Is the game paused, or is time still running?

Everyone who gave a common troll answer to this guy needs to go back to ffxivcore.com forums.

We don't need your BS here.

The guy was simply saying that there are more important things atm than your "game data". At least he has some sort of reverence for the situation in Japan.

On the topic of the servers. This is how it usually works: The Servers are down to conserve power. This means they are either A) Completely powered down or B) in standby/stasis mode using very little power. Either way neither option would generate enough power to calculate all the data required to keep the virtual worlds persistent.

Back-Ups are the most likely scenario. The only option is to reset counters at reboot IF Anima and GA is to be reset.

Right , couse asking questions about a game on a game forums is definitely worth such an answer.
The shame!
