Can we have an update on the situation.

the game will be back eventually, and when it is you can get back to all the stuff you missed out on, which since no one else is playing the game either, would be nothing. so relax, smoke something and get happy.
the people of Japan are having bigger issues than whether or not you get a Final fantasy fix or not.

Lets wait until March 20th, 2011 for a notice on whats going on and when the 1 week mark is past and still no servers up then go complain or whatever but until then go play dead space or something... or you can get online and play everquest 2 with me

hehe...sometimes I wonder what peoples concept of a server is these days. These things are likely racks of blade style servers connected to massive NAS racks--enough equipment to fill just about an entire floor. Yeah... lets pick all that up and move it overseas....it's just not that simple.

Erm didn't they move all the FFXI servers not long ago? I dunno they don't seem that huge to me if they moved them in less than 8 hours, WoW's servers would be like moving a shopping mall but I doubt FFXI has servers anything like that size.

As I said before though I assumed they could just rent servers in america and run it on those, ultimately I'm not a server engineer so I have no idea if thats a valid expectation. I do know that losing profits from a major MMO making millions per month is bad though. Even Konami got thier servers back up in a few days, the only other JP company to take them down as far as I know.

I don't need drugs to "relax" and "get happy".

thought they only relocated the US portion of the servers...which only allows US, Canada, and Mexico to be able to play but not actually run the main part of the game like the servers in Japan can and do...

Can we get some sort of update on the situation and estimated time for reinstatement of the servers. I check everyday and almost every couple hours to the information section, and still not a single thing since march 13th. Kind of annoying. Would like to at least know whats going on, before its a last minute thing thats like, OH HAI GUISE, WE WONT BRING SERVERS UP TILL NEXT WEEK, AND WE COULDA TOLD U THIS EARLIER BUT WE DIDNT FEEL LIKE IT.

Idk, im just sick of hoping for some information on servers coming up, or at least something that says, oh hey, we are fine, the servers will be up on sunday, or they wont be up sunday. something plz, im tired of not knowing a thing.

Anyone who thinks the servers can responsibly be brought up Sunday needs a wake-up call, or a serious check on the news over there. Things are getting worse, not better, vis-a-vis the power and nuclear situations.

I think this event and the fact the game has gone just as the forums gone up, has really tested the worst case scenario for the forums. Though i wish it did not happen.

SE probably got fed mis-information due to economy issues.

Konami got theirs back up pretty quick.

Service restart
First, we would like to send out warmest regards to those that were involved in the disasters occurring in the North Eastern part of Japan.

Due to the Earthquakes, many energy plants have been damaged, leading to a chance of an energy deficit.
MGO Online service acted on an Emergency Shutdown on March 12, at 10:00(UTC) to save energy. MGO Online will be back online after our scheduled maintenance on March 15.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for your support.

Doesn't anyone find it kind of weird that they can't have the game on..... but they sure as hell are all over removing comments from threads on this website, and censoring everything put in it? Their employees are certainly there to do this but they can't turn a server back on? Fishy to me.

Also, SE don't send me another email threatening my account to be banned just because I speak my mind on a PUBLIC forum. Freedom Of Speech is a constitutional right in the U.S., and the next time you threaten me my lawyer will get involved. If you didn't want the people in the United States to have their say on these forums, then you shouldn't have given us access.
