SE Doesn't Love Us Anymore

proof is in the pudding.

July Playonline updates = 15
August Playonline updates = 0
September MTD updates = 0

the end is approaching... you do know the team is currently full force working on 14 ^^

I'm sorry; they loved us in the first place?

lol, they've been working on 14 for years already, as long as people play FFXI they'll continue to support it.

Yep, I remember hearing in an interview that as long as there was enough interest with the player base for FFXI, they would keep releasing new content for the game along with new expansions. SE has more than the new FFXIV project going on anyway, they aren't going to neglect XI. I'm not worried until I hear them start shutting down servers.

Unsurprising.. After a big update, we often don't hear from them beyond the minor seasonal events.. Conveniently, there weren't any seasonal events of international importance between July and now..

lol if you look back at previous version updates (like major ones, where new content was added rather than fixing known issues) you'll notice that's the general pattern for updates.

- Major version update -
- 10 or more minor updates to fix problems they created with the major update -
- no updates whatsoever until new issues are found or the next version update is upon us -

seems to make sense to me, and it's been a relatively predictable pattern since the inception of ffxi

so you're implying that SE "loved" us to begin with?
