I'd argue you don't love it all that much as what stands today is a different game entirely, but thats purely my opinion on the matter and is neither here nor there.

The thing is, I am so tired...

Its a change in design philosophy from the more broad everquest like world mmo, to a more ffxiv like themepark attraction model. The new model focuses on always having a reason to log in daily, hence...

This is really the main problem right now, even people who want this aren't supporting us (we need the support to get an answer if the devs ever comment on these boards ... been nothing for a week)...

Except as I have explained several times in this thread, everquest. Everquest is 1. older than ffxi 2. built around the same group centric design (you need to party to level their too and similar...

I know full well what i'm asking for, I don't remember if I said it here or not but I have been to just about every other MMO on the market and none of them are what I want to be playing. Would it be...

I removed it because people were trolling it with fake celebrity names. Just going to have to hope we can get a dev response anyway.

What you clearly explained is that it takes resources, this is not in debate. What is in debate is that they cannot expand their resource pool for such a project if needed which would negate the...

No, there is no solid basis for it having an impact on the other player base. You are assuming the development resources are finite and cannot be expanded for any reason. Could it impact them? yes....

He doesn't have to prove anything Draylo says is wrong anyway, he has no info and the request isn't to him. If people want it, they should support it, if they don't then theres no reason for them to...

This, personally I liked it better that way and from my experience tossing around the idea in the last 2 days a lot of people did. At the moment the main reason we arent seeing support is people...

As stated originally, the point I would like the server locked at would be the last patch before abyssea (and/or before fields of valor/grounds of valor was repeatable back to back, I remember this...

Obviously people want it or we wouldnt HAVE private servers for them, or people like me posting here, or any of the people i've talked to that were ashamed of the changes made in abyssea. I don't...

Removed because of trolling.

And what exactly is your point? I already addressed why that is less of an issue than you made it out to be, they already have server clusters, whats to stop them from merging some of their servers...

Your advice (petition) wouldn't be a bad idea but I chose to do it here for the specific reason that this is considered the "official" place to give feedback for the game. Go ahead and look at SE's...

In my experience almost everyone I played with was a 40 hr work week, and most of them loved the game like I did and quit some time part way through abyssea. Also i've tried all this "steak" out...

If they brought a classic server then I would be playing it every day for hours and would in all likeliness play this until the servers rust. Sure I remember the negative, but overwhelmingly it was a...

I have considered the impact and I think it would be minimal if done smartly. I've already suggested the idea that, considering pops on current servers are small that they do a merge and use one of...

Any game can slip dates regardless of development resources (I mean, look at grand theft auto online, its slipped adding its heist feature for about a year now and they're the highest selling game in...

I feel pretty much the same way about it (at least up until abyssea and later adoulin, two points it wen't down for me but I will still to this day defend ffxi to the death). There's a lot of...

Ease of accomplishing it or not, its regular practice to backup your software even for mmo companies or these kinds of classic servers wouldn't exist anywhere so we cant say they don't have it unless...

There are two problems with this, the first being that FFXI is already so different from how it was that the changes would have to be drastic and go against a lot of what was added to work. Problem...

One can only hope we can get a community rep to come in and give a clear yes or no on the issue.

Nothing wrong with trying is there?

Likes are a good way to draw attention and thats...

Oh i'm sorry, are you on the dev team? You have the exact details on the resources available? You know if more can be allocated if needed? You do not know anything, if the devs don't have the...

You think everquest, and lineage and runescape did? Yup, I don't know why you find this to be such an impossible feat when its already been done with other mmos. Do we know for sure they have them?...
