It always upsets me when I stop by this forum to check up on things and I see thread after thread titled, "SE RUINED MY LIFE WITH THIS UPDATE!" or "SERVERS HAVE BEEN DOWN AN HOUR, I'M GONNA DIE!" or even, "WE DEMAND A REFUND"

The fact of the matter is, Square Enix doex an excellent job of keeping the servers running. Sure, they have to bring everything down from time to time but it is either to add new content for us, or to prevent the servers from crashing. I'll say that again, in caps for effect, TO ADD NEW CONTENT FOR US, OR TO PREVENT THE SERVERS FROM CRASHING. Would you really prefer it if they never added anything? Would you be happy if one day you simply couldn't log on and there was a message on their site that says, "Sorry, our machines broke. Its going to be a few months before we get the parts to fix them."

I wish folks could remember that this is a video game. So when a world that doesn't really exist has to stop for a few hours so it can be made better, all you're being deprived of is a video game. Its not the end of the world. These few hours are not going to keep you from reaching lvl 75, or capping your smithing skill. The sun will still rise tomorrow, you are not going to die from withdrawls and FFXI will be back online in a bit.

As for the request for a refund goes, you know that isn't going to happen. Look at it this way, lets say you bought a used car. Three years later, it needs a new water pump. Its going to take two days to get the water pump and another day to install it. Now, are you going to go back to where you bought the car and demand that they give you money back because you can't drive your car for three days? If you do, do you know what they'll say? I know I'd say, "Go pound sand."

This post is going to **** alot of people off around here and frankly, I don't care a fig. Its truth.

The more vocal around here are going to argue their view whether you like it or not. All you're doing by posting this topic is giving them another excuse to start up again. Congratulations.
