edit: i lose :(
To have the servers on the AC does need to run to that room. Cold servers are happy servers. So i doubt its as extreme as they say it is in their office.
lol when i first read the translation i thought is said SE uses 11.6% of the total power supply in tokyo. I was like WTF no wonder they took the servers offline... then i read it again closer... the servers account for 11.6% of SE annual power consumption.
This is cool to hear =) but on my way to class this morning, I heard on the radio that 3 more earthquakes hit Japan today/yesterday.
Updated the thread and put the english translated version on the main post now to see how many do not read topics and post like 50x this exact same topic lol
Its on the Lodestone now under the 13th for some reason

Restoration of Game Services (Mar. 22)
As part of power conservation measures enacted following the Tohoku earthquake, our game servers were shut down on Mar. 13, 2011 3:00 (PDT) and services for FINAL FANTASY XIV, FINAL FANTASY XI, and PlayOnline (hereafter referred to as "these services") were temporarily suspended. We have determined a date for the restoration of these services, and would like to share this information with you.
Operating the servers for these services makes up 11.6% of the total power consumed by our Tokyo office (based on February 2011 records). We have shut down our air conditioning system (8.8%) and enacted other power conservation measures, such as reducing lighting in our offices, to achieve over 10% in energy usage reductions. With these energy saving measures in place, we will be able to bring our servers back online and restore service to FINAL FANTASY XIV, FINAL FANTASY XI, and PlayOnline on Mar. 25, 2011 4:00 (PDT). All other services, such as those offered on the PlayOnline website, that were temporarily suspended will also be restored at the same time. Please be aware, however, that we may once again be required to suspend services in the event that the power situation worsens.
We offer our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by the temporary suspension of these services, and thank you for your understanding. As noted in our original notice regarding the suspension of these services, customers will not be charged any monthly fees for FINAL FANTASY XI throughout the April billing cycle.
We at the Square Enix group are trying to act in a proactive manner in order to provide support towards the relief and restoration efforts in the face of this unprecedented disaster while providing reliable service to our customers, and we thank you for your understanding and support.
