Can we have an update on the situation.

LOL even though I am hoping they will be back up on Monday I know they won't. It sucks to cause I have not been playing for months and one week after I come back the servers go down. QQ

Also, one additional thought to think on and its been noted several times. SE is located in Japan. The servers are maintained and updated by real life people. Now take into consideration this. What if these employees (i know not all of them but at least a few) had family or someone they knew that died or is missing? Put yourself in that position, would you be more worried over a video game or with grieving and/or finding your loved ones? This isn't a disaster that has effected just one person, it has effected an entire country of people. It has left half a million people homeless, 10k or more people dead, and 8k or more people missing. No one is asking you have any sympathy, just to have some kind of understanding that this is effecting more than just yourself and there are more important issues at hand than a video game. I'm sure they haven't forgotten about us, and will give us an update in due course. If they didn't plan to bring back the game, they would shut down these forums too. Just be patient and give them time.

You know that when the rolling blackouts stop SE will be having their employees back in their just to prepare for the servers to come back. They are most likely as antsy as we are.

I'm sure there are employees that are wanting to get back to a level of normalcy. But if it were me, I wouldn't give a crap about work or my customers if a single one of my family members was missing or injured.

I figure the servers will be up just about the same time as I fall back in love with WoW and my atma of the apocalypse will have to wait another few months

On a side note it really would be nice to know since the power situation doesn't look to be improving in the short term if they plan to keep the servers down for month(s) until local power is stable or if it's going to be that long if they plan to move the servers someplace else temporarily.

The OP has a point, If the DEV Team can respond to unimportant topics they could at least give us some form of update, whether it just be "The power problem in Japan is increasingly getting worse & until the situation starts to get better here we will unfortunately be keeping the servers down. We are sorry for not being able to give more information at this time but as soon as we know more we will let everyone know. Thank you for your support. SE"

Something like that would most likely keep a lot of people happy & prevent these threads having to be started everyday 4 times a day.

dang why should they do that? they told us whats going on, why should they waste time on repeating "we not know news atm, but keep on"? we know they will tell us when there are news, and they got other tings to do now. and by the way, why should they be interested in making us happy? we sitting here warm, save and comfortable, we got no reason to nag around. yes i´m bored too, and yes i´m checking many times on hope to get good news: CAUSE I WORRY ABOUT THE PEOPLE

not trying to derail, but that reference to going back to WoW prompted me to look for some of those "It is not WoW" YouTubes and stumbled on an episode of the Siblings that I just had to share. It's got some a rips on FFXII:

I get mixed reviews according to the news and the TEPCO website. Some say omg its not gonna be back for a while. The news says in about 3-4 days power should be back into a state where companies can continue to do their work. And other sources say its getting worse while others say its increasingly getting better. The back and forward things i have seen just are starting to bug me. Is it going to be good in 3-4 days, or is it just a publicity speech to calm people.

Bottom line is, by now SE has to know a pretty good estimate of whats going on, and when they can get back to work. Someone is looking over all the topics. Anyone read japanese? I bet the japanese threads are filled witht he same stuff, adn this is there country thats in shambles. Think im ignorant or crazy for being impatient, im positive the japanese are pretty pissed off who arent effected by the disaster and this game being offline.

Imagine living there and having them tell you "It'll all be fine" one minute... and "OMG NUCLEAR EXPLOSION" the next...
