Can we have an update on the situation.

How do you know what they are running for servers compared to SE? no one knows this but you do? & MGS Online is a lot bigger then FFXI. Look it up, i could care less that you play it, but the facts tell the truth. Geez i love how you just sit on a frigging doughnut & you are now a doughnut maker.

no but common sense can be used to determine that servers for an MMORPG and an online shooter....are two different things. SE uses more power, so they where asked to shut off, the others most likely don't even use an 1/8 of what SE does.

and about the MGS Online vs FFXI banter, just looked them up out of curiosity:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Gear_Online
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XI

Granted, the articles are a bit dated, but there are some hard figures that prove a point that FFXI is likely a larger scled operation. MGSO had 1.3m subscribers in 2009. FFXI broke 2m in 2008. The article further states that FFXI has 32 gameworlds that can house 15k-20k users each. Granted, we only have the 24 gameworlds and the one test server--but if it's capable of supporting even just 15k per world, then we could theoritically go to over 7million users. Somehow I don't see MGSO reaching that level with just the PS3 platform support, so I SERIOUSLY doubt they have the infrastructure in place to support it.

Again, no confirmed hard numbers, purely speculation based on numbers that are supplied from another source (but, the 2008 number is confirmed by SE's own count). But...I think any reasonable person could draw the conclusion that SE's operation is just a weeeee bit bigger than Konami's. Especially if you throw in FFXIV and the Taito Corp. that is in the same building as well.

Thanks Raist,

I was going to pull the wiki up as well. All i was trying to say id that because he plays the game & says they only have 2 servers in BS. No way 1+ million players on 2 servers. We have this confirmed by CoD MW2 when their servers crashed cause of this.

I do know that FFXI using more resources but if you even look at MGS website they state the shutdown to save power. (but decided 2 days was long enough to conserve?weird) the only thing I am/have been trying to get into his incredibly thick skull is that I stated my opinion, without blasting him in any form. He is a better person cause he is able flam someone for expressing their opinion. WOW he is going to go very far in his life. If he has such a hard time accepting the fact not everyone thinks like him then he is in for a rude awakening when he is jobless, homeless, wifeless & living in his parents basement playing FFXI and being an elitist.

But again I will never say anything to disrespect a person for his/her opinion. Just do not expect me to get attacked and sit here.
