Servers possibly being shut down temp.

and the big easy was flooded. not to mention the BP oil spill.
Please do stop bringing up that SE only has the game servers in Japan. I think that point is moot. Just be happy we have ffxi ffxiv at all. It coulda been destroyed. And lost lives in the gaming industry. Oh and don't forget 9/11. Worst tragedy on US soil since pearl harbor.

Well we did have Hurricane Katrina a couple years back... >.>

there wasn't just katrina there was also Charlie Ivan then Andrew over a decade ago... also that hurricane that hit mexico and Texas... the list can keep going on and on most of them I've been alive for yet so many people tend to forget about. Theres also those fires they constantly get in California because of the Santa Anna winds... and for the love of the gods I hope I never live to see the day when the super volcanoe under Yellowstone national park ever erupts though there is a lot of activity going on there... the list goes on and on but the point i believe Holy was trying to make is that he hopes something like that doesn't happen on a continent wide scale because WE as in the North American Continent (including Mexico, and Canada) are not prepared for such a thing to occur.

Then again... one could think of it this way... Is truly anyone ever prepared for such a terrible thing to happen? People can complain all they want about not being able to get their way in something that is only a game and has no exact impact on a person's life, but it still just boils down to this... It's a game and at times in a person life it's necessary to put away such childish things and look at the bigger picture. People are dying and or are dead at this moment in time. It's not something that can be taken lightly or with contempt because it's a human life at stake and their value as human beings far out weighs the needs of the few. Put yourself in their place in their shoes and then you'll really know what it's like. To see how deep their fear is running, or to feel the pain they're feeling for loosing loved ones and to see their whole lively hoods as well as the lives they have built up vanish in an instant. Most of them are homeless and have no food or only have the clothing off their backs. And I would hope that the entire human race would have enough compassion to realize that. I know that a lot of times that's asking too much from human beings but aren't we the smarter ones on the evolutionary chain and have the ability to have these feelings to make us better people and more advanced?

How does "They should of had a plan" "Bad things happen there all the time"
turn into Illiterate, inhumanely self-centered, and just in general seeming an uneducated, inconsiderate parasite that I highly doubt can even support itself.
You don't think its ridiculous in any whey there isn't back up in place for the Biggest projected game SE ever released?

@ Alienbaby, having backup of the server would make no difference, they have planned nation wide blackouts in order to conserve power, 3 of there nuclear power plants could go into meltdown because of this Tsunami. watch the news instead of trolling on here pissing people off. I could not care less about a video game when the lives of over 12,000 people have already been lost, i would not want to think of what could happen if just one of those power stations goes pop.

Wow, Kilta still trying to school everyone.

P.S. Yea, they wont be in control of when the controlled blackouts take place therefore its a good idea to keep them down for the sake of data integrity and protection from power surges ect.

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.

[Holy_Dragoon]

They can and likely will, but they are doing power shutdowns across Tokyo to conserve power for hospitals. It's tough to do coding when there is no power.
