Minimise the downtime please.

Totally agree and anyone who has heretofore not seen my signature my feelings about this game should be quite clear regarding my thoughts on when the servers should come back up. And to merill, I do not and have never lived in the 'ghetto' that stuff happens everywhere, if you weren't at home (i'm imagining your parents basement, either that or at college paid for by those parents whom you never lived in a ghetto or 'small town' with) playing video games which you're complaining about quitting on a forum designed for those games, maybe you would see some of it.

Nowai, he does not need FFXI. He has not played for 4 weeks! He's just here looking out for the rest of us. What a great guy....LOL

A games company should have had a backup plan in case of a natural disaster? I forgot when MMOs were as important as things like Hospitals being maintained. XI is a declining game, face it. They aren't going to spend tons of cash on a backup server for a game with less than 500,000 subscribers. This is budgeting 101. Nor can they simply fly their servers to some other country, travel = energy, energy = low supply.
Also, stop pretending this is one of SE's largest sources of income, they make way way more from other games, anime and movies that they publish. If people quit within a week, they were probably going to quit anyway, they stated a long time ago that they would continue to release content for XI so long as people still played it.

The QQ corner is that way ->

Meril i get the impression that you really don't like XI anymore.

[HFX7686]

I have other things I can do. I'll keep my three accounts going. It's not a big deal. A week or a month or more, I'll still play when it comes back up. I'm sure most people will.

Stop being alarmist.

[Meril]

I do... I just want them to stop the PS2 limitations exuse and get the servers back up, the basic responsibilities of any multi-million dollar corperation. Before its lost

Really lmao!!

They won't lose as many as some are thinking. Worrying about their money gain isn't helping anything though. They will do what they have to. I am sure that if they could have predicted this there would have been back up servers. But they didn't really have a fortune teller to do so. XI has been running how many years now and this is the first time the servers have had to be shutdown? Just take these things into consideration please. Not asking you to change how you feel just asking you to think about that point. No rush just think about it please.

Not said in anger.

there u go saying things like "idiot" ... is that really neccissary for you to make any kind of point? if you can read correctly there is an "and" btween the PS2 comment and servers. read plz then post

I wasn't trying to make any point just saying what your making yourself out to look like.

[Meril]

Exactly ... you havent been trying to make any point at all ... eccept to lash out and insult... anyone can do that...
The point I have REALLY been trying to make this whole time is that there need to be a separation between SE and Japan... SE provides service to UK australia canada mexico US China Korea ect..... there should have been a backup plan...
And there should be some sort of appropriate actions taking place soon or customers will get what they want somewhere else... I dont want to come back to an empty game, before the crash they were already talking about a MAJOR server merge, THis will indeffinatley make it worse
