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

[RAIST]

just gonna copy and paste from another post... eh.. call me lazy. Someone also pointed out that info says that mass transit runs through there as well. Maybe this draws a little more perspective on SE's precarious situation:

Interesting tidbit of info I just stumbled when another thread prompted me to look up some stuff on SE. Here's a link to some info on SE's 23 story building that houses 4 of SE's divisions (SE holdings, SE limited, Taito Corp, and SE Business Holdings):

http://www.tokyoarchitecture.info/Bu...unka-Quint.php

If you map it and zoom in and out, you will notice it is fairly close to several key features like HOSPITALS and POLICE STATIONS, the Tokyo Metro Government building, post offices... In fact, there is a hospital and one police station within just a few blocks.

All right, now i got really mad.
You guys are calling me insensitive, childish bastard, how about this, i´ve been in japan, and i loved the culture, i have stayed there for a couple of months teaching spanish for free, just because i feel like it.
I have learned so much from the japanese culture, and i loved it.

You guys just keep judging away, when i have not even say anything to disrespect anyone, as a matter of fact i have thanked everyone just to post on this topic, because i value your time, on discussing on one matter.

Discussing is not the same as judging, and you guys need to realize that. I do feel horrible about the japanese situation, i have donated for the cause, my sister is giving home to 3 japense friends she have( cause she used to live there), we paid for half of their plane tickets, we know they have lost everything.

So do not come and tell me that i am a selfish bastard, because i know i have done more than all of you, combined, you guys are just posting all the regrets and shit, like little kids. It is impossible not feeling bad about the hole situation, it was just overwhelming, but you are actually not doing a shit. Just complaining, disrespcting and judging to people that just think different than you.

Most of you guys are just crying on your asses sitting all day long on the computer, saying "yeah, bitch i have a life you, don´t. well what a great life, why don´t you get up and do something on your community to get founds for Japan, i know that would help.

This is the last time i post on this topic, and the main idea of it, was "yeah shit happens", and we feel bad about it, but we have to learn from the mistakes, so this won´t happen again.

I am not insensitive at all, i just all the time learning to focus on what can i do today to improve things, feeling bad and doing anything, it just won´t help anyone.

Grow up little kids. (not all of you, some of you guys seems really nice folks)

It helps if you take your own advice, and not behave like a child throwing a fit when you get criticized for sounding like an insensitive twit. The coarse language, arrogance, and pretentiousness... what the hell is with the unwarrented sense of self pride? For all you know, one of these posters could have helped far more than you have, but that is irrelevant. Your original post is offensive, and outright insensitive, and your posting lies is the equivalent of saying "I HAVE A BLACK FRIEND SO I CAN SAY THE N WORD AND NOT BE RACIST." Rather than be a hypocrite, why don't you get off your computer and continue helping this cause you claim to support so much, infant, Lord knows we don't need a kid like you posting such slanderous dribble.

Would you guys please stay out of this thread with the white knighting. You just don't get it. Those of us who are unhappy with SE know how you feel. And have asked you a million times to just please... go post somewhere else. Your internet bravado is just dry and boring now. The op was a bit nicer than alot of us negative posters have been. And you guys still proceeded to jump on him and flame him all you could. He responded with thought out answers. He tried not to get into a flame war with you. He tried to respect your responses and answer in kind. But none of you would have it. If you didn't call him names or accuse him of being an insensitive jerk then you googled up some numbers and threw that at him.
The reason I personally am so upset is because for over 8 years now I've made my monthly payment on time. And the one time I'd like more than "Talk to you Tuesday" I get "Talk to you Tuesday". Seriously? That's adequate service? No. It is not. So please. Will you guys take all your rainbows and smiles to the million other threads you inundate with mindless banter? And leave the small portion of us with the gumption to not appreciate the current situation alone? I've attacked none of you anywhere. I have responded in kind. And will continue to do so.
As for the pm asking how I've not gotten banned. That's an easy answer kind sir. To ban me for responding to you they would have to ban alot of you for attacking posters like myself. Call it what you want. You guys have your internet torches burning and you flame everyone you can.

As much as people get all defensive due to the things happening in Japan I will have to agree with Vedabe. It's bound to have others saying something to defend or simply to oppose the topic, it will always happen. I completely understand his point of view, and when he said that he didn't refer it to the Japanese themselves. He was talking about a company. If it wasn't for this disaster all you pretend defenders would be up in arms with him, because I hear a lot of that in-game. The fact is Square Enix is not SquareSoft and that's the difference from the Final Fantasy Series being an excitement and being a disappointment.

Here is a challenge to SquareEnix, step up your game or consult the lead team from the old company, SquareSoft. Open your mind about server location and even multiple locations for that matter.

I'm glad the servers are down actually, because I get so much more done and I'm having a blast working out extra hours and hanging out with friends outside the game world. Yes, I miss it to a certain extent and am hoping they come with something refreshing when they are back online to set a "in memory of" type of event. Adversity brings forth excellence.

Oh and for all you defenders or pretenders in my opinion they should have their server somewhere else getting money and donating that money (that they are not making now) to the people of need in Japan.

Thanks for reading.

Vedabe, just out of curiosity what field do you work in?

[Flunklesnarkin]

I suggest trying a new mmo during the server down time

That is the bigest lie I've ever heard. Only children get to play for free.

I think it is abolutely insane people expect a 9 year old game to still have the support it used to. Diablo 2 finally cut off support last September for its old dinosaur of a self... we should be lucky they still have phone representatives for a game that is considered ancient in the MMO world.

@Anon OP is a dunce, saying "I donated to Japan, so you better get my game back up, you failures." is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. If he wants to berate the company he can do it on one of the numerous fansites. If he wants to curse up a storm, this isn't the place for it either.

welfare is a better mmo, they practically give you everything. and discourage exping

TearValerin, everytime i read these threads you are always flaming some other person.

His post was not childish. There was no course language. Unwarranted sense of pride? Insensitive? Slanderous dribble? lol I really don't see how this mild post could have offended you so. Your post was far more offensive.

So he thinks Square should have had a back up plan and he doesn't like their service. That's basically all he said. You are exagerating the contents of his post to the max and in doing so you will undermine any point you ever had to make.
