JPs are thinking PS2 termination and server merging.
I approved a screenshot the other day, supposedly of a GM mentioning a server merge. How real it is or how a GM would know, I couldn't say. PS2 should've been terminated globally years ago, 360 is old, might as well terminate it too.

I doubt I'll ever play XI again, but I'd definitely like to see what they do and where they go with it if the drop PS2 support. PS2 has held XI back for years, even when PS2 was somewhat current but if memory serves, the 360 version was a PS2 -> 360 port, so it could be assumed there will be similar limitations.
POIDH.

LOL VHF... Ted Knight seemed to play an *** in every movie he was in.

What if they come out and announce Matsui's resignation due to stomach ulcers?

Eh? Ted Knight wasn't in UHF. He died three years before it released. Are you talking about Kevin McCarthy, who also always plays slick weasely business-type jerks? (Also, was in an episode of the Twilight Zone where he played the biggest pansy of an immortal ever?)

What about epic new causal content. You can now get married and have a baby !

Think of all the casual content they could add show their disdain for their player base !

A switch to F2P (mostly full-featured with cash shops for boosts/cosmetics/etc) with the paid accounts getting even bigger perks would be a shot in the arm for FFXI. Couple it with termination of PS2/360 support and I could see the old girl hang on for another decade or more. I don't see any reason to fear F2P if that's the direction SE wants to take the game to help it survive.
I have to disagree, XI will probably last another 3 years, that's being generous. Before Seekers, the content was getting stale, people were getting bored and losing interest on top of those who had left after disapproval of the Abyssea mini-expansions and never came back. When Seekers hit and the data mining started and the R/M/E issue blew up something new happened; JP started leaving in large numbers. Everything was just "ok, we'll look at what we can do" with a thumbs up and a fake smile when NA and EU were complaining and quitting over all their effort being for nothing, but when JP started unsubbing they listened. I don't think Matsui fully understood what his dropping of R/M/E would mean for the game.

Think about it; they are just weapons with unique appearances and a (usually) novelty weaponskill. But to some Relics were kind of a symbol. Back in 2005~ if you got one and someone saw you with it, everyone knew within a matter of hours, Matsui failed to realize that a relic weapon had become a symbol to many, for those who had them it was a symbol of their hard work and effort put forth and perhaps a symbol of friendship between them and those who helped them obtain it and for those who didn't have one they were goals. By the time Matsui rushed out a few examples, the damage was done.

Some went back but I know pretty much my entire LS quit as did most of the people I knew. FFXI came to be a game I played not just to make progress, I played it to be with my friends. The truth is, I wasn't far from cancelling my sub when a former LS mate contacted me on here and invited me to a LS. That LS was my final LS in FFXI, I made great friends in there, we had great laughs, that's why I played. But they are all gone now and so am I, I have no desire to go on without my buddies.

I've a feeling it's one of two things, server merge or R.I.P final fantasy. In way wont mind the latter, lol because it's the only way I can see myself stopping....

Holy *** dog balls THIS.

I wonder how many people who made relics before they made them easier still play? My Amanomurakumo was made not just by me, but by an entire linkshell that put in a lot of time. Yeah they got AF out of it, but even back then that paled in comparison to relics.

And then halfway through making or next two LS relics SE blew up the god damn Dynamis system.

There is not a moment I play samurai these days where I don't at least briefly get mad about the fact that this weapon my entire linkshell put so much time into rots in my inventory while the uber-easily-obtainable Tsuramaru is worlds better.

It's also why I made a Death Penalty instead of Koga. If I was going to put all that work into a weapon, it was going to be for more than a DPS upgrade, it was going to be about dedication to a job's theme. Which was why I made Amano in the first place, too.

Drink up me hearties, yoho~

14 Day free trial is down and at current in UK we are unable to buy Seekers of Adoulin ultimate expansion from SE website... not sure if that's related....

They took the store down for awhile. They're having issues with the new FFXIV preorders. I don't know about the trial though.

I...uh...can't.

My wife says it's because she thinks I have autism. I don't think that's entirely correct, but I do have a very hard time letting people be wrong about pop culture trivia. It's like have a smear on your glasses and trying to watch a movie through it. It just drives me insane.

If I was playing I'd rage quit throw away all my relics and curse them to the void !

No, no they wouldn't. They'd drop PS2/360 support and work on new content for lower levels as well as higher levels, and try to find a way to bring in a new playerbase from a new generation.

As old as WoW is, I'm sure it still has new subs coming in, Blizzard is doing something right.
