Give us a memento for putting up with 2-hours of disconnects

Dear SE.

As amazing as the cut scene was, it doesn't really make up for the fact that people spent a week killing things in cities and at camps, only to spend their final 2 hours on a black "now loading" screen.

A -lot- of people stayed up late for the event, or skipped out on other responsibilities to make sure they got to experience those last few moments in Eorzea.

And to be honest, it was a real let down. This wasn't the first time that people all gathered in one area, so there really isn't an excuse for the problems. Atmos should have been the "beta" test for handling this.

A lot of people are rightly upset. And it doesn't do well to have your final act in the game come off as a failure. Reputation wise it seems a bit embarrassing, especially when you are trying to convince people that the new team has fixed all the issues of the old one.

And arguing that it's the fault of the servers isn't overly legitimate, as everyone knew the quality of the servers and what they could handle beforehand. Even if you weren't sure of how many people would show up, you should have planned for the worst.

So please, give something back to all those people who stayed up late, skipped out on life for a day/night, and devoted themselves to the finale of your game

On a more positive note:
The cut scene was absolutely amazing. I'm really looking forward to 2.0 and I'm sure it will be an amazing game. But please, learn from your mistakes, plan ahead, and make sure this doesn't happen in the future.

I'm sure nearly everyone here will forgive you for this, as we know how hard everyone has worked on 2.0. And even if we get nothing for our troubles, I want to say thank you for an amazing two years and a somewhat amazing climatic end

:]

like a relic

999,999,999 gil please, and all my DoH/L 50.

Maybe throw us a bad dev to tear to pieces?

*sigh*... let us play alpha as soon as possible.. damn the translation and stuff.. and get to the point already... i dont need any gift...i dont read JP and i NEVER READ THE DAMN STORY! lol

They'll give you a memento when you stop being a nerd.

Just give anyone who had an account before tonight a small token item or something. Like one of the rings from the contest, hint hint.

Ohh, more "give give, you owe me everything" ^^

Yeah, asking for a token item that they were probably planning on giving us anyways is totally entitled. >_>

(C'mon, you seriously don't think SE was going to give people who joined in for this a token item, regardless of how it turned out?)

Why? Because not only did you pay for a movie, but you used up time, which has value.

Time has value.
SE convinced 1000s of people to give up time in order to experience an endgame event they planned for months
and then they dropped the ball

It's not entitlement to be upset that someone wasted your time.
It's intelligence.

In reality, a smart person would just go to an MMO that doesn't waste their time over and over again with empty promises.
However, we have a really awesome fanbase here with people who genuinely care about the game, and put up stuff like this.

So I think it is completely fair to ask for a little something in return for our continued loyalty. Especially when they just messed up the final event which from a marketing standpoint is supposed to make people "never forget" ffxiv so they want to play 2.0 when it's released.

I bet you told the Wright Brothers they couldn't fly too. Because you're super old and shit.

The Wright brothers were only dealing with the laws of physics. We're dealing with Yoshi and he's already said no.

SE give us a live letter

Give me a giant replica of the R0 symbol.

Nobody payed for the last day.
And what have you expected? SE call many people to be to a specific time in a specific place. If someone didn't expected crashs and lags then this person haven't played this game very long.

Empty promises? Oh you mean like a remake?
Refunds and Coupons? To bad we got 0 free play time. Oh wait...
Intelligence...we will come back to that one at another time

They are giving me A Realm Reborn and I am content.

Really people? Who cares? I CHOSE not to participate because I KNEW there would be major connection problems. Get over it and go play with your relic weapon.

I'll take a simple apology but even if I don't get that I'll get over it. I am just looking to the future now and that trailer has me so hyped.

Greed, eh. How about that greed? Greed.

Same here.

I'd be happy with a video of Yoshi-P destroying the 1.x servers with a sledgehammer.

I would be very happy with this. Take the servers outside and just break them in every way possible and post the videos.
Out with the old, in with the new.
