Can we have an update on the situation.

[Dale]

I was referring mostly to you and the princess (lol, internet) you seem to be white-knighting, but what makes you think that the moderators of this forum are going to have more info about the power shortage in Japan than CNN? SE (much less some random forum moderator) doesn't know anything more than what the government is announcing at this point.



Hey, I didn't say the moderators were Martians! I don't get what you're trying to say!

I"m not white-knighting anyone, just pointing out the posts i enjoy reading

And the fact they work for Square Enix I would assume means they would be privy to information about the company's plans i myself would not be. Perhaps this is an unreasonable assumption, but i don't think so

Nattack is a cool guy

Apparantly he is very well-educated, smart, and compassionate also

But all that aside, i'm sure he's not so smart as to not benefit from a genius like Socrates, so maybe he should take that quote to heart

It's an unreasonable assumption when the company's plans may consist of:

1) The servers are down until Japan's power situation settles down.
2) The servers are going to be copied to laptops with alien batteries to sustain them during the rolling blackouts.

...and they are forum moderators.


The original argument made was that they were spending too much time moderating (doing their job) when they should be helping to get the game back up quicker (not their job) or updating us on the power situation in Japan and calling company CEO's to ask them "are we there yet daddy?"(not their job). One is certainly less ridiculous than the other, but both deserved to be called out.

what does socrates have to do with having common sense, if he was so bright he would have geniused himself out of the death penalty

I kinda gather that everyone has their Opinion on what posts are posted, some ppl are out to bash on those that just want the servers up, some are out to bash on people just to bash on people lol, I know for a fact that everyone on this forum cant wait for the servers to be back up and running, i am one of those people trust me. Everyone is looking for more information, i would love to wake up and see japan back to what it was...... but i know it will be awhile, SE says a week..... outstanding. But seeing the pictures and hearing the news i honestly can say if the servers are down for a week right on, if they are down for a month, well right on also.

The OP asked a simple question, has anyone heard any info or and update on what is going on. I can say no i have not heard anything other than Japan is a mess right now. Im not here to say ppl that want to get back and play the game we all love are wrong, im also not here to say that ppl dont care. im here saying that our friends need our thoughts and support and with all this bickering about whos right and whos wrong just aggrivates us more.

Patience my friends, FFXI will be there when things get sorted out. SE said they need to conserve power so watch the news, CNN NBC ABC or whatever you get and when its time we all will know it.

Finally someone that made sense of the BS ... i watch everything i can to see whats going on in JP i only come here to see if there was any new updates and im so tired of reading people bitching at people... granted some people said some messed up stuff... and maybe they should be punished but leave that for karma.... would be great if people stuck to posts that were relevant and if a person is speaking misinformed ... inform them politely and move on ;p

Well Nattack why am i not surprised you think you're smarter than socrates too

[Dale]

Now that hurts my feelings Starr...that you think i'm a terrible person ; ;

[Selzak]

It is a well-known fact that philosophers have absolutely no common sense. You can't have a deep, stimulating, three day debate over whether or not a table exists and have common sense too.

That's what happens when you google quotes though.


I'm just being mean now, my point(s) have been clearly made. Peace.

I'm gonna take a back seat here and watch Dale become a king
