    and so what little faith i had left in humanity dies with this post ...please go jump under a truck

    yes im miffed i cant play but if the power saved makes even the slightest difference to the people of japan then it is all worth it

    all the FFXI communitys (well most of us) thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

    i saw somewhere a post sugesting an in game item that could be brought with the proceeds going to help with the disaster make it happen SE

    OP you are 99.9% what is wrong with the world. You are a selfish self-centered little worm.

    Why don't you take a look at this http://www.abc.net.au/news/events/ja...eforeafter.htm and get a look at what's really going on over there. This is the worst disaster they've experienced since WWII.

    People are dead, people are trapped, some people are without food and/or water. They are dealing with rolling mandatory blackouts now. I would rather SE shut the servers down and the people of Japan could get electricty for cooking and heat and things they need. You are a horrible excuse for a human being.

    MOST of us players would rather SE shut the servers down for a while for the better of humanity over there. Don't worry you'll see your damn tarutaru/Galka/Elvaan/Mithra/Hume soon enough. If you're worried about not being able to perform self-gratifying acts without seeing mithras running around... try real porn for a change.

    Or better yet crawl back into the hole you came from.

    Some of us have real live friends over there we are worried about and have not heard from. Some of us have real live friends over there we have heard from but they are still dealing with a lot right now, while you sit in your comfy house without a care in the world. I agree with a previous poster, you should be sent over there to help clean up.

    To Be Honest...I would rather be there with them then here having to listen to total morons like you!!

    By all means. Let's tell them to bring the servers back up so YOU can play. This game was only made for YOU and YOU are the only person that matters in the game.

    Seriously?

    Since you now have some free time on your hands, I suggest you update yourself as to what is happening in the real world and not the virtual one you apparently have your only residence in.

    The Japanese government made a request. SE is honoring that request. Most of us who have traits called "logic" have no problem with this.

    It is now time for you to leave the confines of your basement.

    Maybe the OP is living in some Vault-Tech vault where the experiment is you don't have food and water access if you're not playing a game 24/7? Anyways be glad they have said that atm this is just for a week. Though I do personally doubt the electric shortages will mostly if not all be fixed after a week. SE is a company and know that they will be loosing money the longer the servers down and that those like myself who have a merge sometime down the line are having it pushed back even more now which for some causes some stress. So, yes the push back of the update and merge is a little annoying for some along with not being able to play; but I would rather have them take as much time needed to help out the power grid so that more important things can have the power they need. Along with SE knowing that there will be a higher chance of the servers not going down due to any black outs.
    Oh and I would be 100% for an in game item that would be a sort of memorial type thing, that we could get to show our support. Especially for those who might not be able to donate money via other means at this time.

    Hell guy, they are in a difficult time now, there are more important things in live than Final Fantasy, if they are turning off the servers for a week, it is because the country has requested to keep electric power usage at minimun, playing a game is nothing important compared to other things they can use there with electricity, don't be a dumbass and try to get some emphaty to those there...

    This topic is odviously one-sided, while i feel bad for the japanese part of me agrees with the OP.
    If it were an american company and the gov "kindly asked" them to shut down power they would have told them to suck a rail-road spike were still getting paid.

    Actually I think a US company could get in trouble law wise if the same thing happened on the west coast. Not sure what or how exactly but I'm sure it would be equal to whatever happen in the case you're burning a fire without a burn permit during a burn ban issued during a severe drought. Just that it would obviously be on a higher scale and maybe even more costly money wise

    During a state of emergency, individuals and companies rights are temporarily placed on hold to ensure the good of the general populace. Not only would a company that refused to follow emergency decrees face serious criminal penalties, the backlash from consumers who found that company's behavior self-serving would more than cause them to lose more revenue in the long-run.
