Don't take me wrong, i don't want to sound rude because all the bad things that are happening on Japan, is just curiosity.
They can keep working on the game while servers are closed?

There trying to save power i think there building would be close and they wont be much work in SE building for a few weeks to they fix the power problem.

SE will be losing money, but they are also insured against these kinds of things. This happening is unlikely, but possible, so of course SE have failsafes in place to prevent substantial monetary losses from downtime. BUT, this would possibly NOT be one thing you can get insured against... I honestly don't know, because I am not familiar with Japanese corporate insurance policies. All I know is that when I lived in Utah (an active EQ zone), I had to have additional EQ insurance on my home.

Anyone wanna enlighten me?

This. Some of the posters in this thread are absolutely disgraceful and should be removed from posting. We are all entitled to our opinions, sure, but anybody of the opinion that this is anything but a humanitarian attempt at saving your own people is an absolute IDIOT.

This situation is absolutely horrible, anybody following it would agree whole-heartedly and I fully back SE's decision to close the servers for a while.. Shutting down as heavy-on-power a service such as FFXI+FFXIV must help a lot of people in a lot of ways, and there's nothing greater a company like Square could do at present.

Remember. We're losing game time, sure, but square are losing a LOT of money, however, the people of the world are more important than the characters of FFXIV.

Just suck it up!
