This is too funny.
It's very much a monetary decision for SE. I'm sure they have the resources to either move the servers, or if need be, power them with a backup generator(s). However, it probably is proposed to cost them more to run that way than simply shutting down for a short duration. Like it or not ffxi is still a business and if it doesn't make money it isn't good business.
