Temporary Suspension of the Services Due to an Earthquake

[Zyeriis]

@ Sasaya: We are glad that you found your way back to us. ^^

@ Complainers about that FF isnt runing:

Im sure alot japanese who were hit by the Tsunami/Earthquake will not return to the game. ; ;

So before anyone here complains about that FFXI/FFXIV isnt runing, think about those ppl, players who lived in the suffering areas and will maybe not return. Becouse they are dead or lost them homes.
So if you ever had meet a japanese or have japanese friends into the game be aware of this.
Im very woried about a friend im not sure if shes safe.
I can only hope.

So stop complains about FF isnt runing. Noone cares about FF right now.
Mabye only the obsesed ones.

Don't think I've seen anyone complain that FFXIV isn't running.

WHAT??! I think you misread the misspelling of obsessed (obsesed).

LOL

I love how people act like thousands of people don't die everyday. YES what is happening in Japan is horrible. I guess when it isn't a lot of people all at once then it is easy to ignore and act like it isn't happening.

Yeah Zeitzone how did you know that everyone who wants to play FFXI right now is fat? You don't sound ignorant at all.

Its not that there isnt ppl dieing everyday, but if alot ppl die at one place its more tragic for those ppl there.
Thats the difference. Sure Million ppl die at a day, but if its 10per region it will not hurt the Region, but there die "tausand" ppl in 1 region, thats a very high number at one spot, that makes it horrible.

And i dont know where you seen a "Fat" in my Text Ö.ö

Looks like i forgott a "S".

Actually, not so much....guess they just got used to it being down a lot. Drove me nuts during beta.

[Zeitzone]

Is FFXIV any good? I was thinking about to try it but i heard its kinda as cheap as WoW and there is no AH.
I thought maybe its just that way becouse the game is new and they didnt put much into it yet.
Some ppl say it has nearly no cutscenes, that whould be really sad, i need a thick storyline to play a game or i never touch it.
And Mithras/Tarus look very ugly in FFXIV.

I'll give it another year before my final decision on it...FFXI had a buttload of things wrong with it at startup too.

But as it is, it just doesn't hold enough for me to pay for two services when they finally start billing it, even with the discount. If I ever finish all the crap on my to-do list in XI--might be a different story. For now, just sticking to the one I would be playing the most anyway.

My condolences to all who are affected by the earthquake, tsunami and subsequent nuclear accidents.
I found out, by now, that all my friends and their families in Japan are well and I can only begin to imagine what it must be like for those who hear different news about their loved ones.
As it is with disasters it brings out the best and the worst in people and I must say that the Japanese people have my admiration how resilient, disciplined and altruistic they are under these harsh circumstances. I can't imagine how those who put the issue of being unable to play for a week at the top priority see the world they live in but I wish that they will open their eyes and look around at some point. There is not only disaster that you miss with this point of view...

I will contribute as much as I can afford to help relief the suffering for a people and a culture with which I feel more connected than the one I was born in. I know that there are numerous issues, disasters, suffering people all over the world but you can't help everywhere and I just hope that there are people that choose to support those who need help in Libya, Africa, South America, Iraq... The list is way too long, isn't it.

I mourn for all the people and cultural heritage that was lost but I know we can rebuild it, as beautiful as it was before and, if nothing else, I welcome the renewed discussion about saving energy and the necessity (or unnecessity) of nucelar power!
That is an easy way to contribute, I'd say. Switch off the light if it isn't needed.

You will make it through, Japan! And you're not alone!
