[Dewrill]

Oi lads. first time trying to play the game. had it downlaod in the background for the past few hours and just came back to the computer. is this a sheduled maintenance? and if so: how long do these usually take? or is it a unsheduled downtime?

To be clear, this is 6.55. Main story Quest included, new relic, new trial etc.
But there'll be 6.57 (savage unlock) and 6.58 too, and I think 6.58 is the actual final patch with maybe more msq?

Nah. 6.55 will have the final MSQ.

Assuming the patch structures will be similar to the way they've been in the past, 6.57 will remove the restrictions on loot from Anabaseios Savage, and probably minor battle adjustments. 6.58 will remove the loot restrictions from Thaleia and historically the .58 patch saw adjustments or nerfs to relic steps, but I don't see much point in them adjusting it for this expansion since it has already been piss easy.

The reason this maintenance is so long is because they're doing major work on the Japanese server hardware.
They keep the maintenance times the same for everyone to be fair, servers come up the same time for everyone.

Could the update be the reason why i'm getting the "unable to complete version check" mesage when i try to open the launcher?

Yeah. Which reminds me how hilarious it is that there was a post on the official forums of all places complaining how unfair it is that the rest of "us" have to suffer through a twenty-four hour maintenance just because of the Japanese players.

How quickly everyone seems to have forgotten everyone "else" had to suffer through the North American, European and Oceania data center maintenances, too.

Yes. The game is completely down. You can't even properly access the launcher right now.
