Although it was far from an obscure MMORPG beforehand, Final Fantasy 14’s is currently enjoying its time in the spotlight, courtesy of a wave of new players. With a new expansion on the horizon, keeping track of the FFXIV server status helps with planning your play sessions around the dreaded maintenance schedule that takes the game offline.
Every MMORPG goes offline when updates or hotfixes need to be applied. Unexpected downtime isn’t outside of the realm of possibility either, which is why this article aims to keep track of the FFXIV server status and inform you about the game’s maintenance timer and potential extensions.

“In order to implement Patch 6.08 HotFixes and to conduct maintenance on the infrastructure, we will be performing maintenance on all Worlds at the time below, during which FINAL FANTASY XIV will be unavailable.”
All NA worlds will be offline between 7th March at 4:00 PM and 8th March at 2:00 AM PST. Over on the EU side, all worlds will be taken offline between March 8th at 0:00 AM GMT and March 8th at 10:00 AM GMT.
