i assume even if the servers are shutdown, its not completely shudown, it must have somesort of low power to keep internal clock running. About the anima thing... i woulnt mind travelling to another city using anima, but running from Ul'Dah to Camp Horizon shouldnt need the use of anima, if u cant handle running 6:25sec(not using DoL skills), quit playing MMOs, i want to enjoy sights as i travel, its part of my final fantasy enjoyment(yes i know this have lots of copy/paste but if they ever diecided to fix that). I hope once Chocobo comes out, travelling using anima should be restricted to areas that are far or beyond a set distance, or make the anima regenerate slower.
