HAHAHA wow
Is anyone aloud to start a thread & express THEIR Opinion without being told off by 300 people? Welcome to the new world with "Freedom of Speech". But the one thing that i do not like is the language used. Verbal Assault is just as serious as hitting someone, some people need to relax & if they do not like someone's point of view then just move to another thread rather then making a ridiculous comment. I have more respect for someone that starts a thread saying "Turn the servers on already, this is ridiculous" then someone that tries to belittle them thinking the way they think is the ONLY way.
Good topic OP I would appreciate some sort of update myself cause the news as not once said "SE just informed us that their servers will be down for another week, sorry FF Fans"

Yes, great topic OP. Ask a question that is answered every time you open ANY web page, or turn on ANY channel, or open ANY newspaper... Let's all pat the ill-informed "special" people on the head and tell them they're super awesome!
Why aren't people trolling WoW this week with free week trials or something? if you're bored be productive at least -.-; (lol) -
03-17-2011, 01:40 PMKailea_NagisaReally? You have to be trolling?...... 9/11 was a few buildings (yes still very tragic though) This is the whole east coast of a country...... it is on a completely different scale.Quote:

SE has a crap load of more important things to do and worry about, then getting the servers back up and running.
I don't care who you are, you can not possibly be this selfish.........
I am not mad or annoyed, I have tons of other things to do while I wait for FFXI to come back up, brown nosing? No it's called thinking realistically. -

I can see his point, to be honest I am not expecting the servers to be up on Sunday as with the information that we are receiving about military helicopters having to dump water on the reactors to keep them cool. But to be fair, he is not making an impossible request, he has paid for this time and even though SE has promised a free month, they should at least keep us in the loop as to whether or not the servers coming back up is on schedule.
/sarcasm
I don't think CNN has any news on the FFXI/FFXIV servers being up.
/endsarcasm
To expand on that last note, those reactors are shot, the sea water corrodes the lining and renders them unusable even if they are brought under control, so the only information that we DO have is that Japan is going to need another source of power, which is why I foresee the servers not coming up on Sunday... -
03-17-2011, 01:48 PMAmerlynCompletely agree with this. SE will give us an update on the situation once they themselves have more information on situation.Quote:

Just have some patience. -
03-17-2011, 01:50 PMNightDaggerWhat is SE doing right now? Their building is in tact. maybe you meant their employees which is different, I am sure everyone knows what they are doing at the present. But still I see Dev team responding to alot of thread hers so obviously they are still working. Unless they do not work for SE & are just random people.Quote:

03-17-2011, 01:51 PMRAISTI case you haven't been following the news over there very closely, the situation over there concerning the power grid has not had any substantial improvement as of yet. Only a handful of manufactures have started up some minimal production again (ie Sony started processing some raw materials, but most of that facility is still offline). There is still no major turn around: rolling blackouts still in effect for Tokyo (which, btw is the only area that has a section included with EVERY BLACKOUT BLOCK, so there is always a portion of Tokyo still without power at any given time of the day), thus there is no new information available at this time.Quote:
Due to the continuous earthquakes occurring in the eastern regions of Japan since Mar. 11, 2011,the power companies in Japan have encouraged everyone to cooperate by conserving as much energy as possible as it is feared there will not be enough power supply. Based on the current situation, we have decided to shut down the game servers temporarily, and therefore to suspend services of FINAL FANTASY XIV, FINAL FANTASY XI, and PlayOnline temporarily.
The services will be temporarily suspended for at least a week starting on Mar. 13, 2011 3:00 (PDT). We will provide an update regarding the reinstatement of the service as additional information becomes available. In connection with the temporary suspension of services, players will not be billed for any PlayOnline service throughout the April billing cycle. Additional information regarding this matter will also be posted as it becomes available.
I'm sure once they see a significant turn around and they start to feel like they may be able to start planning to go back online, they will let us know something.

BUT in a few days they will have alot more power in Japan with the turbines on there way there and such. i still would not think SE would even attempt running their servers on that kind of power source cause it is classed as "dirty power" meaning it does fluxuate & will severely crash their servers.Quote:

Regardless, from the sounds of their message, I would assume that they'll come back up when they get the all clear from their government. (but that's an assumption -.-;)Quote:
