@ nightdagger
Thank you for your perspective on this. Please people, this is supposed to be a civil request for information. Let's be a little more professional about this. All the OP is aiming for is a little more information from SE on just what is going on. A simple note to state your agreement/disagreement (yes/no, etc) is all that is required here.
If you want to troll or debate the issue of whether or not it is valid to request more info, or complain about the complaining, or whatever else under the sun please do it elsewhere--there are at least a dozen other threads for that already.

The questions in the OP have nothing to do with the powerplanet/power grid or anything outside SE's control.
Look at the questions lol both of them are to do with what SE are going to do with the Servers.(0)
03-20-2011 12:26 AM #33why would it cost millions, no need to move the servers, just get an alternate power source. i've seen servers and systems power requirements handled by generators. all you need is fuel. and no, those generators do not cost much.

It wouldn't cost millions but wouldn't be cheap either. Say they run on generators with cost of fuel today and they would need several generators. Because its not just FFXI servers its POL and FFXIV aswell then on top of that you have the cooling systems to keep all servers cool then all support computers. Its just not cost effective cheaper for them to just shutdown and wait it out.

03-20-2011 12:42 AM #35no, i'm talking all of that. you don't need 100 generators or anything, it takes but a few to handle all of the servers, support computers, and cooling systems. A generator creates a lot more electricity than one might think and it doesn't require that much fuel. The one's i'm used to using generate 50,000 watts. But there are one's that do produce even more than this.
and actually it would be more cost effective, because the revenue generated far, far exceeds the cost of generators.(0)Last edited by Protey; 03-20-2011 at 12:46 AM.

/signed. clearly they have to have some plan formulated if the situation is going to be reevaluated on the 22nd. I don't think it's farfetched to ask for some general idea of what's being tossed around in the office.

03-20-2011 01:51 AM #38yes it is, the customer does not need to know what office banter is being thrown around to solve an internal issue -.-
