I am interested to see how SE will handle this in a prolonged situation. I assume the power outages will be going on for awhile. They destroyed some of the reactors pouring sea water into them to cool them, and I am assuming a nuclear power reactor takes sometime build, or any form of power.

I think it is completely justified to shut them down in japan peoples saftey and keeping necessities powered is much more important then a game.

Maby move the servers to either the EU or NA office temporarily if this does turn into a prolonged event.
