Windower/FFXIDB Site Issues

Hello folks,

Windower/FFXIDB experienced a disk failure this evening, so the sites are down for the time being. We've got backups of everything, so there shouldn't be any permanent data loss.

I've got a ticket open with our hosting provider, but no ETA on a fix yet.

There should be minimal impact to users (well, apart from the sites not working); the windower launcher should time out attempting to update after 15 seconds and continue to launch.

Hello,

I just wanted to let everyone know that the failed hardware has been replaced, and that all of the Windower/FFXIDB related websites are once again fully functional. Thank you for your patience.

Thank you so much guys!

what ffxidb sites?

Since you dragged up this topic I'll ask, is ffxidb.com no longer maintained? It's not like it's a big deal because it still has useful info but from what it looks like, nothing past the release of Ra'Kaznar inner court.

I never actually used it, only the ffxidb plugin for the on-screen map.
But I have doubts about it being maintain nowdays.

The kills handler was turned off in March when POLUtil's mass extractor broke and I only reminded Arcon that it needs to be turned back on again a few days ago. It'll probably get updated at some point in the next few weeks, but we'll be starting from ground 0 on Escha zones.

It's actually really useful when it comes to farming for rare, off-the-wall things. It gives you much more accurate droprate information than the wiki ever did, and the maps with mob locations make it a lot easier to find what you're looking for in zones that you don't frequent.
