My heart goes out to all those living in Japan or those who have friends or family in Japan. I fully understand that this is a terrible natural disaster and one the consequences will be a loss of power.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long the power saving would be, I can't even make an estimate, I just hope it doesn't even up being anything over a month at the absolute most. Not just in the frame of FFXIV being down, but for their economy and other vital processes in their country.

Also, I'm glad to see that players are very understanding of their situation and the severity of the event that happened even if it detrimentally effects a game they play on a consistent basis. I've had friends in the States that have actually joked about about the situation in Japan, while I have a hard time understanding how someone could find it funny. Very happy to see that we as players have risen above that kind of ignorance.
