To make up for the downtime, Final Fantasy XI players will not be charged any monthly fees during the April billing cycle.

 

Did you know 11.6% of the power utilized by Square Enix’s Tokyo office is for these servers? To resume operation Square Enix turned off air conditioning and reduced lighting in their offices, which offset their total power so the servers could come back online.
