update is downloadable, yes, but the server maintenance and actual implementation is not over. If everything goes as planned, you will be able to get on in one hour from now. So try again at 1PM PST - 4PM EST. And be happy SE lets us DL the updates before the maintenance is over.
