Hate to get off Topic but, State Alchemist I'm still waiting on that tally of dart frogs

On topic. I think Japan is 13.5 hours ahead of EST USA.

FFS: The country is DOWN.

Screw the games, the real world takes priority. This game could end here, and not make nearly the impact that the reactors fate will have.

The people who are back to work are going back to work because they have to in order to keep the economy, society, and essentially people alive.

Who gives a *** about a MMO when Japan itself is in crisis? Who gives a *** about video games?

Stupid, selfish, worthless bastards... that's who. ( No offense to people who were born out of wedlock, for you are, indeed, far superior to the 'bastards' I reference)

If you take offense to this, die. The rest of the world needs the resources you are leeching.

wow... just.... wow... how deluded can you be?

I couldn't keep reading. I don't know how old you are or if you understand how business works, but video games are an industry. Meaning they generate jobs and income. It's great that SE decides to adhere by the power failures Japan is having at the moment, but it's a business. Yes a nuclear blowout would be horrible, not because of the video games or anime or whatever you like about Japan so much but because it would cost a lot of lives and land...but what is SE going to do about it other than this? It's a business and a business can't just sit on its hands and survive.

Also, the country is not down lol. Was America down after Katrina? Oil spill? 9/11? The stock market closed for one day but opened the doors the next because it's a business. Restaurants in New Orleans opened as soon as they could move the debris and get the people coming back. Saying the country is down is just degrading to them. Sure I'll give them my prayers and a little money...hell if I had the time I would travel there and help out with some homeless stuff (I'm a chef ) but the world doesn't stop.

They know this and the Japanese are one of the hardest working people out there. I didn't take offense to what you said by the way....I just thought you were an ignorant retard. And yes I do hope the servers come back up as soon as possible and I will be pissed if they are down for another month. Why? Because one coast line isn't the whole country. IF a nuclear disaster were to happen, as unfortunate as that would be to the country and people...I bite my tongue.

Until then, keep on truckin'

Well said.

Hmmm, I thought the rolling blackout is scheduled by TEPCO over those region that are not affected, dividing them into groups, scheduling 3hrs per group, transferring their power source to those area that are affected (Tokyo is one of them if I remembered correctly)
Well, my understanding of Japanese website of the issues might be wrong tho.
Let's just pray Japan can get over this crisis as soon as possible.

Something interesting I found out today, there are two power grids in Japan, one for the east/north (including Tokyo) running at 50Hz and one for the rest running at 60hz.

With only a limited number of frequency conversion stations to swap power between the two grids, the unaffected regions can only be of limited help with power generation for the East, so the blackouts need to be implemented.

The rolling blackouts are there to prevent the whole grid going down, so I don't see that situation changing in the next week or so. I'm actually wondering if we'll see a timed startup (e.g. 8/12/16 hours a day) prior to full service resuming.

Actually, while the problems at the reactor aren't solved yet, the energy situation has been defined as improving lately by the news, mostly because they managed to put some thermoelectric plants back online earlier than expected. The shibuya area (where the SE server farm is) is exempt from rolling blackout as well, while businesses are still voluntarily saving energy.

So I wouldn't necessarily exclude a reopening of the servers sometimes soon.

What's for sure, is that you guys insulting each other over who is more compassionate about the current situation in Japan isn't helping anyone. But I'm sure you aready knew that, right?

[Elkwood]

hehe man i cant help but laugh at the current situation of this thread, the left hand calling the right hand emotionally unstable for asking about the situation of the servers, and the right hand screaming at the left hand cause the servers are not up. Man this is some awesome comic relief while I am at work thank you for providing me some more entertainment.

[Green]

Have the feeling they will put the servers up again, but I wouldn't mind if they did not. It's not that I don't want to play, but I just hope they provide help where they can to improve Japan's current situation.

Let's cross our fingers and hope that anima is reset when we log in
