One week is too long bring back FFXI NOW

[Angelsasuke]

In general,

If you have any hard feelings about shut down you should kill yourself instead of making other people tolerate your exsistence.

If you are complaining of not having anything to do maybe should try making some friends or connecting with family and leave FFXI alone alot longer than a week.

A week is just the estimated time and it can extend longer just sayin to all those who seem to be hurt by the week it could be longer. Its just a GAME, you know FANTASY.

As far as ingame item to help with donation for people who cant do it any other way i think that would be a awesome idea. Comon SE we all want(or at least most) flag for MH.

As and far as faith in humanity.... I havent had any for a longtime, so this post doesnt drop it any. Ignorance is the least painful of the things humanity does to dissapoint me, so i have to very much agree with that part that someone said earlier. This is not to be confused with saying there are no good people in the world, its just sayin when lumped together they aren't enough to raise faith in humanity to 1.0.

I hope people take the advice.

To SE: Take as long as you need the real people come before the Game.

To the people of Japan: you have my sympathy and condolences, may you find strength and the will to carry on.

LMAO You guys....do you realize that whoever started this thread has no minimal interest to see what you have replied? He has not replied to his own post. So this thread was just a mere attempt to piss people off. We can all agree that what he said was very unappropriated so you're all just venting off your anger and despair about this matter to pretty much an invisible troll.

Or maybe the starter of this thread has no interest about complications in Japan and just wants to play FFXI as badly as some of us do. Dare we all go play WoW?!? <.<;

I am just killing time while I head to work. Which is what I am doing now. Still I like to think I can manage positivity to the internet reguardless of pointlessness.

To a lot of us, this is not easy. Some of us aren't lucky enough to have family. I don't know about everyone else but all my friends play World of Warcraft and hate FFXI. I'm the blacksheep of the friend circle cause I hate WoW and love FFXI. lol

If you've been travelling throughout Vana'diel for three to nine years, it is no longer a game. You don't 'play' Final Fantasy XI, you live it!

Doesn't make it any more real life than real life.

Anyone who's angry at this seriously needs to go die in a fire and get all burninated.

Freaking self-centered idiots.

we actually had a massive arguement in port jeuno on asura about this an hour before servers went down. some ppl are insesitve and very offensive. i will not name names but lets say they were so offensive that 80% of ppl in port jeuno made gms calls. infact there where so many that the gms couldnt even respond in tells. i got a messege saying that there were so many that the gms would have to handle w/o talking to me in tells. some ppl need to take thier heads out of thier rears and look around. the world does not revolve around you and your play time. there are ppl in japan that are dead and dieing, dozens of cases if not hundreds of cases of radiation posioning, possible multiple nuclear meltdowns, ppl in need of hospitals, and shelters. alll u care about is ur play time. ppl like you should be ashamed and SE should delete ur accounts when servers come back up.

so the earthquake hits japan Mar. 10, 2011 and after 3 days they decide to shutdown the server? this is bull

You are an idiot. A moron. A selfish little beetle who does not deserve to be playing this game. If a week without FFXI is going to cause a personal armageddon, you need to sit back and reevaluate the way your live your life. Japan is going through one of the worse crisis in recent history and you are worried about not being able to play for a week. As far as I'm concerned, they need to keep the servers and related services/equipment down until they have enough electricity to properly serve them in addition to the emergency services and medical facilities that need the power more. Jerk.

This topic is odviously one-sided, while i feel bad for the japanese part of me agrees with the OP.
If it were an american company and the gov "kindly asked" them to shut down power they would have told them to suck a rail-road spike were still getting paid.

The company I work for has, on more than one occasion, reduced electrical usage and even shut down if requested by our power supplier in order to prevent brownouts or rolling blackouts. We tend to look at the bigger picture.
