Servers possibly being shut down temp.

[Rockne]

Updated main post. It is being shut down for a bit.

WHO KNOWS FOR HOW LOOOOOOONG?!

Anyway, good luck SE, be well.

heh is that 30 or 90 mins? Arguing with a friend over it, heh yes it's DLS, but rest of the world doesn't catch up for a few months, so would they take that into account? I remember last year games still listing PST as being a hour off.

Good call from SE to take them down for at least a week - conserving energy is the best way to go about it right now. Right now, the most important thing is to give all citizens, who lost their home due to the earthquakes and tsunami shelter and next would be to solve the many problems with the nuclear power plants.

@wolfwing

Servers will shutdown in approximately 1 1/2 hours.

The official notice says it will be down at least a week if not longer. They do have a very serious crisis in Japan between the quake, the tsunami, and possible, multiple nuclear reactor meltdowns. Many people are homeless and without food and water. It's amazing they've kept things running this long.

That sucks, I guess it's up to themselves. I wonder what they will be doing in their spare time, but more importantly, for how long are they going to be doing this? According to YouTube videos, Japan doesn't look so good...

Good luck Japan, good luck.

yeah, they are in our thoughts and such...I hope they can recover from all this soon not just SE but everyone and everything there...

[Corrderio]

Hopefully TF2 can keep me entertained for the week or so the game is down. Not really fond of being cramped in the house due to the cold.

[wolfwing]

whats the condition of the other reactor? I know the one seems to be going into meltdown and even if not, it's not going to be usable any time soon.

[Sovereign]

Well, this week is Final Exam week for me, so at least I will be able to study...

Anyways, best of luck SE, and hopefully things can return to normal soon!

I usually don't troll on posts, but anyone who disagrees with the servers -- edit*going down for a week*/edit -- is ignorant [Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XIV FORUM Guidelines.]. Here's some helpful points.

1. Natural disasters can lead to more disaster.

2. If the Nuclear power plant melts down and we have another Chernobyl, we us Americans should be concerned because our West Coast will be affected from the fallout. This could be via Air, or the more likely the radioactive isotopes that will get into the ocean and effect all of Hawaii and the shores of the west coasts' of North and South America, as well as any marine industry.

3.Japan (as I've already seen stated in previous posts) is part of the Energy Conservation Act. If they as a company do not abide by the order given to them, then they in turn would be shut down and FFXI and FFXIV would no longer exist for anyone.

4. As more tremors follow, with computers and servers running, the hard drives being jolted around at any point in time could cause any of them to give out, weather they are the game servers, login, lobby, or test servers or any server being run with the original game that is running for continual development could go down and be totally destroyed and unusable. Hence, this could prevent one game from being back up in a couple of day, to a couple of month.

So anyone else who doesn't agree with SE or can't feel any kind of sympathy for Japans current crisis, please [Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XIV FORUM Guidelines.].

That being said, I'm sorry if my language offended anyone, but sometimes the truth hurts. If I get banned from the forms or reported for what I'm saying here, so be it. I don't think anyone has the right to say that SE shutting down the servers during a time of crisis is right, and I'll take being banned out of a forum any day of my life for giving my two cents about the ugly souls who are against this kind of decision.
