Doing an event to raise money this week where I work at where would the raised money get sent too? also some ideas for the event would be nice (work at Gamestation so game related event probably)

[Zyrs]

I know it was a hard decision but it was definitely the right one. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

[Neika]

I hope you and your families are safe. Looking forward to continuing my adventures in Vana'diel when you are able to turn the servers back on

I'm stunned that this wasn't done sooner, whether by choice, or by force, but I support the move, even if it selfishly means I can't level this weekend.
Kudos on the no-payment for the month of April, I might just donate my monthly fee to charity.

This will upset a lot of people and i am one of them, hope your feed back center is ready to work double over time.. and i hope when a quake hits North America you shut down the game again just to see the response from are friends over the ocean

wow. how self centered. You would rather see the electricity diverted to a video game rather thank...oh i don't know...HOSPITALS? I would like to say I'm shocked by this posters response but I'm not.

I hope all the Japanese FFXI players are keeping safe and well.

You're a terrible person.

While people are dying, losing there families, friends, houses, pets, jobs, cars, and everything else they have.
You're worried about you not being able to play Final Fantasy XI for a week.

This natural disaster is to blame, it's not like Square-Enix magically wishes to shut down Final Fantasy XI and it's other services just to harm you. With 3 nuclear reactors out, Japan needs all the energy in that area it can get.

I'm pretty sure this'll be your only post on this forum but, it's people like you that make the world a bad place.

I would also like to extend my sincere condolences to everyone affected by the earthquake, tsunamis, and subsiquent aftershocks. My heart goes out to you all.

The game servers are centered in Japan and Japan just dealt with a massive earthquake, in case you didn't hear. If we had an earthquake like that in the states, I'm pretty sure the only thing that would go down is playonline.com/ff11us and no updates from FFXI_EN Twitter.

Take a minute to think about how things are over there. Now imagine if this earthquake hit your area and your house was on fire after being hit by a tsunami. Imagine if your major energy source was taken out and you were told you had to turn all your electricity off to conserve as much energy for more important things.

Some people, I swear.
