oh .. and with that 6 mil per month OFFER PS2 USERS a HARDDRIVE UPGRADE !!!!!
I would prefer that also, but t wasnt offered as an option.
Yes, physically pick up the servers, move them elsewhere (which will likely involve moving them across a huge body of water somewhere), set up some internet service that can handle the upload necessary (which usually takes upwards of 2-4 weeks to implement completely), rewrite your software to point to the new location, then pray it all works.
Sunshine is a wonderful thing y'know.
I agree with you and that's why I asked my IT friend some questions yesterday when he and his wife were at my house. One of two reasons why SE is telling us a week: Either they're trying to keep us quiet and happy, or they already have a disaster plan in place and are currently working on a migration so they can have everything up and running in a week (or maybe a few days longer at the worst). My friend works for a multi-billion dollar company in Arizona and they have a disaster contingency plan that he's a part of. So, that's what I'm thinking is going on. One thing is don't underestimate the Japanese. They are very smart people and I don't think from a business standpoint, they're standing around in their executive offices helpless to the power situation.
Level 99 jobs: THF, WAR, SAM, SMN, WHM. Haste is overrated. Ok. Not really. But that's what you all think I believe anyway.
Honestly I am glad they shut down the servers, they should have done so sooner to reserve power for more important things such as hospitals and such, but I guess they wanted to keep them up for a little for people to communicate with eachother about the unfortunate turn of events.
I could care less if it takes a week or two for the servers to be up. Could you imagine if they kept them up like you wanted them to and cause the whole servers to get destroyed from all this crap going on? Could you imagine having to start over to the very beginning? {Thanks for the offer, but I'll have to pass.} I'm fine with a week of no FFXI, I got other things I can be doing anyway.
You've been trolled! You've been trolled you have probably been told, "don't reply to this guy, he is just getting a rise out of you," yes its true you respond and that's his cue to start trouble on the double while he strokes his manly stubble. You've been trolled you've been trolled you should probably just fold when the only winning move is not to play! And yet you keep on trying mindlessly replying, you've been trolled, you've been trolled, have a nice day!
The bottom line is this disaster is effecting all of japan, the nation isn't all that huge of a landmass and the fact that several reactors are on the verge of and or have had partial meltdowns means that large areas are experiencing power shortages.
Yes McDonalds didn't shut down due to 9/11 but it's not a matter of insensitivity. They're not shutting down because of people's feelings, they're shutting down because they have to. It's a matter of conserving power for the facilities that absolutely need it i.e. hospitals and such.
I'm sure you would like them to keep running but the fact is there are no contingencies to run from outside of Japan and what's done is done, deal with it. Complaining now isn't going to do anything about it, grin and bare it and just be glad that you weren't affected by it.
Emotions are bound to get high on a subject like this, so yes you run the risk of getting attacked for comments that show a tad insensitivity to the whole situation. As far as calling everyone rednecks, I live about 2 hours southeast of New Orleans, I have a degree in Computer Science as well as Mathmatics. < Where you live has nothing to do with your intelligence level, it's ok to defend yourself but being stereotypical while trying to push a point that you shouldn't argue with insults won't get you anywheres.
