The Last Fantasy received an unprecedented wave of complaints and criticism when the developers unexpectedly announced a sudden maintenance without any prior notice. The issue escalated as all players and servers were affected.
For the first one to two hours of maintenance, servers were intermittently opened for some regions, but this did not resolve all the problems. The Australian server, in particular, remained closed, and for about six hours, there was no official explanation from the developers about the prolonged maintenance for this specific server.
Despite the lengthy downtime, the developers only announced that the server was accessible again without explicitly providing a reason for the extended maintenance.
