If the servers are down for a while will people come back?

Let me simplify the question if you dont understand it.
If a worst case senario happens and the servers are down for 1-2 months will people have time to try another MMo and feel invested enough in the new MMO to not care about coming back to FFXIV?

And what exactly is the reason to bandage our head before it's broken (besides trying to spread some FUD)? If there was any reason to believe that the problem would last in a scale of "months", they would have mentioned it.

As a matter of fact, the first round of planned energy outtages has been cancelled in Tokyo, since the shortages are less severe than expected.

Well you know I figured since this is a FFXIV discussion forum I could come here and ask a question about the future of FFXIV and discuss it with other fellow FFXIV players. As far as outtages being canceled, awsome!

So what about discussing what might happen to the game if Godzilla finally decides to come ashore to Tokyo?

There are realistic scenarios, and less realistic scenarios. The closure of the servers for a week or two is a concrete possibility. Months? Not likely. several months? We're skimming on science fiction and FUD.
