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

And what exactly is the reason to bandage our head before it's broken (besides trying to spread some FUD)?

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.

Oh never fear, if you build it, they will come..

[gifthorse]

guys i don't understand the hate towards the people that say they probably won't come back if the game is down too long. i think we all understand this is a horrible scenario gong on over in japan and that this shutdown is needed in this time of disaster. i also understand that alot of people are out of school on spring break and out of work so home gaming alot. this is just a fact of life that if your first choice of something to do changes and you find something else you enjoy more comes up why would you go back. i love the potential this game has in the future, but at this point is nowhere near there. if someone else plays something else during this downtime and decides to stay there does not mean they don't care about what's going on. i was just seeing there are alot of reasons to leave a game and i doubt that not caring about what is going on in japan would be the reason people left.

Don't know, don't care. I love this game and will be back the instant the servers are up

The second round of power cuts is not happening as well, right now. They may happen in the future, but so far the energy situation seems better than expected.

There has been a lot of confusion in communication from the Tokyo Electric Company (there are being a lot of complaints about that in the Tokyo area). Who knows. If they had been more clear in their communication we might still be playing right now.
Not that it isn't understandable, considering that it's difficult to be 100% prepared for a situation like this.

I will probably be back, I was just doing little things in game, waiting for changes to see if it improves the game, add content and such.

Though the game being down isn't so bad, I actually picked up a book today......then I hit my little brother with it, but the second part is a completely different issue.

To be honest I could not care less if any of the people who were on the fence about the game come back. I have a wonderful dedicated linkshell of awesome people who LOVE this game and will most certainly come back the second the servers are back up. FFXIV is an amazing game and it only keeps getting better every day. I have tried other games out there, I have even went as far as to play some of those F2P games. Let me tell ya NOT one of them compares to how amazing FFXIV is and I say this with my current / past MMO experiences.

It is certainly going to be hard finding something to do now tho I started watching "Snapped" the show about women who go crazy and kill people..... needless to say I found a link for all their episodes. The women 90% of the time kill over money.... I hardly consider that snapping but greed instead lol.
