Server merge please, The Game is dead

I think they will wait and see what happens with FF14 first, if it flops again then they will probably push a lot of money and effort back into FF11 as their only successfull and profitable mmo. FF11 still has the potential to bring back all the older players and attract new ones, it just needs more investment and more staff again as it used to have.

If FF14 does well enough they will just let FF11 stagnate more.

That, or they will keep it how it is seeing as we are still paying for it even with the low resources they put into it.

My guess would be that if FF14 flopped again...that would be the end of the Final Fantasy mmo...if not Final Fantasy altogether. FF11 would be left the way it is...long as its still making a profit.

Nah, FFXI is still a very profitable mmo. It's lost a lot of players over the last few years due to under-investment but they could very easily attract a lot of players back and to FFXI with the proper funding and staff. They removed both because of FFXIV, if that flopped again they would fall back on the tried and tested. They might never make another FF MMO but they would surely keep pushing out FFXI expansions and keep the game running a heck of a long time.

There's no way FFXIV ARR is going to Fail! not even CLOSE! XIV just won "BEST MMO OF E3"

It just beat out:

Elder Scrolls Online
Tom Clancy's The Division
The Crew: When Burnout Meets the MMO
Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade
Destiny
ArcheAge
WildStar Online

There's already 700,000 Beta applicant's, and they haven't even promoted the BETA actively, Yoshi also said C.E. copies sold out almost instantly..

I played XI for 9 years, but I'm moving to ARR as soon as it's out, IT'S AMAZING!!!!

FFXIV's probably hooking me in as well. The primary reason though, is the latest content in XI is impossible for me to play. Nobody shouts for delve NMs, only plasm runs, and since I can't get anything unlocked I can't get any items from it. since I can't get any items from it, the only way I can possibly get in on a NM run is by going a support job that doesn't depend heavily on superpowered weapons; but as you can imagine, the competition for these party slots is fierce and i can send tells to a shout within 5 seconds and have people beat me to it.

I've had fun playing all the audolin content *when I get to play it*; the problem is I don't get to play it much. I spend most of my time idle in town hoping to find a shout or just doing random stuff to make money because there's nothing else I can to to progress and only a tiny portion of the audolin story is currently available.

Well microsoft gave the middle finger to all us hardcore gamers, so were all dusting off are ps3's and switching to ps4 , Also what square done to FF14 is simply amazing that dude that fixed it is amazing developer when seen what he did for ff11 on abyssea understands the balance from casual to elite players and keep the content relavent to everyone. Lets just hope square can keep it up.

Yeah, you gotta love it when a company tells you their new product isn't for you if you don't have a steady net connection.

[Zarchery]

How many years have people been crying "FFXI is dead/dying"?

I think for the past six years or so?

That's being charitable. I've been seeing these since at least 2005.

I will add, please do a merging of server and make JP Server and English Server with 1 server with the option of both languages. Japanese people don't like to play with NA or non japanese speakers. So why bother? English speakers always use auto translation function but japanese don't like that.

And for those that don't mind both languages in server can move to the Multilingual sever or to the japanese server. I'm very tired of "<I'm Sorry> <Japanese> Onry or "<I don't speak any English>" very tired... And please tell this to the new FFXIV directors... I want to play a game that I understand and think that the Japanese players will agree with me.
