don't get me wrong i would love to see the game back up and be playing again, but the people of japan have much more important stuff to worry about that a game at this time. i just hope for a speedy recovery for the region.

not gonna happen...
march 22nd is just the day they will reconsider about the situation
and if you watch the news, Japan still have issues with reactors -

I'm not expecting XI or XIV up until at least mid April. Until TEPCO has the current situation under control with the reactors, it's very likely the power situation will continue for a while. They sort of have their focus elsewhere. Even working as fast as they can, these sort of situations never are resolved quickly. The estimates are lowballed to reduce any anticipation or frustation, and then they keep extending them hoping that constant extensions cause few problems than a high estimation at the start.

If I'm SE, I will not launch them now. imagine when you do it, the whole country will stare at you and ask "WTF you doing?"
-
03-21-2011, 02:14 PMEolrid
It's possible, but I doubt it'll happen. I mean, it's not really even up to SE.
-
03-21-2011, 02:15 PMSparkerWhich could be a good excuse for them only restarting ffxi when they do (probably not on the 22nd). They could say they only have enough power for ffxi, while they keep getting a nice patch for ffxiv ready. Having a patch ready may help draw people who have left for other games.Quote:

03-21-2011, 02:47 PMSparkerIts not hard to imagine that jp players who lost loved ones, are homeless or without power being upset by the thought of SE burning power on a video game. The average person would not be aware nor care.Quote:

You guys need to get over it. Half of Japan is already back to work as if nothing happened. SE themselves said they were working.
Japan is not a weak country, they have a strong self obligation to get things back up how they were as fast as possible. Their work Ethic is HIGHER then anyone else world wide. And they always come back from the brink of oblivion stronger then they were before.
Stop acting like Japan is a third world country and not one of the strongest economies on the planet even with this disaster.
Yes we should be charitable and give them aid. But do not dictate how they should spend their time. -
03-21-2011, 03:07 PMSparkerProbably the half of Japan that has jobs in industries other than entertainment. SE is working when they can, but the amount of time is likely limited to when they have electricity.Quote:

Normalcy is needed now, mourning will go on for a long time to come, but in order for Japan to rebuild they need their economy as strong as possible, which means people need to work and spend.
Servers will be up as soon as they can get em up. I expect them up within the week, next week at the latest. Either way I am content playing catch up on some console games until FFXIV servers are up again. -
03-21-2011, 03:44 PMGezeruI do not see anything in this statement that says servers will be coming back up. In my opinion, SE will be giving us another update on the situation and will keep us posted more regularly on their actions concerning the servers and 14's development. However, if anything, I think they will get FF11's servers up first since they have paying subscriptions and then we might get 14 back up at a later date.Quote:
We will re-evaluate the situation on Mar. 22, 2011 (JST) and provide everyone with another update regarding this matter.
So nobody get the wrong idea and then get upset when nothing is back up on the 22nd, okay? :) -
03-21-2011, 04:09 PMMaken-Ifrit
If server keep extended suspension, I wonder how many player will come back again when they already put it down.
-
03-21-2011, 04:10 PMZenakuDoes it really matter at this point? if they leave they be back when everything get fix so at the end it really does not matter if they leave now or later.Quote:

Vesper and cair.. just grow the ef up. :)
sorry your posts are getting annoying. Currently japan atm looks like a third world country. A whole town was washed away incase you didn't see. And add the fact radioactive food was found over this week.
Just because japan isn't a third world country don't me you need to repeat the "life goes on" Many of us prob lost japanese friends and are in mourning.
I lost my friends so i'm in mourning of their passing. Sorry its too soion for the "life goes on" speaches. Wait 3 mnths. -
03-21-2011, 04:42 PMurhryu
Whether the server is going up on 22nd
Whether Japan is going to wait till 3months till mourning period is over before server goes up
Whether Japan is going their power goes up 100% before SE can get the server up
We play no part in the decision, if SE thinks they can put up the server, they must have their reasons
if not, they must have their reasons too.
We don't want negative comment here making it hard for them to put the server up as in...
"What are you thinking SE?? You putting the server up so soon?? Because I got 1001 reasons that you should not, etc"
Overall, there might be reason as some mentioned here, they wanted to get on life fast that they putting every effort
to do so, as such, don't feel offended or thinking that people don't care.
Life goes on means that they still work and look forward with hope, no doubt there will be still grief, but they wanted
to transform them into strength.
This disaster will not be forgotten, but it's not the end, that's what I truly believe. -

also currently japan doesnt look like third world country, a whole town doesnt equal to whole country, most are already on their normal daily life.. Nikkei Index was getting raped hardcore few days after tsunami but they have rebounded back, i dont think they did that by mourning. -
03-21-2011, 04:55 PMLusavari
I think the number 1 factor in this is the rolling black outs... It'd be kinda annoying for the servers to go down for 2-3 hours at a time every few hours, wouldn't it?
-
03-21-2011, 05:11 PMTessaJallohbear in mind the blackouts are only in a particular region to balance out power consumption, it just happens to also affect Tokyo. I would imagine that there is still plenty of power to be had on the western side of japan compared to the eastern side,Quote:

As people have said, most of japan is already back at work and doing the best thing they can to stimulate the rebuild of the affected areas. Living life normally, and getting commerce back into full swing. -
03-21-2011, 05:17 PMAkumuI agree with this completely. Yes what happened was a tragedy and all but they aren't just sitting around confused not knowing what to do next. Their economy has to keep moving regardless of whats thrown at them because if not they will do more damage to their country than the events themselves. I'm sure they are keeping an ear open for emergency news but besides that they would have to keep pushing forward.Quote:

1) Mourn all day/night and don't push forward.
or
2) Push forward, continue with their lives, and honor the dead by not letting what they worked for go down the drain.
Theres a reason those 50 people are trying their best knowing they can die a slow painful death. Japan is full of proud and honorable people and they refuse to mourn all day and dishonor themselves, their loved ones, and the dead by letting it all fade away. -
03-21-2011, 05:26 PMAyercThis is the main issue. Until the building S-E houses the servers in is out of the rolling blackout zone, the servers will not be coming back online. There is a risk an abrupt power loss can corrupt data on the servers. Why would S-E risk it? Sure there's backup data, but I'm not thrilled at the prospect of losing playtime due to a rollback because the rolling blackout corrupted my server. Not to mention what Lusavari pointed out about servers going offline periodically. That'd be more straining on the community than just waiting...Quote:

Hmmm, I thought the rolling blackout is scheduled by TEPCO over those region that are not affected, dividing them into groups, scheduling 3hrs per group, transferring their power source to those area that are affected (Tokyo is one of them if I remembered correctly)
Well, my understanding of Japanese website of the issues might be wrong tho.
Let's just pray Japan can get over this crisis as soon as possible. -

That's what Square should care about.Quote:

That's THE REALITY of the situation. The game doesn't matter in the big picture. -
03-21-2011, 07:33 PMBetelgeuzahYes it is, if I'm not around when they start taking subscriptions. Why would I be if it takes them too long to set things up? Sure I can understand why it might, doesn't mean I am obligated to wait. I'm not.Quote:

Well, if it affects me directly that's another issue altogether (hint: right now only this game being down affects me directly). You're really doing a poor job trying to guilt me though.Quote:

Are you really so naive that you think the government wants the people to have electricity over companies? Companies need the electricity to get the economy up and running, and that's beneficial for everyone. I'm sorry if the world doesn't revolve around your petty ideals. -

Well this is certainly going no-where. I suggest you gentlepeople agree to disagree, and come back tomorrow to find out what the decision is.
One thing is for certain though, you're both still wrong. i mean honestly, Shazam, wake up to the world. Japan as a country is in shock to be sure, but they're not down. They carry on their lives just as we would if it had happened to us, because the world is unforgiving and if you sit down too long you lose.
It's an unfortunate fact of life, SE is a company, their main forte is videogames. an MMORPG still costs them whilst it's not running, so it is indeed in their best interests to get it back on track ASAP.
On the other hand, Betel, whilst i agree with you on the cut throat reality of a business world, you're a cold son of a chocobo. |: -

If worst comes to worst and the servers aren't brought back within a month, Square Enix had better roll out a stellar update to draw people back..
