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.

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.

An excerpt from the Caution posted on
TOKYO ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY (TEPCO)’s home page:

A big earthquake occurred in the northern part of Japan at 2:46PM of March 11th 2011. Because TEPCO's facilities have been seriously damaged, power shortage may occur.
TEPCO appreciates customers' cooperation in reducing electricity usage by avoiding using unnecessary lighting and electrical equipment.

I hope things get better over in Japan. It is a true tradgedy that reminds us that we are at the whim of Mother Nature. I donated to the Red Cross and would urge any than can to do so.

I donated as well. It is so scary to imagine what people must be going through. And I've been trying to stay on top of news articles, and it is awful to see that things are just getting worse. I can't believe that the Japanese Prime Minister had issued a statement that all the nuclear plants had been safely shut down, and yet afterwards there was an explosion. Hopefully they'll be able to take care of the rest of the facilities so there won't be any serious levels of radiation in the air :(

I can believe it. It's how governments tend to operate in sad attempts to keep people calm or keep their image up. Especially in Asian countries.

On a side note, TEPCo(Tokyo Electric Power Company) has a history of lying about what's going on with them.

We will re-evaluate the situation on Mar. 22, 2011 (JST) and provide everyone with another update regarding this matter.
