Can we have an update on the situation.

Back-up servers in California/Europe (Do you need it?) (Can I have it?)

No.No you can not.

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.

lol....

This is the most awesome post ever

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

OK this may be new most awesome post ever

This thread reads better than a novel lol

Wtf way move it to America....... A country that also has quakes, tornado's, that move would be counter productive, If they were going to move it the move it to a Country like French, German or UK they at least dont suffer from the ill effects of horroric weather like America does!!

I don't care where they move it, long as it has enough power to run their servers lol

A website or forum can be hosted from anywhere in the world, and monitored from blackberry while you sit at Starbucks if you had to. Doesn't necessarily mean this is being run out of Japan atm. Could just as easily be done via one of their offices in CA or WA.

That's like saying, "At least Maryland doesn't suffer from the ill effects of horrific weather like America does!!"

While they probably shouldn't put them in California, if a major earthquake did hit California the servers would be fine in...well they'd probably be fine just next door in Arizona. Regardless, it's a ridiculous argument to say that they should move them because of one disaster in the 10+ years the game has been running. Stop to gather your perspective for a bit and then ask yourself if Japan is really too dangerous a place for them to have their servers. If anything they should have back ups in various locations, but I wouldn't know about the costs involved in that.

/approve. If this company had any brains in it's leadership that would have been done years ago. Do you think companies like Blizzard have back up plans? Mirror Servers? Of course they do.

With as much money as SE has made, and the low cost of doing such a thing, why haven't/can't they.

Hope they learn something from this, and take steps to make sure it doesn't happen again in the future.

I think you are missing her point.

The point was SE emoployees seem to have the time to meticulously monitor these forums seeminlgy 24/7 and flood our emails with threats to bann our accounts, yet can't find the time to update us on a more accurate timeline for when their servers will be back up.

I actually had my account threatened cause i suggested some guy who flamed me in a very neurotic manner may want to consider therapy lol

I understand wanting to keep the forums clean, but let's not go overboard as the secret word police shall we.
