Earlier today, the Phantasy Star Online 2 servers experienced an Emergency Maintenance. The development team identified the issue and carried out a server equipment exchange to prevent the possibility of future data loss.
Emergency Maintenance Complete
June 11th @ 20:00 ~ June 12th 2:00 JST
Maintenance Reasoning
An issue discovered with the server could possibly cause data loss
The development team discovered an issue with the server equipment that could potentially cause data/player data loss in the future. They have completed investigating the issue, and don't forsee a need to rollback any data at this time.
Course of Action
They will be rescheduling the EQs that were scheduled to take place at 20:00 JST, 22:00 JST, and 2:00 JST.
They are considering some form of compensation for users
The Emergency Quest schedule will update automatically during maintenance. Please wait until after maintenance has ended to see the current schedule.
Please resync the calendar periodically to receive the latest updates, as the schedule may change at Sega's discretion.
This calendar is unable to show Emergency Quests that occur at random.
Boost Events that occur for 24 hours will appear with only their start times.
Boost Events that occur for several hours will use the "period" suffix in their titles. Please check the Google Calendar itself to view the event duration.
ARKS Leagues are typically 3 hours long. Check the event itself for details on its duration.
