Continuing 1.23 until 2.0's launch.

Hello,

I just want to state that I voted Yes; as a last look around the old Eorzea, recording, speaking with contacts and friends, it would be nice. Though I was curious to if the Developers would implement a system which we can utalise in this period of nothing being carried over.

Would it be possible to add NPCs whom can give the players Weapons, and Armour from any location in the game; just for this small time phase, so that players can just have fun with what they didn't obtain in 1.XX. There would be no repercussions to this, as the stats of items and how they work are changing in 2.0. I believe having this option would keep a healthy playerbase, and hilarity would ensue.

While it isn't as easy; allowing all player's to have their classes raised to 50 could also be amusing. Full Darklight Warrior Garuda Run? White Mage Holy Spam w/ Relic in Hamlet? There's so many different things players could do, and due to the small timeframe and lack of carry-over; it could be a final cheer for 1.xx and the fun that it has brought us.

Much Thanks.

The entitled players would complain that they couldn't keep the stuff. No matter how many times they were reminded that it wasn't permanent, they'd cry.

This is a fair point; but considering it's handed to them, that should be enough surely? I think it'd be nice to have some temporary fun with the items.

I have the same thoughts as well when I read in the letter from the producer xxxv. It's a game and should be enjoyed regardless if the process you've made during this period, after November 1st, does not transfer to 2.0.

Even though people might not play it after November 1st, why should it be of any of their concern if other people still want to enjoy the game on their own terms after November 1st?

I was going to make a post just like this... I can't vote on the poll i get 'the region is different' so i wanted to vote YES. Seeing as no save data will be taken over after November 1st, why not just go crazy? Why not just add a patch with a vendor that sells every item in the game for free? Why not remove the times on dungeons and the re enter times? why not make it easy for everyone to finish up the content in the game that will not be in 2.0? None of it will count to 2.0, it will be fun and it's a good way to end 1.0!

2.0 is pretty much a new game.. so the end of 1.0 is like the death of this game we play now. Let us just go mental with the content on the final days! If you don't want to play and have these items taken from you then don't. Just let the few who want to be there when it goes down to have a great time playing!

Thanks for your response. I very much agree; also try changing your region at the top right of the page to your correct region. I remember the community reps mentioning this problem before.

Do this after November 1st when your final save happens, no reason for them to bring the server back up after it goes offline, you'd get the same results lol.

Change your region on the main lodestone page to be the same as your se account and you should be able to.

Thanks for the help guys! That worked!

They should add an NPC after November 1st that just hands out swimsuits.

I would like to see some silly changes added after nov 11th.. 100% drops, superspeed running stuff like that.

Either way though, it would be fun to just revisit the game from time to time and get a last glimpse of things before the lights are turned out forever.

As far as the progress not being saved.. the Devs should just replace the "Don't sacrifice your personal/work/school life" warning with one that says: "Character data was frozen on November 1st. Any progress you make or items you obtain from Nov 1st until (shutdown date) will not carry over to ARR"

Seems like an easy fix.

I am struggling to find reasons to log in now, and my stuff is being saved.

I answered a very truthful no to the question they posed.

Many people have already selfishly ruined the opportinity for others to waste time in the dying world.....

Do not want.. Let 1.0 die ,Time to move on.

In my opinion, after the grand finale the servers just need to close... would be strange playing like before after a damn moon crushed. Also, don't forget to keep up this version they need staff to watch it running, and i actually prefer that peoples are emplyed in 2.0 switch

You mean that person that would have to make sure the power is still flowing to the servers every now and then? I dont hink that would hurt SE, given their all big n stuff.

Guess ignorance is why people would want them to waste time keeping servers up after it's supposed to be off. They won't be developing for it but that doesn't mean it's not a waste of resources better spent on ARR.

Like so many people have said before, this community will be the death of ARR long before SE.

If it would actually hurt them in anyway, they would have never given the option.

Aside your stupid sarcasm, yes. Because you know, after 1° november servers can still crash, and this game never been good on that front :| someone still need to be there responding to this situations, and soon, not "now and then"

As I said, Ignorance is bliss. It's not a matter of hurting them or not since keeping it free for a year hurt them more than anything else could. They offered the choice because this community is very prone to complaining when they don't even get a choice on anything.

You've been here for awhile, don't turn a blindeye.

It would take <1% of just v1.0's staff to simply maintain the servers. 2.0 does have its own staff if you didnt already know, it has for a long time. when 2.0 starts, the 2 staffs combine and becomes even bigger. NOTHING is being wasted anywhere, 2.0 has its own staff building it. no lost reasorces. no blisful ignorance, just truth.

They already stated they're bringing both teams together once 1.0 goes offline, yes that is well known. Yet people would want them to keep 1.0 up, so even having no development done on it is still a waste of resources by having the servers online, especially because of the fact it's just here to be here to give people a place to chat basically, a waste of space.

Yes it takes "that one person to make sure it stays up"..do you think that one person will be paying the bills for the server upkeep of a game that shouldn't even be online?

So then do you consider it to have been a waste of resourses to keep the servers alive for 1.5yrs while they revamp everything, since no bills were getting payed in that time frame.

Dread to think what would have become of FFXIV had they done this poll back then.

They were still developing for 1.x FFXIV as well as rebuilding it for ARR as well as charging people for it (In Jan) so they were even more obligated to develop for it. The difference between then and after they go offline for the purpose of moving onto ARR, is bringing back 1.0 after everything is all said and done is a waste of resources when they already stated once 1.0 goes off, ARR beta goes up, which means they've completely moved on at that point.

Keeping 1.0 around at that time is a waste of time and resources. You can argue semantics and say the very fact you're posting on their forums is a waste of their resources, but you can't ignore the fact there's truthfully no reason to bring 1.0 back online at that point beyond pretty much what even SE stated, just to give people a chatroom basically since nothing you do will matter.

Why would anyone vote no? Seems pretty selfish. You're not going to be playing, so you'll ruin it for people who want to stick around for socializing? Cool, thanks.
