    Cost is a non issue, I pay the same as a Japanese player to play the game, but I get far less play time because all scheduled maintenance favors JST.

    Furthermore, we North Americans, in fact already pay more for a lesser service, as our pings to any and all of these world servers are terrible at best.

    unprofessional. nuff said.

    What you mean apart from this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12782566

    EVERYONE is affected by it, sorry if you're to selfish to realise there are BIGGER things in this world, and you think you are the only ones affected by time differences and ping rates! Try living in the UK.

    and as for cost! urm.. didn't I hear that Square are not charging for April (for an estimated one week of down time) so you get a month free for a natural disaster, yet.. you still complain.. simple thing here.. GET A LIFE! people like you tick me off.

    LOL that I didn't know, still I am standing my ground, and using the money that Square "refund" to donate to the relief, its the least I feel I can do (not saying I wouldn't have donated anyway.. just this is a perfect reason to)

    Sony is diverse enough to shutdown operations in one part of the world and still operate.

    LOL @ SE donating... We've donated by paying SE executives the monthly fee. If they didn't donate I would be stunned. Besides, it's a tax right off. Hey does this mean I can right off my monthly fee (or a portion thereof) as tax free? Interesting...

    Maybe they could have donated 200 M ?

    are you serious? a TAX WRITE OFF?

    You do realize there is a limit to how much you can deduct on your taxes for donations....

    And I doubt your $13USD a month has much (if anything) to go to the SE execs after payroll for the crew that directly supports FFXI, the elctricity to run everything, the cost of the bandwidth to host it, varies supplies used in day to day operations, taxation, regulatory fees, legal fees, accounting costs.....and God knows what ever else there may still be in there.

    And as for the diversity of Sony... SE has operations nationwide that are still up and running, working on development, QA testing and various other duties as well. The only thing down are the divisions for FFXI and FFXIV. Likewise, Toyota shutdown just the production in Japan... the plants in Alabama are still running.

    Go screw yourself?? Attitudes like that indeed kill people. Money and greed kill too, and earthquakes, and cars, and beer.

    Can I just say, all your comments supporting our fellow human beings are really wonderful but one thing annoys me, this think of others, yes in Real Life, but in game, only a few will help others, the most, vast majority, think of themselves.

    I have put some many hours and stones into helping others get AF3+1 and +2 i bearly have anything myself. Being helpful only makes you a mug.

    I do forward to the servers being back up, I miss the game simple as. its nice we wont be charged next month too, kind gesture.
