Temporary Suspension of the Services Due to an Earthquake

[Babyj]

Do you seriously have nothing better to do with your life than sit around flaming everyone who posts stuff on forums?

You sir..............got a good point.....

I love when trolls expect not to get trolled for their trolling behavior.

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.

Wow, he put the brakes on so hard I can see smoke! Also, Nietzsche would be ashamed, both at your failure to grasp nihilism and for backpedaling and claiming some kind of 'social experiment'. Pretty sure nobody sent you "DIE MF'er" death threats...but I am sure that a forum full of people called you an a-hole...and, rightfully so.

So...no.

Call me a troll all you like, i'm just saying only what people don't want to say because it's "politically incorrect". Anyone who places a game over human life should go play in traffic and take their own.

I will put this game over human life everytime.........if the human means absolutely nothing too me......I have friends over in Japan atm but what truly can I do........nothing.....so instead I would love to be playing FFXI, they are a business they should have of thought of contingency plan to not have the servers be dropped.

What truly can you do?

Ride a bike.

[Kraggy]

but there are servers in Japan California and German(I think) why shutdown the ones that are not pulling the power from Japan.

There are NO game servers outside Japan!

[Crimoir]

my heart goes out to the ones lost (execpt those that work for sony. Personal grudge.) and i understand the shutdown.

but i thought the servers were hosted somewhere in the US O-o but i think the game should be suspened more than a week. like till things are a-Ok down there in Japan.

ok I am a sony fan... but that has nothing to do with this post... WTF!?!?! did you just deny sympathy to the dead, injured, or affected, simply cause you a have a petty grudge against a company!? you may have been trying to be cute but its not funny. thats like saying "i dont care that your family died in a freak car accident, cause your a Lawyer and i hate Lawyers..."

i hope you get hit in face by a tornado that miraculously only kills you...

[Crimoir]

wait no i dont im not a dick like you... my bad

So just reading in general or novels? Btw kraatos this is the same Lithera you know on the doomed to merge server of Alexander. also she just said a book, that dun mean novels only ya know. Again I hope that everyone in Japan is alright and that they get the power situation underhand as soon as possible, not just so I can go back to playing the game but so that all of the people effected by this disaster. IE companies outside of japan that rely on things from companies that are based in japan. Like the Japanese car companies other offices for other gaming companies, ect. can go back to work.

I read just about anything lol. Stephen King, R.A.Salvatore, & True crime are my favorites with a few outside books here and there.

The fact that the worst since the disaster may not even be over could put the servers out even longer than what they are planning. If they lose their reactors, what backup do they have? They should consider moving the servers to china or somewhere nearby if power would be lost for a long time.

I do wish Japan a speedy recovery. I'm with everyone here. Stay safe out there.

THIS IS A GAME!! There is positively NOTHING you can say to prove that shunting down the servers was wrong, cause it wasn't. case closed.

About being prepared for this kind of disaster... ARE YOU STUPID!?!?

point 1: Not cost effective to put redundant game servers in multiple countries for an international game. maintenance is easier if the servers are in the same place.

point 2: NO ONE goes over board to make sure a GAME (sorry if you have no REAL life) will still be running in case of disaster.

one more thing to point out is that the power plant aren't only no giving out power. there liable to EXPLODE and give off radiation fall out
