Uh thats what they are doing? Right now we are basically beta testing for a relaunch when the PS3 version is released.

You are more than welcome to stop playing if you dont enjoy the game sir.

I doubt SE will have some great epiphany because of your words. We have no idea how much money they have to spend, what they have planned for the future, and you certainly have no idea what the entire mmo community wants.
I try not to feed the trolls but I had to just this once. :S -

PS3 launch is gonna be a hard sell. Since the games initial launch reputation is gonna be there when they hear XIV, Stigma!
I think by regroup & relaunch he means Shut down, Rename and Re-launch. So the game has a clean slate. -
05-20-2011, 12:01 PMElexiaIn the west maybe. There was a decent surge of JP consumers buying the PC version of XIV the past few months, not anything to write home about, but it was enough to show there is still interest there and it's also a console nation.Quote:

There wasn't a ton of fanfare at the original launch. Through enough advertisement along with it launching on a console instead of the PC, I'm sure they can mostly overcome any stigma that was built up. Perhaps they could go so far as to add on a subtitle or whatever to emphasis that it isn't the game it once was.
Really the main thing I'd worry about is how they're going to convince the current XIV community to move to a p2p plan. I'm sure several will have a bit of a hissy about that regardless of how the game changes. -

This thread brings out the immaturity of so many. But I disagree with OP. And I also don't think PS3 is going to be its life saver.
-
05-20-2011, 12:44 PMElexiaWhy still hang around then? Since it's pretty clear they're banking on the JP PS3 launch to pretty much "save" it.Quote:

Sadly though with other games it's going to be very tough. Even if every person was paying now it would be losing a lot of money and never break even. The game will be how it is now for a while and probably go to about the subscribe base of XI for a few years and maybe in the future we'll see, but competition is fierce and high now unlike back in XI's days and even then it took them couple years to break even with a payment plan from the start.
But in the end the game will most likely survive, the "image" of a FF game is all SE have and they passionately want to keep the franchise "successful". -

This current discussion in the topic reminds me of something I read on Gamefaqs when doing some searching for certain keywords.
About a month ago I saw a thread on the gamefaqs FFXIV forum for the Pc version asking when the game was coming out. The poster didn't know it had released because he had never seen any merchandising or advertising and was genuinely shocked that it had been out for almost 6 months without hearing about it. Of course the thread then deteriorited into a bunch of gamefaqs trolls slamming the content and claiming things that had been fixed as far back as decemeber. But its gamefaqs whatcha going to do.
The point is, in the US and europe they did a piss poor job advertising the game which might save them if they DO advertise for the PS3 launch. -

The Japanese players keep to themselves so that won't add anything to the game for me to be honest community wise.

on topic the only game I know that shut down it servers and relaunched their game was cloud nine previously holic. From what players said, it was done due to the amount of hacking and botting was going on and it was the only way to do it. Oh and the game evony..... due to the bullies. (which was called something else in beta just when launched had a name change.

05-20-2011, 01:11 PMviionthat GTA game i forgot its name, APB i think? Also got shudown like less than 2 months, but is being relaunched as f2p.Quote:

05-20-2011, 01:15 PMviionOh wow no refund? that's pretty bullshit. Makes me respect SE for not charging us (even XI got 1st month refunded!).Quote:
