unfortunately it could just be a test run. But I guess one way or another we're going to see soon.

Do remember that 3/22 starts like 20 hours in japan before it does in America. And maybe closer to 10 hours for Europe.

Considering the servers are in Japan, I'm assuming they mean by Japan Time (why are these two words so nostalgic..?) but by business hours, so probably 8/9 hours after the day starts and possibly after that...

[Winry_Rockbell]

lets just assume its coming on soon :3

[Celtodeno]

It's 9:50am in Japan, If they work a 9 to 5 (which I have no idea if they do or not) thenthey are probably all just finishing their coffee and hugs and "Hey how is your family doing?" and local tales of survival and server testing and big bathroom journey that accompanies morning coffee and...

Yeah they still have logins blocked but this is a positive sign

After not playing for a week, I'm not so interesting in logging back in. I might just take a break until more updates come out.

This status page does the same thing he is talking about. If they were on, it was brief.

I am kinda the opposite of that. Not being able to log in and play made me realize that I actually like the game more than I expected :P Been killing time with Dragon Age :P

I feel the same way, but a friend of mine who I convinced to get it was finally able to buy it right around the time servers went down, and I said I'd help him with stuff, so... social obligation.
