Can we have an update on the situation.

[Harbor]

I well expected an update or the servers to be up at the stoke of 12 after this laughable week of excuses they so proudly call business. Me and a few collage friends could have the servers up and running with a few cases of beer and a handful of generators, and we could probably have done it on the cheap. Mods could u rush letting us know weather or not to just go ahead and install rift or if we might actually see something to do this monday night.

And you probably think that none of the maintenance team, dev team or administrative team was directly affected by the earthquake/tsunami. Nope they don't have to be out cleaning their house up off the street or helping their neighbor try to find and/or rescue loved ones. Nah they can just live in their cubical with a cot and corner fridge, and completely forget that their families and freinds are currently suffering loss of loved ones. None of that matters as long as they give you constant updates on when your game will be back. /end sarcasm

I dunno Anethia, I mean, someone who can't even spell college is probably not going to understand, even with the /end sarcasm

Ill be sure to tell my spouse next time her family members are sick or dieing, or our hell if our neighbor gets snowed in or loses his dog she should close the winery. Surely the deliveries to chains of grocery stores, distributors, restaurants and the patrons or entertainment affected by this will understand, right? None of that matters as long as we the few have constant satisfaction in our own lives, hell to the fact we burnt more bridges in something as irrelevent as a company or customer satisfactions and our lively hood.

A quick question for you.

If their is a fire in your local mall & you are located 25 miles from the fire do you close you business? What if two of your employees family members were there shopping? Would you close your business down for two weeks if you mother died?

If you said yes to any of the questions then you have no idea what running a business is about. i know Japan is not doing well, but do not use the fact that people may have lost family members and the such as a reason to not run their business, cause that's means nothing to a business. You are entitled to two days off to "grieve" then back to work. If SE is really keeping the servers down just cause of the fact that people have family members affected by the situation then that is horrible business & I do hope that they lose a lot of their player base cause of their idiotic decision.

you did not just compare a fire in a mall..... to this?.....you cant be that ignorant?....can you?

From a business perspective what is the difference? Call me ignorant if you want idc. The fact will never change, people die everyday & life goes on. No matter what happens a business stays running. You do not close your doors for weeks/months because your employees lost family members. Either tell those employees to get to work or fire them it is simple, but do not wait for them to be ready to return to work.

Imagine if this happened in Canada, would SE shutdown & make the JP players wait? Seriously, they would not even think about it cause they want to make money.

I do care about what is going on in Japan but how long can companies close their doors cause of it? If they all stay shutdown they will not only hurt their own company but also the economy in Japan will be so low they will never recover.

But you will just post remarks about my opinion and so be it, this will be my last post defending my remarks. Not going to argue over what I believe compared to what you believe!

Dude not gonna lie but everything you just said there oozed ignorance and Douchebaggery(is that even a word?) you obviously dont care about whats happening in japan outside of "let me hide the fact i want to play behind 'i r care about se'" unless you are a shareholder you cant -Really- complain about the down time. As SE reps have stated themselves the downtime of public transport and people needing time to grieve/locate loved ones are why the servers are down (personally speaking i havent heard from my father or brother since the 11th. so yeah i 'Kinda' understand why se is minimizing production regardless of how much i need an escape from reality)

Now i expect some kind of smarta$$ comment from you and to be honest it'll probably be an interesting read, But seriously Either Quit or keep quiet nothing you've tried stating in your defense is viable and only really proves how stupid you can act with regards to business.

Lotsa luv
