I'm sure if I use my THF tools I can open this chest up and store it in there.

Not stating that I want SE to do anything detrimental to Japans electrical grid in starting the servers, and do empathize, but an update on server status would be greatly appreciated before Sunday. Then we at least know what the general outlook appears to be or the future, and yes I'm aware that its a dynamic situation, but any word is better than hearing nothing at this point. Unless everyone is out of the main office, which maybe the case (would be extremely weird but I'd run for the boonies if I was their), until Sunday.

I'm on this forum for a few reasons, the main two reasons are:

1. OMG, WHY DO NATURAL DISASTERS RUIN MY ADDICTION!?!?!?
2. I like forums.

Sadly, I tried most of those, WoW trial gave me a headache after an hour, its just to ... loud or boxy or something for me (the design that is). Tried several free MMO's yet I'm really missing gaming just the ability to kill some time doing what I am used (conditioned) to doing, like logging on in the evening and chatting with friends, even if I don't step out of my mh.

Not to lighten what has happened, just stating that we all get used to what we consider normal, develop a routine, and unfortunatley don't plan much further than instant gratification (at least in this day in age/culture). Anyway, yea not like we don't know there are other things out there, it's simply a matter of what we prefer or have have gotten used too, plus I dont know anyone in any of those games... and never think to ask my ls mates what they play oh wellga... I'll go scrub the highway with a toothbrush again....

First good news I've heard so far on the situation (From IAEA):

"Japanese authorities have informed the IAEA that engineers were able to lay an external grid power line cable to unit 2. The operation was completed at 08:30 UTC.

They plan to reconnect power to unit 2 once the spraying of water on the unit 3 reactor building is completed.

The spraying of water on the unit 3 reactor building was temporarily stopped at 11:09 UTC (20:09 local time) of 17 March."

While it won't suddenly put the reactor back on-line. It will make a big difference in how they can respond to the situation.

Back-up servers in California/Europe (Do you need it?) (Can I have it?) I love Japan and wish nothing more than for this disaster to not have happened, but for a company to not have an emergency back-up plan when something like this happens is kinda strange. They already lost over 70% profit this quarter on FFXIV being a failure and having to make it free. Now with both games shutdown for an unknown amount of time who knows what the outcome is going to be if there is little profit margin. If there were back-up servers everything could keep on rolling like it was with little to no service interruption and still have monthly fees and etc. coming in. It would also allow the people in Japan affected by this disaster to concentrate on there situations and not have to juggle to much with company issues by having it fall on the teams in EU and NA.
