Can we have an update on the situation.

[Loeyuue]

I have a feeling that they won't be able to get the servers back up next week. From what I read, the situation at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant is still pretty bad. At least 3 or 4 of the 6 reactors will have to be decommissioned. Many other plants are shutdown as well. I don't think they'll be able to bring the shutdown nuclear reactors back up too soon. With the rolling black out and lack of electricity, they probably won't restart the servers until they have enough stable power supply for other more important needs.

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

/applaud. Wholeheartedly agree.

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.

I don't care Neika, it just looks bad that their underlings can find the time to perform such pointless duties as those during a time like this when there should be so many other things being focused on.

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

This is exactly why what you guys are saying doesn't make any sense. Neither of you have any idea of what you're talking about.

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.

I think you are missing my point. SE is not just one division sitting in Japan. They have MASSIVE operations in CA and WA in the US, as well as several divisions in JP. I have seen maybe a dozen different moderator's names so far. It's not like it requires a massive team to watch these things, and again...they can be located anywhere in the world.

and you miss his point that people who work on this forum are not the people from the dev team, are probably not even in japan (for the us/eu forums) and dont know better than you when server will be up

[Selzak]

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.

I could get my clothes looking real nice with that much irony.

You have no idea how networking, software systems, the law, or the Internet works. You should avoid being so aggressive about things that you're clueless about.

Lol, they do these "pointless duties" because it's what they are paid to do. This is their job. It is not their job to worry about stuff with the servers. They are probably entry level employees who aren't even in Japan atm.

Oh I'm sure they could find better things to do with their time. Like get in touch with their bosses and then update us on what's going on. I'd much rather see something like that in my email than these threats to bann me from the game for suggesting some of these posters may want to consider therapy because of their obvious anger managmenet issues lol

Ok since SE has so many employees in so many places..... here's a hint. Start working on creating mirror servers in the U.S. RIGHT NOW... or wherever you'd like to put them, and get em up pronto. Get your employees OFF monitoring this forum and put em to work getting your service back up so you can actually EARN the money you charged us for March instead of trying to appease us with giving us a free month like we're monkeys looking for a banana. And I work in IT so DON'T tell me it will take a long time to do this because it wll not. Longest portion of time would be to actually get the equipment and get it housed somewhere that has reliable electricity, and that doesn't even take long. And spend less time monitoring these forums and sending threatening emails to people that are obviously disgruntled with your service and actually DO something about it. As far as I can see, they are not doing anything about it at the moment. Maybe I would change my view of the situation IF THEY UPDATED US ON THE PROGRESS OF GETTING THE SERVERS BACK ONLINE, but it doesn't seem that they care enough about doing that, but they sure as hell care about banning us from these forums in any way they can.

Congratulations SE, whe you started open forums for your members, you opened up a can or worms for yourself. Now you get to hear the complaints and gripes from all the peole who have played this game for years that are sick of the way SE does some things. I bet I get banned for saying that. Lord knows they will ban people left and right and destroy their already shrinking player base (especially after this) rather then actually address and take care of the problem.

THIS is the point i'm trying to make. I hope everyone gets it now, and no one is confused.
