Aren't the servers in California? It's the electricity in Japan that is the problem. If people can't be disciplined enough to conserve their own electricity, then others shouldn't have to pay. Tragedies happen every day in the world, children die of hunger or aids, and yet we are all on the game complaining about something as trivial as not being able to get the empress hairpin to drop. What makes this tragedy any different?

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...

[Kraatos]

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.

I offer my sincere condolences to SE employees and their families and the Japanese people as a whole. I 100% agree with your decision to suspend services. I was actually slightly surprised to have service the day of/after the quake. My brother works with the Red Cross in NYC and will be leaving for Japan on Monday so its kinda personal for me. 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.

[Volkai]

Well now, time to pray for those of us who believe in God...

Uhm, maybe those of us that pray should pray for everyone, not JUST the people who believe in a god?

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.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out. (Hey, if you have zero empathy, I have zero cause for reciprocation.)

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. ((*Please forgive my ugliness but some of his posts lead me to believe he is "emotionless" for the sake of being "emotional" if that makes any sense. (HURRY LOOK AT ME I AM EMOTIONLESS AND NOTHING MATTERS IN THIS WORLD)))

Did you not read the part where I said I saw many Japanese playing on the game yesterday too? Or did you conveniently leave that part out so you can make it look like I'm a complete idiot? Did you also see that if I had the money, I'd go out there right now and help? Life doesn't stop... even for the many people in Japan. 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?
