Temporary Suspension of the Services Due to an Earthquake

I expected this to happen. Your country, family, and well being should come first. Thank you for taking the time to keep us informed. I will keep all of you in my prayers.

Take all the time necessary, family and friends are more important. Thank you for the update. Best wishes with the rebuilding.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all those in Japan including my family and friends currently out there. Take all the time needed.

to my friends in Japan, my best friend and roommate is in the Navy and is being deployed to you to help you in any which way possible. I have already started to gather things for children, like small toys and games, that my roommate can take with her to give to the children who have lost everything.

With the three nuclear power reactors malfunctioning, this game is Japan's least of their problems. If one of these reactors melt down there will be a release of radiation, much like the worst nuclear problem in history, Chernobyl, times THREE. I can't cant express my fear for the people of Japan and the fear of the east coasts of Asia and the west coats of Canada and the Untied States that will be effected by radiation poisoning.... This hole situation has me very scared. But on the positive side, the people of Japan are MUCH smarter than the people of Russia when Chernobyl melted down.

There are some amazing videos out there that people have caught first hand with cellphones and video cameras.

Note of warning: YouTube videos are always filled with comments from inbred closeminded idiots.

I can imagine that the servers will be down for a long time after something like this. I've been watching the news lately and it is shocking just how much was destroyed. I'm glad to see they are handling it well, I've seen seen and read about other countries handling earthquakes and tsunamis absolutely terribly compared to what is currently being done.

Add on the nuclear reactors though... This is a new situation. Dangerous and treacherous, it isn't going to be easy.

Japan, you can do it! *Motivation* Good luck! ^_^

As an American player I have no problem with this. Japan needs to conserve its energy right now; the safety and wellbeing of the people there are much more important than playing a game.

So, from America, take care of yourselves and worry about the important things first. We can wait.

I have a strong sense of empathy for the people of Japan in this crisis, and hope that this disaster gives pause to the creators of SE, perhaps having all of your eggs in one basket in Japan is not a good idea and a Server back up could be established in NA, or EU so as to serve as a back up for Final Fantasy gaming. Just a thought.....

Good luck and blessings to everyone over in Japan from America!!!

Best wishes from Spain. We do love Japanese people and our government is trying to aid as much as possible, same as other countries. You're not alone. Please, stay safe and don't lose hope. <3

I just want to echo everyone here - no need to be sorry and take as much time as you need. We'll all be here for you and when the servers come back online, we'll take it as a good sign that recovery has begun.

For now, stay safe and be strong!
