Temporary Suspension of the Services Due to an Earthquake

No im not missing ur point Zidian, my point is to you SE has made billions from FFxi... do you really truely think they made a came that is a multibillion dollar game... One of the most played games of all... with out creating a back up server located where there other headquaters are , and im simply saying is yes im sure they have but htere focus is not FFXI period.
And as far as what u said ur right but my point is to some dont sit there and blah blah blah oh they shut down ffxi... wah wah wah think bout what effect this could have In the aera u live.... if something more dramatic and severe happens... There goes alot of major trades for the US, i was simply saying think more bout them then a dumb game.

do you really truely think they made a game that is a multibillion dollar game...

And why you say (clearly dont have) zid, Cause the game is shut down? lol i think ur too wrapped up in the game n missing a life to realize that they do have a back up server etc for a Situation such as this but there not too worried bout this game lol
as i said in my previous statement THink before you speak

Im not going to say I don't care about what happened over in Japan, bc I do, and I'm sorry it happened, but America has had hurricanes hit the gulf, earthquakes left and right, the towers etc, and you don't see them suspending any activity over there for us. Its stupid of SE to even think that they would be able to just center FF11 in Japan and then cut them down bc of an event that affects them. They need to make more stations to help keeping their services going. Just bc your neighbor stubs his toe, doesn't mean he should come next door and make you stop doing something you spend your time on.

Kratos, clearly we are thinking, just not in the same directions.

not saying i dont get what your saying or i dont understand im saying you dont make a freakin multibillion dollar game with out some sort of back up server stationed away form teh main Server.... like i said which they prolly have but right now is not the focus to make a phone call to have it utrned on its more worried bout there own problems atm

NO, they are not. The servers are in Japan, where there is considerable instability in the power grid at the moment, which is why the servers have been temporarily taken offline.

SO here for all ur whiners bout servers here and servers there ANother power plant has exploded in japan so yeah you really think having there back up servers etc is important to them...

all the main servers are in japan... yes but california is where there other headquarters are which im sure has all the back up servers etc data and all.

My thoughts are to all involved. I am disgusted at the people who feel this was a bad move and SE's fault.

P.S. Good chance I will get flagged,ban,w/e for this but I don't really care, I hate heartless, self-centered individuals: Umbrion, Guardian, Gropitou and to a lesser extent a few others, your nothing but trash to me no explanation needed. If you individuals or anyone else who shares your opinion on this matter feels this is too much to deal with, feel free to contact me and ill gladly send ya nooses or let ya sit in my garage with the car running free of charge. FFXI and the real world don't need ya!

I posted without feeling really towards them turning off our service, or for those affected by the disaster. You respond with hate. This is exactly why I don't care in the slightest for humanity. So thanks again for validating the reason I feel that way. /goodbye

Well that's why I got so pissed off today. I wasn't typing with selfishness in mind or emotion, yet people reacted to me with complete anger.

It's the other way around. Marivell's phrasing was poor, but what was meant was:

The time for those of us who believe in God to pray has come.

Hopefully that phrasing is more understandable to you.

A lot of emotions are running raw right now, so it's easy for people to overreact, especially when given what appears to be a good target for negative emotion, such as someone who appears to care more about a video game than lives at stake -- regardless of the truth of the situation. It's unfortunate, but it's how it is.

Let's hope this poor emo kid gets some help very soon. We should send him some aide in his time of distress. Afk going to store to get some razors, black eyeliner, and a bathtub stopper.

After they've picked up the pieces, they will be trying to keep living life as normally as they can. Don't pretend they won't be. As I read deeper into the power situation, I do understand why SE did what they did today. But it still doesn't account for their lack of a backup by having servers elsewhere or whatever. I'm sure SE isn't happy about not collecting April's fees from millions of customers next month. I'm not blaming SE and I'm not a moron. I just think there's a lot of us that think SE could have been better prepared or done something differently. After all, if our service had been interrupted IMMEDIATELY from the earthquake, I don't think ANY of us would be on here mad about the interruption. It's that our gaming life seemed uninterrupted for THREE DAYS AFTERWARDS. Unless you spend your life glued to the TV media's nonstop coverage (which I'm not because I don't have TV), then you don't really realize a lot of what's going on over there, so it's hard to understand why after three days of continued service, the servers have to be shut down. It's because of people on here who are posting news tidbits about the power and nuclear facilities that I'm beginning to understand why.

THANK YOU. I wouldn't have said a thing if the servers went down same day. Them waiting 1-2 days to decide this was important enough to cancel is what really gets me.

nothing i said was really directed towards u yeah some ppl do say things thats not ment to be selfishness or emotionalless but some do take that way, like What im sayin to zid is im not saying he's being slefish or anything im saying plan n simple im sure there's a back up server by that dude Umbrion or wtf ever yeah him he deserved what everyone said to him cause that was totally uncalled for. that was pure selfishness.


btw, jus askin anyone here from ramuh or alexander?

So your saying I should die because I don't feel the way you do for others? Odd. I thought the majority of the posts were from "decent" people. lol

I just came back from meeting my friends (read, I have no problem with the servers down, I have a life and whiners should do the same, that is, IF they have any friends) and tried to catch up on the thread and well the trolls keep being trolls it seems, but they seem to try to hide behind the "you are just saying that to be politically correct" ok, as movie bob said, you're not being "politically incorrect" you are just being a jerk....

well Guardian... fact of the matter is yes they thought it was bad and maybe they should shut it down same day but no one new that there power plant reactors were gonna start blowin off leaving them with less n less power supply so there for not saying u were being selfish or anything but no one coulda really knew not even them. so truethfully them waitin a day or so was them relaly not thinkin they were gonna lose a power supply cuase they didnt start losing power supplys till some time saturday.

Your utter apathy to the plight of people in Japan due to this disaster is found by many here to be in extremely poor taste. Due to this, many people here are inclined towards a disfavorable reaction to what you post.

It's not that you should die, it's that you should either stop posting and focus on relearning the meaning and purpose of empathy, or stop posting so as to cease drawing the ire of your fellow posters.

Otherwise you're painting a giant target on yourself for the rather significant amount of anger and negative emotion that natural disasters tend to generate yet tend not to give an adequate target for.

but jus curious if i knew any of you guys from Alexander or Ramuh server

It's not so much that I'm a cruel person, it's simply that I'm sick of humanity as a whole. I've seen pretty much the worst from people, so excuse me if I seem heartless in saying I care more about my game time than I do for however many lives are lost. That being said, good luck to all of those affected.

---

I mean seriously come on dude you said you care more about your game time than a human being's life. And no I don't want you to die. You however act like an emo attention seeking child, so I feel that you need your emo gear paired up with you, so you feel more comfortable in your world. I am a grown person, I do not wish death upon anyone. I could by this post picture you in a bathtub with red food die holding a razor in one hand an iphone in another hand and posting ur pic on fb so your friends would see how hardcore emo and cool you were.

I know a lot of people (including myself) felt the same way right after reading the news from SE before understanding how bad the power situation was getting over there. it's not wrong to feel that way. One person suggested that if I had the money, I'd be in Japan in front of SE picketing to turn our service back on. Uh..... NO.

Look, it seems you morons haven't figured out why I posted to begin with. I wanted to see exactly how many of you would go from bleeding hearts to DIE YOU MF'er HEARTLESS TRASH from one post to the next. It was amusing for a bit, but seeing your rampant stupidity gets old after a while. Take care our JP friends (in game and in RL) and do what you have to do SE. I'll wait as long as needed. Back to FFT.

And I continue to think it's poor taste to keep berating people who don't feel the same way you do about... whatever.

Square isn't going to move their servers Naturebeckles, mainly because, they don't need to... You're an idiot from the start and you're continuing to remain one. Stop looking at this as some business perspective and realise that the servers are only located in Japan and deal with the fact that where they'll remain.

The servers are down because they're listening to their government to conserve power... Fukushima Daiichi reactor 3 -just- had a hydrogen explosion. For those who are unaware, this is the second explosion at the same plant but different reactor.

I have Moink blacklisted, so I got to see what he/she said because you replied to it. He's not God, so he has no idea what SE is going to do, whether they move them or not. None of us know. SCORE!

THis is the worst post i have seen by far in this forum.. this guy needs to grown up

Your absolutely right know one knows whats going to happen with the next few days or weather ff will be up in a week or a month no one can say for sure but they are gonna worry bout that when the time comes right now isnt the time for them to worry bout what there gonna do but i do get what ur saying.

Beckles I seriously wasn't berating for his opinion. I read all of your posts and never berated you or felt the need to. You never once said anything horrible about lives being less important than a game. And like I said this dudes a troll, and said what he said for the sake of getting attention. He is the type that has the i dont care type attitude in a public manner. People that really don't care arent going to waste their energy getting attention on a forum. I respect anyone's opinion. What I don't respect is someone acting like a monster to another human being for the sake of attention.

The government has them and many other companies to simply turn off items not needed to survive. Get off your high horse and understand the underlying business that has been adressed to both SE and other companies located in Japan.

It is this feeling that ought to be a red flag for you, that it is time to take a step back, close the forum tab in your browser, and focus on something else for a while. You'll feel better for it.
