Let us speculate on when the servers will be back online

Thank you, Mikita, for clarifying. But what I'm wondering now is... if all electronics are able to use both 50hz and 60hz, then why are they having problems? Can't the server farm housing XIV servers just use 60hz? (Maybe I mixed 50hz and 60hz up)

As I stated before no it is not possible, the reasoning is that the 50hz system operates mostly on 220v it is the EU standard, the NA standard is 60hz 120v. What Japan needs to do is rework there electrical grid after the crisis is averted. The problem there like the USA is that no one wants to spend the money now until it is to late. Back in the 1970's when it was first told to the US that we needed to rework our electrical grid it would have cost somewhere around 300 million, now to do it it would probably cost in the billions. Even tho it might save Trillions people do not look at it this way.

Hi. All of Japan runs on 100V. There is no 220V here and we are slightly lower than the 120V in the US.
