Pride, CYA routine, management restructuring within the company... who knows. They are always slow to put information out there. But they did give a time frame for us to expect anything to happen. They didn't say up to one week. They specifically said AT LEAST ONE WEEK.
How about giving them that one week before you start demanding more info. If I say it will take one week for your part to arrive before I can fix your car, and I'll call you when it gets here. Don't start hounding me for details on it 3 days later. My response will be, when the part gets here, I can tell you more. But as far as I know it will be 1 week till the part arrives. I'll call you when it gets here. Don't get your feathers ruffled when the response is the same when the status is the same.

03-18-2011 01:41 PM #194They should just have multi servers like a read in another post . . .Like many other mmos have. I am sorry for what happened in japan and i am glad they did what they did by taking the servers down. But in a business mans stand point wouldn't servers in other locations be better ? I mean they wouldn't lose money like they will in april if they had a server in USA, Europe and any other country they cater to.

Ok, where in this did you see me request updates every few hours? IT"S BEEN FOUR DAYS. A smidgen of info would be nice at this moment. A miniscule drop. Something to tie people over. NOT updates every few hours, that's just ridiculous. But please don't tell me that the producers of FFXI cannot make time to write a simple note on the plans and progress of getting the servers back up and running. After all, the producer of FFXIV did.

And it's a bad way to do business and they need to break that trend now and give us updates, at the very least every 2 days or so would be nice.(0)

[Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XI FORUM Guidelines.] He's asking for more info to be provided to us now, not wait a week to tell us that we are going to wait another week. He wants an update on the progress. That's what those that support this thread are asking for.

Use your brain! They have power outage everyday for 3-4 hours.
All you need to know is online; if they got the power back up and stable I'm sure SE will turn the servers back on.(0)
03-18-2011 01:50 PM #198because the game could not function properly that way for just $13 USD a month. The bandwidth to synchronize all that data to support the game worlds for players across all regions, pay the additional ISP fees, dealing with differing regional laws, hiring the additional staff.. the overhead would shoot through the roof. That's just the obvious reasons.

For whatever reason, SE was determined to keep each game world open to all regions, and for logistically and financially, I'm sure it looked a heck of a lot better to house them all in one location. The choice for that location (Japan versus other nations) is open to another debate...but sure they had their reasons for that as well.
It is what it is. Would have never been an issue if not for the first disaster I am aware of that could/would have affected uptime in roughly a decade. Another disaster (fire, tornado, hurricane) could have had the same end effect elsewhere. Sometimes things just happen that are beyond our control.

A valid point, and good business sense. SE should take a hint from these posts and when they have recovered from this disaster, take steps to do just what is mentioned here so this does not happen again. Personally if I ran a business and had to eat the profit loss of a month's revenue just because I wasn't prepared for something like this, I would make dam sure that if it could slightly even happen again I would be ready the next time it does.

Exactly, its been 4 days, they said at least a week. Wait a couple more days and I'm sure you will get your update. If theres no new news by then i'm sure alot more ppl will be getting upset about it and voicing their feelings about it.
