SE you have a Worldwide Franchise, and your support is a let down.

[Nacht]

boobs, and no I'm not referring to funbags.

Well, damn... Why not?

[Anon]

So any form of disagreement is bad? Even when it's supported by reasonable arguments-or sometimes <gasp> FACTS?

To criticise a process or policy without knowing whether it actually exists is pointless, so forgive me if I challenge such criticsm.

I'm willing to give SE the benefit of the doubt. Until I hear something about SE's efforts to for recovery, I'm willing to accept that (under the situation) they are having difficulty dealing with the situation and am willing to wait for service to resume. I've been in those difficult situations...I've had it take away precious time with my daughter, had to work remotely on servers while trying to eat dinner with my family. I've missed birthday parties and funerals because of a critical system was down.

Guess I just have a different perspective than you. I'm sorry you don't have it too.

Well at least one of you admits it. In summation I disagree with your train of thought therefor I am wrong. I never bashed any of you that were ok with the wait. I never made a negative remark concerning your bright sunshiny day outlook. Yet over and over again you (& others) have taken every chance to slam those of us who do not have your outlook. I'm glad this moment happened and you were honest with the "Sorry you don't have MY perspective" remark. My apologies. I have my perspective. And it looks good from here. And don't worry OP. You've done nothing wrong. Keep with-in the context of the conversation and don't let these guys bait you into anything else.

I saw a bunch of text an blanked out.. then remembered what I wanted to say.. to the above post!

Prof. Farnsworth: That proves nothing! And furthermore, you'd think I could remember a thing like that! Plus, who are you anyway?

It's all getting too serious.. WHY SO SERIOUS FORUM!?

@glitch you're telling me it would cost SE millions of dollars a day to have a multimode 12f fiber connection networked into some loaded 38ru free standing server cabinets anywhere else in the world apart from japan? Because they already have offices in London and California. You sir love to over exaggerate

[Flunklesnarkin]

Glitch was mostly describing how unrealistic having multiple servers in different countries would be for ffxi

some games do regional servers.. but then you don't play with people from other countries and that's an entirely different thread / discussion lol

@Basher

Yeah you obviously read my post carefully before replying. Moving on...

Very slick.. using a dead char name.

i honestly can´t understand how a worldwide franchise did not have a backup plan for this kind of unexpected issues,

It might be a good idea to learn what 'backup plan,' and 'unexpected' mean. How can someone plan for the unexpected? The fact that one makes a backup plan, implies that they expected things to unfold in a certain way.

[Zarchery]

Why would Square Enix need backup servers? It took a 9.0 magnitude earthquake, which was among the top 5 largest earthquakes in history, AND near meltdowns at several nuclear power plants, to trigger their FIRST INTERRUPTION IN NINE YEARS.

You can plan for contingency, but not every contingency.

Laughing my $%# off at the moment. Great point!
