Servers possibly being shut down temp.

[Reika]

I usually don't troll on posts, but anyone who disagrees with the servers 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.

+1 To this man!

[JasonMarkle]

Oh well, at least we both agree with SE's decision.

[Vackashken]

I honestly hope the best for their people.

[Peregrine]

I know we complain a lot that ancient magics are lackluster, but this time the SE interns go too far! Too far!

Alright, this earthquake was bad. Japan suffered, they re low on energy sources and so on, I didnt read all. They have to do these measures. And I am disgusted by these people bitching that servers are at wrong country, they can not play, if server are down they will find different game. My advice is for these people :

Really go and find another game.

If you cant take facts into your mind that a country disaster did the damage. Seriously you think primarily of game running and nothing else matter. Then I am ashamed you are part of this community :P Really, why do you whine that servers are down because of natural disaster ?! (Huh?!) We could expect this after the situation that occured in Japan. And to be honest, I dont mind that servers are at Japan. I am glad with that because they are right next to devs. source.

Sooner or later FFXIV, FFXI will be avaible again.

Now I just wish J. to overcome this fast and no more victims.

Firstly, I wish the best to all those in Japan, and those like myself who have friends / relatives they are unable to contact in the affected areas.

And secondly, some of the comments are astounding. Those of you more worried about your video games, thinking they take precedence over the fact thousands are injured, missing, and dead because of this tragedy... Do yourself a favor, remove any game consoles, and computers from your convenient access until you get a grip on reality. Getting electricity back to the hospitals, shelters, residences of Japan is just a TINY BIT more important than keeping some game servers running.


@ the above, no the people complaining really shouldn't go play another game. They should take this chance to realize how self-centered they are.

It be nice, but I've long given up hoping about anything like that, just watching stuff going on in US this year has me depressed too much to hope for anything like that.

Sorry can a mod ban all of the tactless ppl in this thread. Time and place for being a comic. But laughing about a possible earthquake that hit san fran back in the 1900's mix with a tsunami seen in the big easy plus a second Chrynoble(sp). Guys that town is still radioactive. And is literally a ghost town. Stuff is still there like shoes on the ground.
japan had all this happen in 1-3 days.
Sorry but you guys should just get banned. From ffxiv which is a possiblity. Anything you do on forums effects your gamje account.

My heart goes out in japan. And happy they are doing what they can do help their country

[Rizon]

First of all I would like to say that my prayers and best wishes go out to the people of Japan

Given the gravity of the situation there I fully support SE's decision to temporarily suspend all service except for the websites. That decision was a no brainer. concidering the reported damage to the enegy grid in Japan I will be suprised if the servers are back up before the end of the month. That would be totally understandable. for FFXI players SE tweeted that April will be free.

Lastly I would like to commend the majority of posters of this thread for their compassion and understanding during this trying time

[TonyMontana]

Dont forget to shed some tears for the people dying in other parts of the world like Libya since you guys are such bleeding hearts for people you dont know....or is it only for JP people you dont know?
