I do not believe this. I am sure they posted in the other forum just for the fact that there was little to no arguing, only insightful thoughts. Alot of people on here have questions & there are some people that have experience working with the said "Servers". I am sure that due to that fact the other thread has been active with little to arguing they felt that would be a good place to update everyone. Would you have prefered they placed it in the "Increase cap of abyssea"?

If SE were to say "Due to the continuous rolling blackouts that are happening in the Tokyo area we are unable to effectively run the servers. We have been talking about a possible re-location of the servers to a more secure location but at this time we are unable to confirm if this is going to be a viable solution. Thank you for your continued support and we will update you when we have a little more insight as to the actions we are going to take."
This is not hard to ask from a company that relies on their servers to make money, and we want their servers up so we can play the game we love so much. I do not see people saying "I want the date you are turning them online" just an update of their thoughts is all.
Sorry for the little rant, but some people just have a hard time reading a "whole" thread & instead pick the ones they will read.

I am sure SE is doing there best to get servers back up and running ASAP. Please remember this is first time in 9 years that servers have been down for any length of time but any info is always appreciated. I can wait as long as it takes to get things settled so that once servers back up they stay up.

@ 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)

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 02:58 AM #6You do realize that by not charging subscribers for the month of April they are losing -at least- $647,500 per 50k people still active. That's not even including mules..

03-20-2011 12:42 AM #7no, 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.
