Version Update Delay

First and FOREMOST, take your time to get back up from this disaster. Vana'diel can wait till the cows come home for all I care. Reality takes precedence. Period. Though I am deeply appreciative of the announcement, it has nothing to do with the situation at hand; don't take it wrong. We knew you would delay this. We don't care about that, considering what's been happening there (and those that care more about a fantasy world over this one do not deserve to play; take that however you wish). Second, I'd rather hear updates about how Square Enix plans to support those in need in areas hit hardest, or how the sitation is improving/progressing or even if aid is needed (late in stating that, I know). To be honest, I'm glad they're pushing it back. It's better this way, and I respect that. Preaching to the converted, yes, but it's the truth.

Sincerely praying for Japan's recovery,
Kuwabaraone

PS. I also pray that those who've lost loved ones, can still find the strength to go on...for what it's worth.

We are not worried about getting back on so soon. We're more worried about you and your families being safe and sound. Remember, the first thing the game tells you is that your family and friends (real life) comes first.

That being said.. don't you belong in a museum of some sort "wilma"?

Just confirming what 99% of the players have quoted already, "Take your time" and as some have said, "This is only a game" and also "I NEEDED THIS BREAK". I'm sure others will admit, most end-game players are burnt out and me personally we re-enjoy the game when the you can re-open the serves {whenever that maybe}. My thoughts and prays go out to all the ppl in Japan and hope everything will calm down soon.

To the person who quoted that Mother Nature is a BLM {i'm sorry for the player's name}, lets hope they are not in Abyssea with the super refresh, and runs out of MP very soon.

Once again, to all SE staff, please take your time with re-opening the game, as Family/Friends do come first.

I agree at 100%. So please.. take your time.

You guys realize this is talking about the version update, not the servers themselves, right?

They don't. But if there's been any further notices hidden in this mess, could someone point them out?

wow um really? this post is so very selfish and unwarented and the poster should be ashamed to haave even mad the selfish remarks. since in fact SE will not be charging for the down time of the servers shows that they have no intention of screwing the end user over and how can you predict a disaster of the magnitude that hit japan aswell and the nuclear reactors being damaged and the nation calling for ppl to not waist energy atm which SE is currently compling with
