I'm still wondering wtf the original purpose of the green/yellow arrow icon was for.

You used to see it a couple times back around NA launch, and then nothing up until a week ago.

I noticed they are relaunching game. I still think this game could be a bit more noob friendly if they add experience points to quest and added better gil rewards for the quest.

It apparently is the colors used to signify Japanese Learner Drivers. It's only shown for people who are on the free trial.

ugh nevermind.

This is a nice deal they have going I still need to buy one more copy for the beret.

Before the current use, the symbol was used to let normal players know that the characters in question were being played from a rental computer, such those on Internet cafes.

Which mean, their purpose was still let people "trial" the game.

The difference is that back then you would go to a Internet cafe and would take the game to play for about an hour then that would be it. Now you can download it and play from your own PC ...

Eh when I first saw topic title I read it as XIV to but yeah.. this is about XI revamping they have done lately.

[Leonlionheart]

On topic, I understand why they are limiting trial players communications... but It would be so hard to start out this game without /tell.

First thing I thought of when I saw this was, welcome back RMT tells all day long. Looks like SE finally wised up and made trail players not able to send tells.
