I said in another thread that allowing us to chose to donate our April fees to the relief efforts was not viable, unless they turned on the POL servers. If you want to donate now, chose a reputable organization and donate.

I did, however, suggest that SE do something to allow us players to donate in game or through the game systems. A button on the title screen on POL would satisfy this. I also suggested that SE create a small in game item that players could "purchase", and the money going to the relief efforts. However it happens, I believe that the FFXI player base would be very receptive to donating.
