Next review date for servers, Tues 22nd JST

[Avina]

Think maybe it's time to hang up my weapons in FFXI and go for FFXIV, maybe they can make that a better game. Not really interested in forking over more money to a company that doesn't care about it's customers enough to make sure the games stay running though.

Read a newspaper. Or just google the situation over there at the NY times. Or maybe that doesn't fit into your schedule of sitting here and writing your hate that your video game is down.

And for the record if there is any MMO I am concerned for in this, its XIV. XI has been going for nearly nine years, and has been on a bit of a resurgence in the past year with all of the new awesome content, meanwhile XIV doesn't have enough of a game there at the moment to even charge people and has a perpetually dwindling population... if any of the MMOs were to die from this its XIV hands down.

Oh and goodbye lol. All I can say is though, call your trolling opinions and whatnot but its trolling nonetheless and I'm glad SE is cleaning up.

after doing some research i found out their main office is located at:

SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD.
Shinjuku Bunka Quint Bldg. 3-22-7 Yoyogi,
Shibuya-ku,Tokyo 151-0053, Japan

don't know if the servers are there or not.

I found the reason for the game going down for a week reasonable. But now they're extending the downtime and it is the extension that I find unprofessional. A week should be sufficient time for a corporation as large as SE to find an alternate means of maintaining uptime.

they said "at least a week" as i (german) understand that term it means minimum 1 week, probably more

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 for of answer

Jeez dude, calm down, I was trying to address what I thought you were getting at with the rest of your post, given that you didn't only type "Where are the servers located." But whatever, my bad, I guess? Calm down a little and don't be so edgy.

I think the servers are located in Tokyo, or at least, I've never heard about them being somewhere else.

All I see is you telling everyone you can that resistance is futile. How many times do we have to say it? Those of us that aren't happy with Sqeenixs' approach are sympathetic to the seriousness of the situation the Japanese people face at this time. But that has 0... absolutely 0... to do with a business handling their business.

im very calm, we not in abyssea, or dyna or doing a NM to not be calm. thanks spamtastic.

I thought you were leaving?

Something that you are failing to realize is that this isn't just a business, its a Japanese business, which is very significant to this situation. Unlike in America, where we are extremely cut throat and have no problem screwing over the little guy, the Japanese as a whole view each and every one of them as having a social responsibility to one another. You don't put yourself on others, you don't prioritize yourself over others, and it would be a terrible PR move on SE's part to go and run their servers anyways when there isn't enough electricity available to effectively treat the sick, of which there are lots.

But even if we cut that out, and just say, how feasible is it from a purely business perspective, I already made a rather lengthy post on page 9 that lists a lot of things that SE would have to overcome in order to move their operation, which you seem to have just kinda breezed by and not addressed at all and prefer to just make the same broken argument.

[breau]

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.

lol i agree^^ and posting keeps me of biting on my fingers cause they grabbing for the keyboard all day long^^

You folks really need to stop White Knighting.

A week's grace period is fine, but after that it becomes Square Enix dropping the ball and not having a proper disaster recovery plan to maintain uptime and that is unprofessional.

No Avina it is you with the same broken arguement/fanboy approach. They are doing nothing in the way of rectifying this situation to a satisfactory level for a number of us. And no matter how many "down on bended knee" post by people like you are made.. people like me will not agree and do not care. Period.
