Temporary Suspension of the Services Due to an Earthquake

Square Enix, you have our full support.

Coming from a person that has family in Japan, all you ppl that are QQing over the servers being down can die in a fire. Seriously people, if your family was struck by a natural disaster you would be more concerned about them than some game. I think SE is doing the right thing. I've had alot of disagreements with how SE operates the game but this is by far the most responsible thing I think they could have done. Recovery efforts will be hard on Japan, more so than they would have been for the US for the fact that they are only allowed to have the JSDA and no standing military force since WW2. We have the entire US military to help out if a disaster strikes. The fact that they had three nuclear power plants go down is a MAJOR issue there. Try to remember just how much power those put out, loosing just one of them would be a devastating blow. SE, thank you for not passing the buck as it were.

The situation you're in is unacceptable and I wish you all and your loved ones to be safe.

I meant the original troll, you were feeding him by acknowledgement. Best way to handle an idiot on a forum is to not respond. I don't necessarily agree with banning because someone shares an opinion, I do think the original was terribly insensitive and should be ignored and flamed via PM.

my heart goes out to all of you in Japan, I hope your losses end up minimal and most of it is possession rather than life, I have a few friends who live there, I'm really scared something may have happened to them because I have not heard anything from them, as for FFXI, I can go without it for a while, I love the game dont get me wrong but look its a game, there are other games to tide you over till XI is back up, many of them free, go find one if you need something to do

True I was a lil pissed to see I can not play for now, then I read when We were Informed about it, So I got over it. I'm just wanting any New info on How things are going over in Japan. I Dont have alot of friends or family outside of the USA, but I am always worried when people have hard times. I love The games and I wish i could do more for the people who are now in a very hard place. MY best wishes to you all and I'll be waiting to play when things are back to a more normal state. GLGBPO

Ah wow yeah I hadn't considered that. I'm also curious to know how many people will quit when the game is offline for more than a week. I hope most people will be patient, but I worry some people might find another way to spend their time. I guess if that happens, good for them to find something to do but some of them will be missed. (just not the guys who outclaim me at guku camp! I'm joking ^^;; )

@sasaya
Caitsith is merging with Ragnarok if i ever so you ingame you'll get a big /cheer for that story :)

Our thoughts are with everyone in Japan. The images available online illuminate this tragedy. I recommend watching the videos on you tube to really put the break from Final Fantasy in perspective. I wish you the best.

It is amazing that people get mad at those that voice an opinion about the subject that if something happens to where the servers are at then the game would go down. But the game was made for the people in Japan and we where invited to play to at a later time so i would go with no if something happen in America or say Europe that would not happen but thanks for bringing up the issue and trying to make it so people are not thinking about those in Japan that are now missing family members. Yes its sad we cant play and no wining will change that till SE decides to turn servers back on.
