I'm only calmly responding to your posts, Reika. No need to be offended.

It doesn't have to physcially change in the data for it to be changed by the story. Just paint a mental image of the change, like reading a book.

And, they are keeping the servers up after the 11th because over 30% of the voting playerbase voted to keep them up. They also reminded us that anything after the 11th if you chose to log back in would be a contridiction to the story (Dalamud hitting, us being wisked into the future or whatnot).

only 83 people were online on Excalibur... about 20 were in mhordona and the rest were either in uldah or outside of it x_x everythings dead o.o

That's how it will be now :3 Mostly only JP's wanted the servers open past 11/11 so i doubt EU/NA will play the current version much more tbh :/
Trying to shout for Garuda funs in my server and none wants in lol :\ all doing the outside uldah event which already got boring to me :3
There's over 200ppl on tho.

Well like I said earlier, I assume that the changes they're referring to is Dalamud's descent and the Garlean airships and the mob behavior and such, rather than to Eorzea's surface itself. A bit misleading, but I can still see them as radical changes.

You left your 3rd party mod on :-/

Durandal follows.

EDIT: A morbol found that has a 1 second recast timer on Benediction, it seems. It never dies.

Woo! I see me! Top left cornerish, starting the back line. With my little Tricorne, Vintage Hauby, and Garuda's beak :D

Sargatanas has seen 0 waves of bosses.

I'd love SE forever just for the amount of butthurt generated.

The 2.0 roadmap just says "Radical changes to in-game world." I would say Dalamud falling out of the sky and Atomos spawning at the aether camps are pretty "radical changes" to the in-game world. Doesn't have to mean that the planet is going to be turned inside out.

I'm suddenly very excited about this game.

it's going to get old real quick.

Well it's not like there's anything substantial you can do at this point. Progress isn't being saved.

Here is a Video I made of the crazy weather and haunting music playing throughout the world hope you guys enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRiQv...ature=youtu.be

Say, is the lightning crazy huge in the regions other than Coerthas? Because Ishgard looks incredible.
Full on romantic Transylvania nonsense.

Alternate pic of the 11 Chimeras, and it just keeps getting worse..

Imperials are permanently at the following camps:

Dragonhead
Crooked Fork (near the Mark of the Lover)
Drybone (near the Mark of the Warden)
Broken Water
Iron Lake
Crimson Bark

If I missed any, please feel free to mention other places. I'm not sure if it has to do with the Twelve stones, but my first intuition was that they're trying to sabotage our only hope. It could be the natural spread of Imperial territory, but why would they bother occupying so remote a location as Gwyr-Aen, let alone Crooked Fork? The Mark of the Warden is in Sandgate, too, which is rather remote. I haven't checked Lynxpelt, but all of the other Twelve Stones (save for those of the Wanderer and Builder, which were already guarded) have no Imperial presence.

They are at Camp Skull Valley and Cedarwood too.

Mobs at the gate stopped spawning on Ragnarok. We've been waiting a good 40 mins now. Did this happen on other servers?

Honestly, I think a GM was having fun with this, spawning mobs for us. We had a fun situation earlier:

After the horde of goblins, it got quiet, and a fire elemental appeared, it was only level 50+. WE killed it, and few seconds later, another one appeared only farther off, we went after and killed it, and this kept repeating, drawing us farther and farther away from the city gates. Finally when far enough, the last elemental spawned, and this time, it was level 75. While people were fighting that, several Bixies spawned at the gates along with couple by us, it was such a funny trap.

Still haven't seen anything outside Uldah on Excalibur yet, and I've been out here for over an hour now... :(

Perhaps there's something that has to be done to trigger it? You would think it would have started at the same time on each server otherwise..

I approached the Mark of the Scholar in Mor Dhona. When I got really close, the music changed. Those stones are radiating mighty strong.


Also, Great Buffalos are dropping dated stuff to people on Aegis. I got a bloody bardiche head, not that it'll do me much good now.

The Divine symbols are oozing energy now.

Also, just because, here's my favourite Dalamud picture I took today.

Yes I know, full AF ftw.

It's nearly the end of the world~

What a beautiful picture of Charlie Xenn

Imperials are 'guarding?' the stone (Azeyma, the Warden) by Sandgate. This is my character's goddess and the music didn't change for me or anything, so I assume the music just changes for the stone in Mor Dhona? Will check it out.

http://i48.tinypic.com/149wfvn.jpg

UPDATE!

http://i50.tinypic.com/2it0z7n.jpg

Music doesn't change - there's just a loud... echoing? noise that comes from the stone. Sounds scary. ):

The music and sense of foreboding is great... otherwise, nothing's really happening yet. Even though the mobs are different and the areas are different, nothing has really changed in the world "activity" wise. Atomos... and lightning! Awesome music... and uh... ur... Atomos... and um... that's it.

I guess we'll have to wait for next Sunday.

It's a really wasted opportunity so far... but you know server limitations...

Come on, SE shoot the darn thing in the head already.
