Version Update Delay

[DamonWolfe]

My family, and all my friends who play wish the best to Japan in these trying times. Though I love this game and wish for a speedy return, I understand he measures being taken better than most. Serving in the military and being a specialist of Search and Rescue I know the desprate measure which is your current hour.

To all those punks who post there selfish "They should have a Contingency plan" BS, do yourselves a favor... and just quit playing this game. We don't need OR want you. With all offense intended, you are worthless people thinking only of yourselves. Your lives have no true meaning and therefore have no merit for your existence. Again do yourselves a favor, quit playing this game so we don't have to deal with your worthlessness.

I'm an American the world both hates and loves us(and you all know it's true). But above that I am Human. This rock we call Earth is our home and I would happily die for someone else to protect humanity. If I had the resources I would be in Japan right now helping them get on their feet once again.

My friends of Japan know my thoughts are with you and that I stand beside you in your darkest hour.

I see this everywhere I say the same thing, What happened in Japan is terrible and the lose of life is terrible and Hope for things to recover as quickly as possible for the country to not fall a part.


But please do not go and act like people who have more selfish reasons or complaints like they aren't human, cause I know you or most others on here making these claims aren't exactly praise worthy in your care, sure maybe with this current event, that happened in a much more popular area of the world you care, or you had family/friends here, you care, thats understandable, did you care this much when Haiti got hit with a earthquake with over 200,000 deaths? did you get like this when Hurricane Katrina hit ?

How about smaller disasters in lesser known countries? unless you cared about every single bad natural disaster that as plagued this planet you have no right to say that to anyone, everyone has different point of views, but they aren't saying anything like "Im glad people died" or such non-sense, they just want a piece of the culture they loved back. Yes it is selfish to think of material things over people, I am not saying they are role models or anything.

Not everyone was effected like those who lost family/friends, maybe their care is on the culture or material things. no real worthwhile attachment that those gravely hit by this have. but that doesnt give you any right to treat them as if they are some sub-human being. I am sure if someone who doesnt show they care now, down the line something will happen to someone they care about and you who it has no effect on, probably wont even bat an eye.

ill agree with that, we are human and we all have varying opinions regarding the matter, to say that because some people think they should have had some back up plan is selfish i disagree, theres always a back up plan with everything that happens unfortunately we dont always get it right and it doesnt always go according to plan, japan has built itself to withstand earthquakes, the fact they werent prepared for a tsunami kinda states how rare it is that japan gets them, i have a friend who has got family out there and my thoughts are with them, knowing whats happened i can say i wish there was more i could do, but im not specialised in S&R therefore it would mean little to be out there as i wouldnt even know where to start, people need to stop bitching about the servers being down and be patient, i know its not a virtue most people have but in this give the guys a break, they're doing the best they can with what they have for which you cannot ask anymore from them

[PerrinAybara]

I deeply feel for the tragedy that occurred in Japan and I'm not upset in anyway that the game will be unavailable for an undetermined period of time. My full support to them and the fact that they shut down their servers to conserve energy. This was a charitable act on SE's behalf.

However, they should have multiple data servers throughout the world, not in one location... This is a single point of failure problem many businesses should recognize. Especially with an international customer base. I realize this is an old game and that they probably haven't taken advantage of cloud technology & virtualization... oh well!

See you guys in game soon.

Cheers,
Perrin

Get well soon Japan.

I really hope character creation opens up before the update though, as a few of my friends are wanting to join us the game D:

Hurry up with the servers already. You run a business & should act accordingly. regardless of the current situation a business still has to move forward.

Guys, they said it would happen or we would be updated on the situation today.. We were updated on this, and as customers we may whinge all we like but it isn't going to make things happen faster. The poor guys just walked into the office (being 8:30am over there).. Give them a minute to brew a coffee >_>
