Servers possibly being shut down temp.

[Rannie]

Surprised the servers weren't shut down earlier... And to all the people complaining about the game being down, think what I'm gonna suffer without being able to read my mangas? D= But bad things happen, all I can do at the moment is spend my time playing Pokemon and pray that everything goes well in Japan~

you and your manga's shadow... go read the ones you have right now again... i bet they're all lonely... anyway on another note. I really sympathize with what is going on with Japan right now. I understand their need for blackouts and having to shut down their servers for what is going on.

What happened in Japan was not something that they could have warning on. (and I know all this from experience.) I live in Florida where we have "hurricane seasons" and natural disasters like there is no tomorrow. Sink holes that can destroy a house in an instant. The only difference between a Hurricane and an earthquake is that we know when and normally where one will strike (meaning the hurricane) then again those are iffy at that. And quite honestly I'm ashamed of everyone who's been saying the crap that they have been sometimes yes its best to be prepared for the worst case scenarios however how often do earthquakes happen in Japan. It's not like California's San Andreas fault like where if you sneeze the wrong way you'll cause the ground to shake (yes I'm exagerating on that by a lot) But sometimes with becoming complacent when things do not happen in a long time puts people into a lull and their expectations on things become different. Meaning they saw no need to have back up servers outside of the country. In the business sense that is money wasted especially if things do not happen as often. So seriously there is a need for business perspective in those saying "back up servers outside the country".

Again I support SE 100% and my prayers go out to all the families that are going through this in that country and I pray to my goddess that they all find comfort with one another over any of their lost loved ones as well as a speedy recovery.
