Can we have an update on the situation.

[Gadanae]

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.

That was my point exactly, thank you for affirming it. As for Raist, reading is good. Do more of it then you would know what I was meaning.

As for the threats to our accounts, you have also hit the nail on the head with what I was trying to say earlier. I think it absolutely ridiculous the amount of emails that not only I, but others who post on these forums have recieved in regards to having our accounts banned if we continute to speak our minds. They have time for this yet they don't have time to keep us informed of progress being made to bring a game back online that WE PAY for. I wonder how much of the player base they will lose now because of this blunder.

Censorship sucks. Period.

No, I think he got the point- it was just a bad one.

"SE employees" aren't taking a break from their usual jobs of turning the hand-cranks that feed internets into FFXI so that they can ban your forum account.

This is really sad...I mean really, SE has been communicating with us, and it's been what, three days since they shut the servers down. They updated us on the situation recently. The OP should not be expecting updates every day because the people of Japan have more important things to worry about.

It still am amazes me how much MMORPG's are like a drug to some, and when those who are addicted don't get their fix, you get threads like these that pop up on different forums. Will the server come back up? Yes, in time, but we all need to have patience and let Japan recover from this tragedy. There are other things to do besides playing Final Fantasy XI.

Crazy talk.

Yes well they must not be too busy doing other things if they have time to write me a gazillion emails about my supposed offensive forum posts, which should be way lower on their list of priorities than giving us updates on the servers, i can tell you that

No i think from reading the subject matter of his post he didn't get the point being made at all. It had absolutely nothing to do with where a forum could be hosted from or any of that nonsense

[Neika]

Just because the mods have time to monitor the forums doesn't mean the higher ups in SE have the time to give them updates. Pretty sure the ppl who decide when the servers come back up are not the same ppl monitoring the forums.

The servers are still down. There's your update.

Here we go again. Someone who is crying that those of us complaining that SE isn't more of a responsible company that we are "heartless", "uncompassionate", "addicts", yada yada yada.

I've said time and time again that I feel for the people of Japan and that is genuine. However, i'm not a sympathist by nature. The world has had major disasters everywhere. Life goes on. Business goes on. In fact it should. By grinding everything to a halt (like SE has done in a way by shutting the servers down) it only makes things worse. The best thing to do in the face of peril is stand, be strong, don't let the situation beat you, you beat it. It's what drives mankind. If we all threw up our hands and quit things the moment things went sour, then we wouldn't survive. My compassion for the situation of our servers being down has lasted until now. It has changed because SE CAN take steps to bring us back online, and has not. And it also angers some of the population of this game that steps could have been taken BEFORE THIS TRAGEDY EVEN HAPPENED that would have ensured that a game WE PAY for stayed online.

Now I know this may be a grand assessment to be sure. But seriously, it is not the fault of the players that SE is a company that was completely unprepared for this disaster. As stated before, there are many companies that run MMO games out of Japan that are still online, or have gotten back online without a hiccup. Konami is having np with this it seems.

Getting really tired of people saying that people that feel the same way I do are told that we are inhuman, callous, hopeless FFXI addicts. I love the game sure but in this off-time I have been doing many things outside of the game, things that I have been doing EVEN BEFORE the game was down. FFXI is not my life, but it's a part of it, I miss it, and i'm angered that it's down when it doesn't have to be. If that makes me a bad person in your eyes, so be it. I'm not on this earth to please you.
