There is a reason they are a multimillion dollar company. They know better than you.
FFXIV.

So basic terms this thread is about having them set up back up servers in case something like this should happen again? Your not saying that they have to do it right now or anything just down the road right? And if the downtime should be more then a week you would be ok with that?
No i'm saying that these things should be being put into action if there is any indication that this could be a long term thing. Square US could rent servers and a few JP staff that know how to do it can hop on a plane with backups from the main servers and head to w/e to run the game from there or hand the torch over the america staff to do it. This is a multi million dollar game that brings a lot of revenue into the company not some small fry thing. Do you really think FFXI could not be run from the american office?

If FFXI and FFXIV will be down for 1-2 months it will have a horrible impact.
