Uhm, servers take a LOT of power. The game Second Life for example, requires as much power to run for a year as the COUNTRY OF BRAZIL. So, maybe they use a bit more than you think.Quote:

Given the current situation in Japan, shutting down the servers wasn't just the right thing to do - it was the OBVIOUS thing. Anybody with minimum common sense understands it.
Staying away from FFXI for a few weeks will not hurt, not a big deal for me. But I think SE should also learn something from this episode. I'm pretty sure they're losing much more than us. -

@davidwbean and anyone else wanting to donate,
If you are in the U.S. you can donate $10 by texting REDCROSS to 90999. More info and other ways to donate at RedCross.org.
I have to say, as much as it pains me to see the few people responding immaturely, I do love seeing so many others banding together to defend Japan in this horrible situation and do what is right.
As soon as they make me question my faith in humanity, the rest of you restore it. :) -

03-14-2011, 09:35 AMCream_SodaWith the maturity level of his posts, I'm going to say it's possible, but run this situation 1000 times and 999.9 times, he's not going to be anywhere near that age.Quote:

Keeping everyone at SE, as well as all the Japanese players that I met over the years through this game, in my thoughts and prayers this weekend. I'll be donating my monthly fee to the Red Cross too.

Only pointing this out, If they died in Pearl Harbor, you never met them, they have been dead a very long time, Probably before your Father and Mother were born -

My thoughts, prayers, April's subscription and other donations (via Red Cross) to the victims of the earthquake and tsunami.
Oh, and my condolences to the folks upset at Square-Enix's decision to comply with Japan's government's request of conserving energy during this energy uncertainty. Don't worry - you'll survive it. :)
ごめんあさい！ m(_ _)mQuote:
