One week is too long bring back FFXI NOW

[Pixiehawk]

yes but 100% more powerful is not 100 * more powerfull,it is 2*

egads. I'm an idiot today.

[ValronXI]

Just wow you guy are horrible at life...



Seriously go delete that shit, and hope we all forget about such of horrible comment.

im going to saythis quick and sum up alot of points in one short statement.

I live in america, we are sending support to japan.

when has ANY country sent support to help us? when has ANY country came to OUR aide in a time of natural disaster?

Hurrican Katrina? nah didnt think ANYONYONE sent aide to help us.

dont troll me over not being involved in any of this. i could give a care less what thier status of their nuclear reactors are.

for all i care let em meltdown and blow up.

they will have to learn how to plan for such other emergencies.

dont post anything saying i dont care. it sucks boo hoo move someplace else where your not affected so rebuilding can begin.

Just because it does not effect me, i dont HAVE to care.

I dont see anyone caring about my financial / personal problems when im in trouble.

GTFO and Grow up please.

EDIT: dont say i dont have any empathy either. i just could care less

I was rather shocked that the game was still working after the quake. Amazing how resiliant the Japanese communication infrastructure is.

The reason why the servers were able to run is due to a few factors.
- Power reserves (which are now exhausted)
- It was the weekend so the power consumption via industries would not be so high
- They were expecting to be able to bring the reactors that had automatically shut down back up (not watch them overheat and inch towards a partial meltdown)

I'm going to be bored all week, but my boredom is pretty unimportant given what's going on in Japan right now. Earthquake. Tsunami. Nuclear disaster. Most nations would be overwhelmed with just ONE of those happening let alone all three. I say SE did the morally/socially responsible thing and respect them all the more for it.

To those that call me a troll simply because it makes me angry that people even in a small way think a game is more important then real life, all you do is prove me correct. Block me if you like, but i'm a brash person and will speak my mind whether anyone likes it or not. Yes, I have suggested SE ban people that have whined about this server downtime, and for good reason. These people are more then likely the very same people that whine and cry when they don't get a drop in-game before others.... or when something doesn't go their way. People like this are a plague not only in the game of FFXI, but leeches that take what is good in life and destroy it for their own gain. It makes me angry that people put themselves before people that are dead, and the families that don't even know where their loved ones that are missing may be. The best punishment for you would be to be made to go through the horror of what they are going through right now. And I certainly wish that upon you.

They are selfish, ignorant jerks. And someone needs to tell em off.

So if I'm a troll because I stick my neck out to tell people off that NEED to be told off. So be it. I'm a troll then.

Wrong.

The Japanese Foreign Ministry said that it would provide $200,000 to the American Red Cross to assist victims of Hurricane Katrina. Japan also identified needs in affected regions via the U.S. government and provided up to $300,000 in emergency supplies such as tents, blankets and power generators if they receive requests from the U.S. for such assistance. One Japanese individual, Takashi Endo, donated USD 1 million from his personal funds to Katrina relief efforts.[13]

And Japan was not the only one, I only quoted their part because we are talking about Japan here.

I think what SE is doing is right. I support them 100%. Even if the game never returns (completely unlikely) I will continue to support them in this.

I recently went through a disaster of my own (house fire on christmas). So I can somewhat understand what some people are going through in Japan. This isn't a time for people to be thinking of themselves (so to the poster and anyone else who agrees with him.. STOP BEING SELFISH!). SE is just thinking of what Japan NEEDs right now. They need to conserve power for hospitals, for shelters (for those who lost homes), for food storage units.. etc..

On a side note. I am not surprised at people's selfishness. I've seen them do it in game. I was hoping it was just limited to in game. I see it is not. But something for those people to think on, and SE somewhat notes it EVERY time u log in. Do not forget family/friends/job. In otherwords: This game is not EQUAL and never will be EQUAL in VALUE to a HUMAN life... So stop thinking about the game!

Sorry I am known for my ranting. And selfishness (especilly in a time like this) really sets me off. I could go on, but then I would lose topic (if i havent already).

I'll repeat myself. Put yourself in their shoes. Would you let a natural disaster that's happening on top of your house take your own life with a controller in hand? Personally I'd drop the controller immediately and find safety. My life's more important than this game, and the employees are reacting to the same reason I'd dropped the controller.
