Temporary Suspension of the Services Due to an Earthquake

[Tim]

My prayers go out to all the people of Japan. For all of my Japanese friends on the Ifrit server I hope the best for you and be safe.

I wish Se woulda taken april and donated it. My heart and prayers go out to everyone in japan. People will learn to live without ffxi and ffxiv. ITS just a damn game. get over it. go to school get a job or go outside.

Hmm... I bet SE could care less about all this pointless complaining, about them shutting the servers down. They have enough to worry about. A lot of the whiners are probably children with internet access. People need to grow up and realize that there is more to this world than FFXI. If I was the owner of SE, I would have shut down the servers a lot earlier. So that some of you may understand, SE didn't shut down the servers to tick you off. They did it because they had to... They could have left it up and running, and when the power grid went out they could have lost player data and would be unable to restore anything. In a way you all should be thankful that they decided to do the safe thing and shut them down. I know I'd be upset if I knew SE could have saved all my hard work by shutting the servers down and didn't. I don't know how many of you out there actually work with computers and servers, but when you get power surges; it could destroy your equipment.
(Best wishes to Japan and its people. God speed and my prayers are with you.)

I second that... But my friends and I are from the North West United States. We holding our hearts and prayers out here for everyone there and want to say we stand by in hopes everyone is able to get back on their feet.

Awesome.

I am glad you and the North West are showing some love for our peeps overseas.

Could of been a last minute decision in to say, "We're sorry!"

But if they took they April fee and donated it to the cause, I'm sure there would be plenty of heartless players who would say, "That's not fair. I'm not playing FFXI because of the earthquake. I want my money back."

At least by not billing us, we have the option to do something else with our money. Depends on the player if they want to put it towards helping Japan, or buy a shot for Japan.

God reading most of the posts in these threads just makes me wonder about ppl in the usa. Yes they wouldnt shut it down if we had issues here. Get over yourselfs guys. they have to save power for hospitals and houses. Id rather see ppl have the eletricty then them to power servers for a game. Yes it will cut into their profits. but god think about other ppl rather then yourself for once

@ jagerforrester Yeah true i never thought about that.

On behalf of the human race and citizens of the United States of America, I apologize for the ignorance of this jackass. What he probaly meant to say was "we understand and our thoughts and prayers are with you. Please take care of yourself and your families. We will keep you in our prayers."

Thanks for the translation bro.

And besides, if SE didn't shut down the server during 9/11, it wouldn't mean that they wouldn't care enough to contribute help, make donations, and waive fees. I have friends who were Hurricane Katrina victims and played this game and they had their subscription fees waived because of that natural disaster.

Go Sleven Go!!

PS- Angrykitten the NHL is 80% US teams, so there will have to be one on both sides (affecting you too) to shut down hockey.

Oh and IF you are thinking of sending aid "money" make sure you don't send it to Fake site and probably shouldn't pick any of the ones posted here without looking into them carefully.

Don't be stupid.

Umbrion.... Isn't that a name of a pokemon? Nuff said.

I could easily make a list of 20+ people who have post in this thread that are total ass-hats.
