Can we have an update on the situation.

[Gadanae]

The company ISN'T taking your money this month. That means legally they can take 30 days off without putting the servers back up. If they need more time, they will extend their "free" period for as long as they need to.

We were told it would be gone until AT LEAST this Sunday. We are not due for another update until then. I understand you're going through withdrawal here as I'm sure a lot of people are, but we are not owed any more updates until the end of the weekend.

There is no reason to post repeatedly that you think SE is holding back information from us. It is very likely that SE doesn't know themselves if they will be back. They are at the mercy of the power company. None of us have any idea how SE or Sony or anything other company there is physically setup to run, so judging one based on another is pointless.




Wow, so you want a BONUS of free time because of the earthquake/tsunami? I can't believe you're actually threatening SE if they can't come back online quick enough for you... Just, wow....

1. They have already taken our money for this month, so that arguement is irrelevant.

2. If they are going to take our money for a service, it is not being difficult if players ask for more updates on when the servers are going to be back up. Other MMO companies, as stated before, that are based in Japan, have had no problem doing this so I don't see why SE should be any different. And yes I have a problem with the "AT LEAST until this Sunday" part. I don't see any other MMO company leaving it to the wind of when they will be back to business as usual, in fact I see them back online already, even with the rolling power outages.

Again, SE should be responsible and provide us with EXACTLY when the servers will be back up, and if that extends into April, then May should be a free month as well. And i'm not "threatening" SE as you put it, i'm just stating what is good business.

oh for the love of....... NA SE employee don't know anymore then we do, SE gave us April fee free, if the servers are back up before the end of April, you are not getting May free as well -.- and really you use that freedom of speech thing way to much, this is a private forum that belongs to a company, they can censor you any way they want.

SE themselves most likely don't know what they are going to do at the moment, all they can do is plan for different scenarios, and there is no need for them to tell us stuff they might do, when there is no need to.

You want SE to be "responsible "? they sound like they are to me, keeping their servers off in the time of need for power.

the ff14 letter from the producer gives a slightly better picture of the situation

also begs the question why can't we have letters from the ff11 producer too.

Ok this is getting redundant. I didn't say that SE should just give us May for free in the first place. I SAID that if the SERVERS ARE DOWN FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME IN THE MONTH OF APRIL THEN MAY SHOULD BE FREE AS WELL. Not now folks, in April. APRIL, APRIL, APRIL. DID YOU READ THIS NOW THAT IT IS IN CAPS? Jeez, some people. READ DAMNIT.

Also, not every employee that works for SE is NA. Don't try and tell me that just because the employees that monitor the forums are NA, that they can't be kept in an informational loop from Japan. That's just ludicrous to say. It's as simple as sending an email with a status update about the servers. Really getting sick of people using that as an excuse for no info from SE as well.

AND AGAIN, I have dropped the topic of the "freedom of speech" thing so why don't you? That's not the topic of this forum.

^+1 this. At least the producer of FFXIV realizes that it's fan base deserves more information, and doesn't treat it's player base like the plague when it comes to talking to us.

FF11 doesn't need to be so nice and open with its players since we are here for the game, 14 playerbase needs to be handled with kid gloves and they are trying to make the staff on that game into little celebrities. Idk one person that works on FFXI atm, I've seen a ton of the 14 staff.

This thread will probably be locked soon lol

I lol'd, mostly because I must wholeheartedly agree. The new candy being delivered by the man in the van is FFXIV and they are certainly going to try and make sure that what little player base they have for that game remains intact. Screw the people that play FFXI, they are addicts and will play our game no matter what so we don't need to give them info!

You're right, this thread will be locked soon. lol.
