Earthquake Takes FINAL FANTASY MMOGs Offline

SQUARE ENIX announces that MMORPGs FINAL FANTASY XI and FINAL FANTASY XIV are both temporarily offline due to the eathquakes in Japan, apologetically saying: "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." This is noted on Massively, where they also note that Sony Online Entertainment has temporarily suspended billing in Japan, but the link they provide explaining this is down at the moment. Thanks Big Download.

I'd be surprised if anyone noticed at all

FFXI, possibly.

FFXIV, doubt it. I think the term "coup de grace" best applies to a server outage for it.

Square, I got an idea for you... just leave FFXIV down for a bit, get another team in to work on some stuff, and re-launch it as FFXIV-2 in a few months to a year
