99 Weapons Rant (yeah yeah another)

It's hard to give respect when they don't give us any. They have no regard or respect that we are human beings paying them money to play their game. How many times must we do this dance? They announce something way too time consuming because they lack man power to release quality content in quantity. We bitch. They tone stuff down. But not always...


You'd think they would learn after a dozen times or more that stuff like these trials are not acceptable. But as long as just one person wants to do them without complaint, it's all good, apparently.

I think SE is shifting it's main Mmorpg future on FFXIV not FFXI,of course there is going to come a time when FFXI is actually going to shut down because i don't believe SE would want to release and keep running two final fanasy MMORPG's for a sustance long peroid of time.

Maybe they will shift FFXI off to a F2P and keep FFXIV as the premium,P2P Final Fantasy.

SE will keep FFXI running as long as it makes them money; they're a business remember. The day SE considers shutting down XI is the day that they don't have enough subscriptions to cover the costs of server upkeep and maintenance.

When KFC started selling the ever popular extra-crispy chocobo they didn't just stop offering original recipe. As long as the revenue coming in from demand exceeds the costs to produce a product or offer a service, they will continue to offer it.

This isn't exactly true as they could figure they could put the people who are doing the upkeep on ffxi on a MORE profitable project and shut it down for that reason.

Right,they wouldn't want to risk letting there new MMORPG go down the pan for the sake of supporting both games when they can shift there full effort on to the game they think is going to have the most long term success.

But my other idea against what scribble said is that if it is the case they will let the game still run as long as it's making a profit why pour millions of $$$ into another mmorpg title when the last one is in a healthy profitable state?It's because no mmorpg hold's it's subscriber base for years on end and eventually they got to make something new to hold interest of not just old players but new-alike.
