Here are a few questions I have.
Is or is not SE affected directly by rolling blackouts? By directly I mean is their power shut off by them.
Are SE servers in one place or in several places? Do they all have to be up for the game to be up? What I am getting at is if servers for interdepartment memos etc are not up can the game go up?
As a side question I am wondering how many servers SE actually has in Japan. This has to do with a bit outdated topic of moving or duplicating servers. This subject has come up on other forums than this one so I would like to know more about them. Information on the web seems to be more about company goals etc not actual physical property other than buildings.
1. yes their affected.
2. yes, the servers are in one place, no other locations hold your toon.
3. yes, the servers and internet infrastructure needs to be operational to play.
4. this site, and the FFXI, XIV, SE sites are at other locations, and not affected. Hance, we're all here.

From what i understand, each zone has a physical server or the like. you do the math.
