Temporary Suspension of the Services Due to an Earthquake

Due to the continuous earthquakes occurring in the eastern regions of Japan since Mar. 11, 2011, the power companies in Japan have encouraged everyone to cooperate by conserving as much energy as possible as it is feared there will not be enough power supply. Based on the current situation, we have decided to shut down the game servers temporarily, and therefore to suspend services of FINAL FANTASY XIV, FINAL FANTASY XI, and PlayOnline temporarily.

The services will be temporarily suspended for at least a week starting on Mar. 13, 2011 3:00 (PDT). We will provide an update regarding the reinstatement of the service as additional information becomes available. In connection with the temporary suspension of services, players will not be billed for any PlayOnline service throughout the April billing cycle. Additional information regarding this matter will also be posted as it becomes available.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and thank you for your understanding of this unusual situations.

What I did with my subscription for April was went and donated it to the Red Cross, those out there who have this extra cash now, help out those who need it! :)

Edit: I have posted this link so far in two places, legitimate websites where you can donate. Instead of using your funds on booze or smokes lets use them for a good cause!

It's not bad, just gets pretty repetetive. Didn't have much experience with the community though. Maybe it would have been more interesting if I had people to talk to lol.

Now that you've mentioned it though, maybe I'll give it another go. See if Escorts still suck lol.
