Aby npc in Heavens tower?

It's okay, Camate. Deep down we all know Shantotto is hogging the server resources for the other zones as part of her scheme for world domination.

We do not speak of Shantotto's plans!! The Mistress may be watching..... >.>;

"... there were memory issues in Windurst Woods..."

Lemme guess. It's a PS2 issue.

Ps2 Limitations.

I didn't want to say it.... I didn't want to say it.... >.<

Server side scrip file limitations.

Fixed. Likely got to long; lot of event data handled there in munchkin land.

Not much goes on in windy walls event-wise. At least in comparison to the other nation zones that have the npcs there.

Yup, rest of windy is loaded though. Like Camate just explained they tried everywhere else 1st.

ya I read what she said :P

point still stands a lot of what they can't do is because they either a. can't because of the ps2, b. don't want to be bothered fixing it so blame it on the ps2.


just another reason to get rid of it imo.

In regards to comments about the placement of the Abyssea NPCs in Heaven’s Tower, Windurst, the development team is aware of what you are all pointing out. The development team tried placing them in each area of Windurst, however, there were memory issues in Windurst Woods, Windurst Waters, and Port Windurst which would not allow the ability to confirm Bastion conditions. Due to this, they placed the NPCs in Heaven’s Tower.

As pointed out, there is a difference in convenience when compared to San d’Oria and Bastok, and though it might take some time, we will be looking for other methods to solve this issue.

Memory issues, eh? Wouldn't have guessed that, but it makes sense. Surely there must be some way around this though.. It's really not even just a matter of the location being as inconvenient as it is, the NPC's are in the Port of every other city.. For the simple sake of consistency, they should be in Windy Port too. (Either that, or move the others to the Metalworks, Chateau, and Ru'lude Gardens.)

Thanks though for the explanation, really do appreciate it.

Lol, actually..memory limits exist in offline and online games, no matter the platform.

Although it's kinda crappy...if this is the real reason and it woudl be so difficult to put it anywhere else..then just add a quest to allow us to zone out of the mog house right into heavens tower. When you zone into heavens tower you get warped in anyway so it's not that far fetched.
