How has this got to do with the current situation? It was horrible what happened in Haiti but ffxi wasn't affected by that.

I"m a little annoyed at the servers being shut down also, i'm not going to lie. Is it awful what happened in Japan? You bet - and if this is actually going to help things then i'm all for it, but I don't see how it would. Square Enix also has a responsilbity to their global fanbase as well, as it's an international company, so they need to take their full clientale into account. I assume they took these balances into concern.

I live near two huge rivers, which flooded couple years back leaving me without power and water for over a week. Shutting down game servers woudn't have helped me a bit, and I really don't understand how doing this in Japan is going to help either. Everyone around those nuclear plants you speak of has already been evacuated. Those plants are already inoperable and not producing any energy, and if anything, shutting down the game for so many japaneese players who probably could use an escape from a reality now more than ever may not have been the wisest thing to do. And I really do doubt taking down the FF11 servers for a week is going to make any real difference what so ever with the problems japan is having right now. But as always, i could be wrong.
Clearly you don't know why the servers have been turned off.
