Servers possibly being shut down temp.

How is anyone making personal gain off of this?

In a well-documented psychological phenomenon where people without direct impact latch onto a current trauma to obtain attention by proxy. They in essence attempt to steal attention off the suffering for themselves and assume the role of someone who is devastated and hurting to compete with available and willing attention, instead of divert attention to, the real victims.

As for me, I have already donated and don't care to see the histrionics of white knights seeking affirmations from armchairs.

How does "They should of had a plan" "Bad things happen there all the time"
turn into Illiterate, inhumanely self-centered, and just in general seeming an uneducated, inconsiderate parasite that I highly doubt can even support itself.
You don't think its ridiculous in any whey there isn't back up in place for the Biggest projected game SE ever released?

tactless posting should invole a perma ban And ffxiv isn't the only one effected. ffxi also.

I know a few japanese in ffxi. And just don't have money to play. I hope my friends are not dead.

[Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XIV FORUM Guidelines.] YOU GUYS SHOULD BE ASHAMED. THIS GOES BEYOND FORUM POSTING OR THE INTERNET. YOU GUYS ARE INFACT BEING VERY, VERY IMATURE. I HOPE YOU GET PERMA BAN'ED AND YOUR ISP DISCONNECTED. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE THIS CRUDE. PEOPLE ARE DYING, DEAD, INJURED. THEY NEED ALL THE POWER TO HELP. AND WE DON;T EVEN KNOW IF A STAFF OF SE HAS FAMILY IN THE AREAS EFFECTED.
GROW UP, IF YOU THINK MOCKING SUCH A TRAGIDY IS COOL.

+1 this is what these peeps are doing. And at the same time wishing death on me. hmm

[SIZE="7"]Okay so I must have to ask you bleeding hearts and soul-less monsters to cease and desist.[/SIZE]

The argument is that there [SIZE="6"]SHOULD[/SIZE] have been a backup server for FFXIV and FFXI. This is true. It does not matter how you look at it, but a company must have some types of safety nets they can use when their entire base of operations goes ZRK.

Don't believe me? Why, in wars, are there forts, and are not relying on the massive bases of operation? Because backups are needed.

However, what SHOULD have happened DID NOT happen, where SE has some sort of backup so the playerbase can play. That warrants a half sincere wag of my finger and a slight slap on the hand.

Because of this earthquake, they lose out on millions of dollars due to April not having the PlayOnline thing charged. Woopdeedo, they lost millions.

Now then, that's what SHOULD of happened, so we can all play unhindered, however, I fully support them closing down the servers.

If it was a choice between people playing games and the possibility of everyone dying because all the power went to hell against no games and that possibility being severely cut, the choice is obvious:

[SIZE="5"]Living is pretty much the most important thing you can do. Breathing is my favorite hobby.[/SIZE]

The bleeding hearts of this thread, yes, I feel your pain, I want as few people to die because of this catastrophe. However, wishing death on the people who disagree with you makes you completely retarded and throws your opinion out of the window. Stop being such whiny *** already.

The trolls have a point that SE should of had a backup incase of Japan sinking or something in another country where the servers are safe, and have a right to be frustrated, however: They should not be soulless *** who get a rise out of trolling the bleeding hearts who are by far the easiest *** targets of trolling since Rick Roll was first uploaded on youtube. Yes, the servers being down could have been prevented, but they weren't. Suck it up, ***.

I believe we can all agree onto this middle ground, and I even held your *** hand and made the important bits [SIZE="5"]REALLY REALLY BIG[/SIZE]. So, if you'd kindly please shut the *** up about how much of a disaster and pain in the *** this is, we can discuss the issue at hand: Servers down, discuss.

I wager it'll be down for two weeks.

Yes because the very first thing people put into a back up plan is "how can we keep an online video game running". That should never even be in the top 500 on a back-up plan.

In any case, SE has the right to do whatever they damn well please with their servers and their data, it's in the contract you agree to when you sign up to play. The fact that, in this case, they're doing it for a good reason simply means you have even less ground to stand on with your complaints. Grow up, you're not going to die just because you don't have a video game, people in Japan can (and will) die if they don't have electricity.

no matter what you say, I will not get banned for my posts but you might.
no matter what you say on this topic, you just don't win and you never will. no one is mocking the "tragidy" but you seem to think you are one of the survivors that some how got to a computer with no power and are now defending what happened to you. who knows, some people there might see this as a blessing too. but we will never know because i don't see any one from there posting here, do you?
