yay i get to finish glavs off for my dagger beofre merge woot! lol thats just the bonus to the delayed merge.

but now talking like a human take care out there the death toll and missing toll keep growing and its hard to see yes im hours away by plane but if i could fly over there and lend a hand with whatever i would. thanks for the update lil updates like this is what keeps us all happy and ready to go back for more.

these few days have been nice relaxing and crazy cause i just wanna jam lol but once the game comes back up we al can have our fun again

u guys be safe out there and try to help those in need rolling black outs cant be fun for anyone honestly but if it saves a country then its what they gotta do.

side note i must say and i mean this in the best way possible that no country would have survived a blast like that other then japan. its been said maybe 1 million times over that u guys are the best prepared for quakes but flood >< man ouch.

i hope everyone is getting better and working together to make the country strong again (donated money to help) i know it aint much but im sure even a dollar makes a diff.

i decided to recently come back to FFXI and was informed of the servers being down, the United States will be there to help, and back u guys up, be safe and take care out there, there is nothing more important then doing what is right

First to the people of Japan, my prayers are with you and I hope that your loss is minimal and wish you a quick recovery.

Second to the management of SE. You have an amazing story development staff and I love your games. Your IT sucks. Your implementation of MMO's has been spotty and I have to wonder why you don't have a Disaster Recovery Contingency plan like all well run IT shops have. There are lots of low cost options for server replication and servers on demand in cold/warm/hot site facilities. The down time and focus of your employees is very understandable and acceptable and as I said, my prayers are with them. However, if you were running your IT right we the end user would have had 48-72 hours of down time at the most.

I'm sure I'll get flamed for that second part, it's not too soon and someone had to say it.

Thank you for letting us know how it is going in reguards to upcoming updates and such. It is nice of you guys to think of us during this. I agree with the others on this thread. All though it is appreacated your concern for our happyness but it is time to worrie about yourselves. I do love playing Final Fantasy, but i am also still breathing after days without it.

im sure if it starts going that long they will set up servers posably in the U.S. and resume services

I like that was said before <Quake> and <Flood> are killer, lets never get to see <Burst>. Take care of your own house before you let your friends back in to play, We love the game... some a lil too much but as long as people need help getting there lives back in Order, take all the time you need (been without the game for 9 months once) I did just fine without it.

Thank you for the update, SE.
Please, take whatever time that is needed to get Japan back on its feet again. We understand completely.


~Thinking of Japan and the people therein every day. Be safe; Be strong. We all are with you.~

Thank you for the update~! The version update i believe is the least of anyone's concerns. You guys are extremely dedicated to even inform us of anything so soon. As much as i miss the enjoyment of the game i have followed the situation diligently and really hope things calm over by you guys. I look forward to being able to log in again soon! I know when we are able to do so things would have leveled out! My prayers are with you all!
