So, will this affect patch?

7.1 on Richter scale, but apparently damage isn't all that bad.

man russia or china needs to lease some land to japan these poor people have no luck at all. or maybe the usa can give them north/south dakota and montana we dont need them anyways.

10^9/10^7=10^(9-7)=10^2=cheeseburger

On March, The quake itself and the tsunami didn't dealt much damage to Japan. It's mako reactors issues that forced SE and other companies to shutdown their unnecessary electronic usage.

I seem to have read/saw differently.

Depends. Are we talking about wave amplitudes, or actual energy released?

From Wiki:

Quote:

---

Because of the logarithmic basis of the scale, each whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in measured amplitude; in terms of energy, each whole number increase corresponds to an increase of about 31.6 times the amount of energy released, and each increase of 0.2 corresponds to a doubling of the energy released.

---

Also depends on what scale you're using. Richter =/= magnitude. Why? It's complicated and political. I'm not going there.

Generally speaking, the scale is not linear and an increase of magnitude or richter should be considered as a multiplier, not a sum.

Hope Japan is safe, nature needs a serious ass kicking.

Only a very minor tsunami was reported in northern Japan.

Tokyo had a little bit of gentle shaking, but nothing out of the ordinary.

So don't worry. I'm sure the quake has not affected the schedule for patch 1.18.

Thank heavens, the golden patch remains unscathed

We need this shit to happen in the UK, its boring when nothing happens.
