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 what the government asked them to do so please dont sit there and complain about the it ppl just understand they are soing what was asked of them by the government which they could have denied to do and we could still be playing but since they care about their nation they chose to shut down

I'll have to disagree about the post being "very selfish and unwarranted". IMO, Mot is merely stating what should be standard practice, from a business standpoint, for a service such as this one. He is neither asking the unreasonable/for his own personal benefit nor does he not show sympathy for the situation.

We should all be supporting Japan and sending the April subscription fees that Se is not charging to Japan to help the recovery effort. I for one have the utmost respect for SE for doing the right thing as all of us should to help any way we can. So everyone be patient and do what you can to help the people of Japan who are suffering and homeless. My prayers are with Japan and Square Enix.

Not targeting this post particularly, just the conversation.

In this particular case, SE is only doing what is requested by the Japanese government to conserve power for the rest of the nation, secondary servers etc don't mean much when they only mirror and boost the original data signals. Sure, SE could have set up fully functional servers, rather than mirrors, in other countries. But something like that in most cases is a foolish waste of money, granted in this situation they could have benefited, had they chosen to even use those, but this kind of situation isn't common enough to generally bother with planning for, especially in the gaming industry. Again, they are only abiding by what the government has asked them to do.
