    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.

    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 ?
    This is probably going to get deleted, but it's the only response I have for this particular victim of May Wong Syndrome:

    GO SCREW YOURSELF!! Attitudes like that KILL people!!!

    OMG! Square Enix makes all this money $13 USD x 100's of 1,000's, means they can afford this stuff!

    This maybe true, but you do know it costs them, a fair bit to run the game right? if they have value based tax, means they be paying out a crud load of tax on this game, lol in their eyes, maybe closing the servers will get the taxman off their backs for a while, although doubtful, as their company is still valued at x amount, and will still have to pay the taxman what he wants.. regardless.

    But my point is this...
    You KNOW the situation in Japan, you KNOW the servers are based in Japan.. what you think that Sqaure should say "Sod what they say... we are keeping our servers running, because we have people paying money for this game!"

    Think like this.. would you feel happy if Sqaure-Enix turned on the servers again, Taking what little power the country has, to please you,.. if you knew there was a Hospital reliying on the same power source, trying to keep people alive?

    For once.. why not think about other people.

    One of my great frustrations (not to mention why I believe a number of players need a good whop up side the head) is that, no matter what anybody tells them, they only think about themselves.

    And THIS kind of behavior, in that they won't think of other people even if their thoughtlessness kills the other people, is why I have gotten pissed off enough to be banned from every FFXI forum save here.

    I've heard people say that it should be taken simply as a "business decision" as to when Square-Enix puts the servers back up.

    "Business decisions" like that KILL people!!

    "Business decisions" are like what get people declared "useless eaters" in this economy!!!

    So, to those who have May Wong Syndrome (NOW! NOW NOW NOW!!!), STFU and HAND!!

    PS: Oh, and if you think we're getting the game back before mid-April, you must honestly believe that the Japanese are not being openly deceived about the situation.

    Flux, why don't you grow up and get a heart. put your self in Japan's shoes and see if you can survive what they are going through. quit trolling about something that is hurting real people. in all reality your probably just a little kid hoping to get a laugh out of this, open your eyes and look to the world, people are hurt and under the threat of a nuclear meltdown that could kill a large part of Japan, and all you can do is say that SE is just trying to get a tax write off on all of this
