Next review date for servers, Tues 22nd JST

[Loeyuue]

For anyone that wants to leave because of this incident, just shut up and go. We would be much happier without you in the game when the game is back up.

I am on here cuz the game is down. yep. I am wanting the game back on. yep. SE most likely is happy we want the game back but I bet they are starting to wonder if they have unleashed The Crazies. lol and no doubt I am one but at least I do still have enough control to be waiting not whining. Crying maybe but hopefully not whining. ^^ And posting yes. It keeps my fingers up and nimble enough to play whm albeit maybe not all that well.

At this rate, the date the servers come back up and the next update will be one and the same. lol

Also, why is there another thread where people are demanding updates (even though they said it'll still be a few more days to know more) and then once they get an update saying they will have to re-evaluate in a few more days, they are mad that they got the update.

Yes, it's perfectly natural to demand updates. Even if they update states they have no new news, is still better than no news at all. I'm not upset that they released an update saying wait two more days. I'm upset that they're most likely going to pull this crap, wait two more days, wait three more days, wait another week, rather than tell us they can't see the servers coming up in the foreseeable future.

If they have uninterrupted power (which they kind of hinted towards while they were considering taking down the servers) and they're keeping the servers down till the whole of Japan is stabilized with power, let us know that. If they do not have uninterrupted power and are keeping the servers down to prevent possible damage from a failed switchover to backup power, let us know. As I said before, some news is better than no news at all.

Also, why is there another thread where people are demanding updates

This issue has been debated over and over in lots of threads...currently, it's been going on in these threads:

...and that's just off of page one. Go on to page two, and you see a couple more still available:

There's one formal request for a more detailed update looked like it would maintain it's civility and purpose, as it's structured more in a petition format, but some just couldn't resist the urge to hi-jack that one too:

Hopefully it will get back under control again. Just state whether you agree/disagree in that thread please. Don't need any arguments--just simple /signed will suffice, or even just a /no or |Thanks for the offer, but I have to pass.|

It really isn't about the location of the servers or where the earthquake hit, its the energy shortage.

Raist = Charitou? Or just a 3rd cousin?

From what I've heard Tokyo really only has rolling blackouts to deal with at this point. Not much in the way of structural damage.

[Lutschfactor]

yes avina i know and understand that. but people still work and have lives and have jobs to go to. im not saying get the servers up now, just wondering where they are located. not that hard of a question to answer, but thanks for posting for no reason with any form of answer. i can understand if they want to shut the servers down b//c of blackouts or they want the power diverted else where. thats obvious. my whole thing is people still have to work. even SE is still working. if u dont think that ur crazy.
