Cross-Server Invites

The only thing it could be abused for is Tiamat anyway, there is like no other 24+ hour pops worth fighting anymore.

Then there's really 0 worry for abuse, because as it stands all you have to do is walk outside port jeuno (since you've probably got your HP there anyway) to get Sauromugue, which is in the Aragoneu region and makes you inviteable from Attowha anyway. HP in your hometown? OP to Meriphtaud instead.

Tiamat is already one of the most convenient HNMs to Nexus Cape to for this reason, and cross region invites won't really affect this.

I'm confused. Why exactly does careful attention need to be paid to "specially restricted areas" and instanced areas for this issue? Let's say I'm doing Salvage, and I invite my noob friend in Windy so we can chat while the rest of the party does Salvage. Noob friend still can't enter Salvage, get anywhere near Salvage, or get any drops from Salvage. How is it any different than going to Windy and inviting noob friend to the party before heading off to do Salvage?

As careful attention must be paid regarding specially restricted areas, and instanced areas, the development team would like to take their time to look into the possibility of forming parties no matter where you are in Vana’diel. They will be looking into this, but they will need a good deal of time.

Thanks for the update Camate, glad to see dev's see it as a good idea as well. Thank you for taking the time to respond to the thread.

I fully support server-wide invites, or as close as you can get to that.

That's what we thought MMM was. How wrong we were.

Actually, I thought Moblin Maze Mongers was going to be a full blown level-editor, not anything like WoW's dungeons.

Anyway, I support the idea of party invites from anywhere in the game. Sure, with all the various methods of teleportation we've got these days, it's not as big a deal as it used to be back in the day, but it's still an extra layer of convenience, and more convenience makes the game more enjoyable, in my opinion.
