I know we will hear it on SUN so I am going to say it now.......

If you can't understand the difference between normal whining, and complaining.
Vs.
Doing it when a country has been thrown into turmoil, and many of the employee's have lost loved ones, and family members. When the country is continuing to face a nuclear crisis.

Then there is no point to even attempt an intelligent debate. Congratulations on your tastelessness.

I didn't personalize my post Zak, which is the mistake you are making. I never stated an opinion one way or the other rather I thought it was "tasteful" to do so or not, so you are making unfair attacks.

People have a right on this forum to tell SE what they think. The fact you feel their post is "tasteless" doesn't make it appropriate for you to then turn around and flame them because you disagree with the timing of their posts. You aren't the moderator, and it's not your job. That was my point. It had nothing to do with tastes.

Thank you Kailea... at least someone gets it.

SE announced they were reviewing their options and may have to take servers off-line.

Then, they announced they would be taking them offline, but not sure for how long.

Then, they announced they would announce more details about the situation at a later time.

We need to give them time to figure out just what their options are and go from there. Do you honestly thing they would risk bringing things back online when under the thread of a catastrophic loss of data?

that is not the problem........ the problem is people expecting SE to make FFXI/FFXIV a priority, when in all really I am sure SE at the current moment does not care if the servers floated away some where, they are more worried about their employees and their community.

Kailea, you are missing my point. That point being this is a forum dedicated to Final Fantasy 11 the Online game. If threads making the subject matter of the forum a priority bothers you, then this is probably not a good forum for you to be hanging out at.

I understand you feel priorities should be placed elsewhere. But those are your beliefs. That doesn't change the framework of this forum, nor does it mean members are not allowed to discuss their discontent about the servers being shut down. This is a forum about Final Fantasy 11, not the earthquake in Japan - so naturally it is going to attract a lot of people who are interested in playing Final Fantasy 11 and are anxious to see the servers back in operation.

People need to accept this already and move on, else we are going to continuously see flame wars erupt everytime someone talks about wanting the servers going back up.

SE should just buy their own nuclear plant.

To be perfectly honest...you're not going to make every person happy. There's bound to be people upset over FFXI not being able to be up and running within the estimated time that was posted in the announcement. I'm upset that I can't get my daily fix of FFXI...who isn't? My life isn't going to stop because I can't merit or level my DRG to ubersome levels. People are going to have to accept that they can't change SE's decisions to close down the servers for a week *or more*. It is what it is. I think SE was incredibly generous for not billing their customers for the month of April, considering the fact that IF the servers were only to be down for a week, we wouldn't have to worry about a bill until May. But unfortunately due to the ongoing crisis that is going on in Japan, I wouldn't hold my breath. Play another game to pass the time people...I know I am.

Tsukino, there are more realistic options, like the one i mentioned earlier. If the power grids in Japan arent' stabilized soonish they could always move their servers offshore and power them there until things calm down in Japan.

So we can get a US button? lol

[katoplepa]

all because of H.A.A.R.P.

anyway, this is a disaster and maybe Square employees can have lost their house, parents, and so on... try to fit their shoes and think about YOU in that condition: your first priority have to be open servers to let people play a videogame?
and last but not least : the decision to shut down for lack of electricity is a government decision, also Honda, Nissan and Toyota had shut down, is not a personal decision of Square...

I don't care what country they move to, as long as the servers go back up

[Detoxy]

Um just because this is a FF11 forum dont mean we cant talk about whatever we want. Use ur brain DR.Phil.
