Wishlist For 2.0 :) as it draws Near

A reason to play the game ONLINE rather than feeling like I'm just playing an offline game with a lobby world that's only online for DRM, and a world where cities feel like cities rather than just quest hubs too.

Linkshell Transportation- let LS's buy boats, airships, carriages, etc to travel from city to city and make the airship they have now just like the boat an actual airship ride where you can see the vast skys

I just wanted to say I love and completely support these ideas. For the big powerful ls's, there can be a weekly charge through some sort of system for a ls to purchase and maintain their own fort. Now it doesn't have to actually be a physical fort or building, but can easily use a zone to transit into your ls's guild. Can even give ls's bonuses for owning a ls house by giving crafting buffs and maybe spaces to display trophies. Also, instead of staying at the inn, can have your own personal room at your ls's house:D

I also like the the ls transportation idea. Unfortunately with anima and aetheryte crystals in the game...I don't really think there would be a real need for it in the game. But maybe ls's can get special tele's say to certain dungeon entrances or something.

I'm pretty sure they plan to have private company housing and have talked about it quite a bit. Hopefully they can preview that in the not so distant future.

I just want them to actually attempt to balance the current classes out. Not really holding my breath though.

I want a stand-alone download for 2.0 instead of the patcher. I want a lot of things from 2.0 but what I don't want the most is a two day long download to play.

I also forgot to add...I want a friend list confirmation...I don't really like people being able to add me to friends list without my consent..and then camp me for when I come online haha. Another thing that would be nice is /sea all command of course and to be able to see what zone people are in.

That's not how it's going to work. They will start storing our information on the New servers starting in July. Everything
you do in the current client gets mirror to the 2.0 client after log-out. The down time is going to be in replacing the
lobby server. I hope they replace the log-in client instead of patching it. I figure the downtime is going to be about 8-12 hours. Not that it matters. the patch server is going to be clogged anyways and a lot of people will take days before they have the new client anyways.

That's assuming they don't pre-emptively distribute the 2.0 client. Which iirc, they are.

My only question is the "beta". Will that replace the current version? Run along side current ffxiv?

The way I read it. it's not really a beta. they are just giving us free playtime on the PC Client after 2.0 PS3 Beta will most likley have it's own server and they wipe those characters on PS3 Release.

Oh and I would love for them to release the Client before hand. Do I believe it will happen. Not really.
