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.

Since you dragged up this topic I'll ask, is ffxidb.com no longer maintained?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.
