Hopefully you didn’t have anything too pressing to take care of in Final Fantasy XIV on Monday evening because you’re going to have to deal with a somewhat longer maintenance cycle than usual. The patch maintenance schedule for patch 6.01 has been posted, and it starts off at 9:00 p.m. EST on Monday evening, far earlier than usual. This probably makes a certain amount of sense, as among other content additions this patch will include a fix to a login issue causing Error 2002 whilst waiting in server queues.
The patch will also include the normal version of the Pandæmonium raids as well as various other fixes, with maintenance lasting until 5:00 a.m. EST on December 21st. Readers will recall that the game has currently suspended sales of the title and pulled ads as a result of server queue issues, hence why one of the larger fixes is correcting a queue error. It sucks if you had a lot to do on Monday, of course, but it’s something of a necessity.Source: Official Site
