So, will this affect patch?
7.1 on Richter scale, but apparently damage isn't all that bad.

They already said if there was going to be a tsunami it would have already formed and been noticeable. So pretty sure they're safe unless this earthquake messed up their already busted nuclear reactors.

I don't think it will affect. I certainly hope not.

7.0 is only 2 away from 9.0 guyz.
Run to the hills! -

Happen a little while ago, nothing new reported on the news networks. I doubt the damage is that large or anything major happened.
Earthquakes are not uncommon in Japan, although i am starting to feel bad for them... been 1 bad year it seems. -

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.

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.

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

quakes are very common in japan there buildings made knowing this, form what i read the tsunami it made, did fare more damage then earthquake itself ever did when 9.0 happened

07-10-2011, 11:35 PMSuzakuCMX
My state has been having a bunch of forest fires for about a month (I think we're at 5 now?). One of them was even started by an attention whoring 14 year old.
YEAR OF DISASTERS. -

The quake was in northern japan. It will not effect SE. The major one months ago wouldn't have effect SE either if it wasn't for the tsunami and the power plant failure. The sad thing is that the north is the farm land and country people. They have seen happier days ....

07-11-2011, 01:10 AMSeifomg I totally just sprayed my keyboard with coffee after reading that one. Doesn't really compare to the quake now does it. =DQuote:

Are we talking about the one which the epicentre was in Hull?~
It was around 1am, and I was woke by the glasses on my desk clinking together.
I just had a nightmare about Nukes. Scariest. Moment. Ever.
Either way, that was on the other side of the country in Gloucester.
That being said; it felt and sounded awesome. -

Seriously, if I lived in Japan, I would pick up and leave. It's like living in California, you're just asking for trouble. I'd be like, "Eff this, I'm out."
I grew up in Detroit, where the only natural disasters you worried about were ice storms and obscene amounts of snow. Since moving to Missouri, I'm now surrounded by tornadoes. That's bad enough. >.< -
07-11-2011, 02:16 PMCatapult
Ah, but where you don't have to worry about Earthquakes beyond magnitudes of 4 (we had a "big" one just last week) there are typically other natural disasters you have to contend with instead. Where I live in south-eastern Australia, that means bushfires.
Swapping one natural disaster for the other...
