Can we have an update on the situation.

[Dale]

you left out the second contributing factor--industry. if you actually looked at country, it's land formations, how it's cities/population/industries have devoloped and positioned themselves it should pretty evident...but I'm not feeding this trolling anymore. We had been doing a pretty good job of focusing on what is going on over there for a couple nights now until this started up.. It's 5:30 AM here now, and I need to get some sleep.

I"m not trolling

I'm holding these people responsible for what they did, and what you are saying really does sound like you are making excuses for them. That's how it comes across, and pointing that out isn't trolling. I"m not trying to be mean, just saying it sounds like excus- making to me.

I don't see how the topography or the growth of industry in western japan in any way helps justify what this company did. And if you didn't want to talk about this all you had to do was not talk about it

Hey everyone,

Most of you may have read the follow-up on PlayOnline news regarding the servers. (for those of you that haven’t here is a link: http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/pol...ews20547.shtml)

First of all I just wanted to say from myself and on behalf of the rest of the Community Team, thank you so much for being patient and understanding in these tragic times. We’re really impressed and moved by how strongly you all support Japan and your efforts to donate.

With the servers being down, many of you are wondering what’s going on with Vana’diel time and your plants, traverser stones, besieged, etc. Pretty much, just think of this as really long server maintenance, which means that unfortunately your plants will be withered, but the number of traverser stones Joachim sets aside for you will have increased, and besiege will pick up where it was left off.

We will give you updates on the situation and again thank you very much for your kind words and compassion.

You know what I just relaized? What about the people who were in the midst of raising a chocobo?

Gonna be a lot of pissed off Chocobo's?
They should give the GMs the permission/ability to fix it.

i was actually in the middle of loading out of Abyssea Misseareux, and trying to load up Valkurm Dunes when the servers were cut off. I hope that i dont have issues trying to log on, having the game tell me my character is lost in Sweden Borgian Space (Kingdom Hospital reference if you are knowledgable of it). gonna be quite annoying if it cant find my character and/or its lost. I havent had an experience like this with FFXI, im not sure what their systems do.

If there is, there was fair warning before hand.

Unfortunately, the movement speed couldnt get any dang slower, and trying to run to the entrance was just taking forever, with no warp scrolls, and cudgel on CD, i was pretty much screwed. I am very accustomed to a 1 minute countdown as to when the servers are being shut down, with updates every 10 seconds, then every 5 seconds after 30 seconds is left. Not just an immediate cut off when 6 struck the hour.

From experience: If you did not finish loading into the new zone before the server shut down, you will appear in the last zone.

*edit* And as soon as you appear, you will be booted for time. Thats what happened to me.

Good thing you don't lose your temps anymore.

I heard a rumor that if u log out inside Abyssea, the time continues to tick even if your not logged into the game? Does this hold true? I'm actually not worried about it since im sure ill just have a plethora of Stones waiting for me at Joachim, however, such a wasted time of 120 minutes sadly.

Yes. This is true.
