Hey there fellow adventurers,
So, as we journey through the world of Final Fantasy XIV, we gotta start thinking about makin' room for new experiences. The devs are doin' their best to keep us engaged with new content, but they're kinda limited in what they can do, ya know?
That's why I reckon we should start considering deletin' some old content to free up memory for new stuff. I mean, it's tough to say goodbye to areas or events that hold special memories, but some stuff has become outdated and just ain't relevant anymore.
Take guildleves and guildhests, for instance. They were pretty popular back in the day, but now hardly anyone participates in 'em. By gettin' rid of 'em, we could free up memory and resources for new, more exciting content that appeals to a wider audience.
Plus, by removin' old content, the devs could really focus on improvin' what's left and makin' sure it stays relevant and fun for everyone. That could lead to a way better overall gaming experience for all of us.
Now, I'm not sayin' it's an easy decision to make, and the devs would need to think long and hard about it. They'd need to make sure they're not removin' anything important to the community. But, I reckon it's worth considerin' if it means keepin' FFXIV fresh and engaging for years to come.
So, let's keep on explorin' Eorzea together, and keep our eyes open for the new adventures the devs have in store for us. Cheers!

All of these threads are starting to blend together. I'm serious.

As someone who's coming from a game where 70% of content has been deleted, I can tell you with a clear mind, that's the worst idea ever anybody can have.

04-26-2023, 07:47 PMAword3213There might be new possibilities for devs if they delete old content, but I personally don't want it to happen.Quote:

I hope more sprouts could get the chance to do old contents. -

They don't need to delete.
They just need to abandon going back to old content, abandon the idea of making new content that requires you to go do old content and zones.
New means new, new expansion means doing stuff for it only.
Let newbies just experience the older content themselves.
If the game is thriving as some believe then the argument of queue times is meaningless then. -

Enter a level 50 trial and observe how many sprouts you get, then try a level 70 trial and compare the number of sprouts. ARR is so boring and uninteresting that it makes most people stop playing.

This game is on par with many other games in relation to storage space. If you are talking about RAM, then that doesn't effect content that isn't loaded at that time. When you are in a dungeon, all the other dungeons aren't using your memory.Quote:

They don't need to get rid of older content, they need to innovate on it and expand on it. If they were to actually try you'd find that Guildhests could be designed and reshaped into something a lot more substantive.
They need to breathe new life into older content to either incentivize doing it and interacting with it rather than abandoning and removing it on a routine expansion-by-expansion basis. -

Not sure if its bait but removing content is why I stopped playing Destiny 2.
-
04-27-2023, 07:38 AMAth192Well Destiny 2 is extremely successful and people play it a ton so I guess you were in the minority. I don't necessarily think deletion would be the best solution, I think abandoning it and moving on to new content would be better, but if my only two options were to delete it and replace it or keep doing what they are doing to the game then by all means wipe it.Quote:

The point is that the content "vaulting" is overwhelmingly seen as a negative thing, it's just that the new content is "good enough" that people keep playing. It would likely be doing even better if the old content was also still available.Quote:
