Temporary Suspension of the Services Due to an Earthquake

[Lebannen]

I would like to give thanks to the guys over at square enix in Japan. thank you for making this sacrifice in order to bring the servers back online. Looking forward to gaming.

[Vicious]

Even in the face of disaster they are willing to sacrifice so we can play, damn I'm impressed!

I just feel bad that they have to do all this and deal with out sh**

I live in America.
I'm shallow.

Yup, Delite. You re no kind of people I want to play with. Go for Star wars and good bye.

orry for the delay in bringing you this, but we have just announced that normal service will resume from 11am (GMT) / 4pm (PST) on the 25th of March. Please refer to the news post for further details.

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but wouldn't that be 4am PST?

No, im not joking.
I love FF but, they're running the game like a bunch of circus clowns.
If SE doesn't get their shit together by the time SWTOR launches, I'm out.

Err tsunami earthquake NO POWER! You obviously don't have any clue of what's going out in the real world and only care about yo lil self heh lad?
Also if Y-P had the top chair from the beginning the game would had probably be 100 times better but instead the 1st thing he had to do was fixing the complete mess the other director left behind him before he can really put HIS touch to the game.

First off thank you SE, no one expected this and I think we're all happy with the effort made where we expected none (hey we understand.)

2nd eff that Delita guy, people who don't stay updated with current situations are ignorant. I'm not just biased as a political science major lol. and SWTOR looks awesome, so I can't at least hate on that game.

My thoughts are with you

[Jibe]

They did not necessarily shut off their lighting, they more than likely just reduced the brightness of it using dimmer or by turning off every other bank of lights. You might actually be surprised by the level of power savings you can achieve just by dimming your lights by %20.

So don't worry guys, they are not working in total darkness over there to bring the servers back online. There are alot of ways to save power that will have minimal impact on you, especially in a large corporation like that. Think of how much better off the world energy situation would be of all of us reduced our power usage by %11 all the time.

I was quite surprised to find that their servers only account for %11 of their overall power consumption though.

Wishing everyone in Japan a speedy recovery!!! Playing other games during this time will make us all realize how AWESOME!!!
FF14 really is. Take the time that you need we will be waiting!!!!!

Just because MOST people would like the servers turned back on asap (and i am very happy they will be back on fri.) doesnt mean that they or we as i am one of them, are not sympathetic to what is going on over there.

What is really making me sick to my stomach is the amount of a** kissing posts I am reading. I wish ya'll would stop already before I puke!
