Service restart
First, we would like to send out warmest regards to those that were involved in the disasters occurring in the North Eastern part of Japan.

Due to the Earthquakes, many energy plants have been damaged, leading to a chance of an energy deficit.
MGO Online service acted on an Emergency Shutdown on March 12, at 10:00(UTC) to save energy. MGO Online will be back online after our scheduled maintenance on March 15.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for your support.

servers are online but catastrophe is still ongoing

A Message from Hideo Kojima: Together Japan

I would like to offer my deepest thoughts and my sincerest condolences for the many victims and many who lost their lives in the March 11, 2011 earthquake that struck the Tohoku region near the Pacific coast of Japan.

Our job is providing everyone with cheer and bringing encouragement to people around the world through the medium of entertainment and that is exactly the type of support that we can provide.

We are indeed facing an unprecedented situation that we have not experienced before. However, we should not abandon hope but look forward to the future and unite to restore Japan for the sake of the next generation.

May smiles return once again to the region struck by the disaster, to Japan, to our future, and to ourselves as well.

Lastly, I would like to share a line from Snake from MGS1.

Snake: "Spring brings new life to everything. It's a time for hope."
