I can't believe the complaining already.....Do any of you even understand the magnitude of what has happened in Japan? Or even care? And this on the heals of the devastating quake in Christchurch, New Zealand.
I would hazard that SE had no choice but to shut down the servers, and don't any of you be surprised if it takes longer than a week to get them back up and running. The priorities have to be the population, food, water, power, hospitals, rescue/recovery efforts, rebuilding etc. Gaming is low man on the totem pole at this point.
Enjoy a forced vacation from your daily fix, go to school, get a job, clean the house, fix up your yard, enjoy your family, your kids and friends, lose weight, stop smoking and drinking and stop worrying about your AF3. This is naught but a game, counts for nothing on your real life resume. Get out and have fun! Support your local economy and if you can, send a small amount to the relief fund of your choice to help those in need.
Haiti still needs to be rebuilt, despite all the aid that poured in. Haiti's Government is so corrupt it lines its own pockets with aid earmarked for the general population. So do parts of New Orleans, like Plaquemines parish, the 9th Ward etc. Let the people who originally lived there come back to affordable, decent homes and kick the greedy *** developers out.
We could make a difference if we all pooled our resources and concentrated on the important things like changing the way Government works for the good of all.
Japan will recover, but it will take decades. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers and hope that CA or anywhere else on the West Coast doesn't get hit like they were. Complacency and apathy are the enemies.

Everyone understands where your coming from but What can we do other then Prayers? I know it's bad matter fact worst I went to the same problem last Year for Haiti, I know how it felt Trust me but Did i kill myself no I just kept my Family and my people in prayer and send money that's all i could have done. The best thing to do right now is to remain calm and Keep it positive.

Then instead of berating the people posting here, get off your fat *** and go do something about it. Volunteer to join groups going there for aid, donate money, raise awareness of various donation foundations in your neighborhood. Anything except sitting on a forum trying to make people care or feel upset because they are alive and going through their days normally and posting on a forum or playing games.

Japan doesn't need anyones help, idk why there are so many *** relief funds for them, they're one of the wealthiest countries in the world, and their cities are BUILT for this ***. I have nothing against helping them, or hoping the best for them, but they really don't need the money.
Haiti is still in deep ***from what happened to them, send the money that way instead.

I don't know where your from but Prayer does help. If it wasn't for Prayer Japan and Haiti could have been History. Look @ the map both in the middle of the water so ya... Prayer does Help... And unless you see a Honest bone in people body they going to just make more money over disasters like this.

Go donate. Prayers don't do ***. since we're talking so candidly and disregarding other's beliefs. You're an ignorant pompous moron who believes anything you believe is fact.
I don't personally believe in prayers or religion but are you truly incapable of understanding why people do? Or just incapable of respecting other's beliefs?
And yet you'd desire us to respect yours?
Sorry to go so off topic though, tell me I'm mad dray and shrug this off as such It has nothing to do with respecting people's beliefs. The cold hard fact of the matter is donating money is actually helping people in need versus praying which does not help whatsoever.

Why are you telling me your opinion is fact Chaos? Show me proof that a prayer does nothing. Just because you and I believe something does not mean it's fact
Does anyone else think this behavior is disgusting? If your home just got destroyed and you had no clean water and food, would you rather someone donate money that would buy you clean water and food, or just have someone pray for you?
Seriously you honestly think praying is going to feed people and cloth people, and bring them clean water? That's a cold hard fact right there.
EDIT: It's not an opinion, money buys thing people need. Prayers don't. Show me how praying buys you food and clean water and then you would have a leg to stand on.

thank you Josia~~~~~ your one of the lucky ones Sorry to tell you but the people affected by any natural disaster need food, water, cloths, and shelter. Money buys those things for them. If you can't accept something as simple as that, I don't know what to tell you.
