SE WAKE UP! 90% of the lost subscriber base was expecting FFXI-2!

Where is there a Ghost town?

Gridania :P

Se is losing their customer base for releasing an unfinished product.

While they will some of the people wanting a ffxi-2 it is not the main factor atm.

[Argh]

i don't approve of how this game was released and i don't support the lore. i DEFINETLY DO NOT WANT FFXI-2. i was expecting new races, new stories and tbh i was expecting same mechanics as ffxi tho.

that IS FFXI-2, exactly as you described. i guess alot of you people are self-confused.

Some insight on Argh's mentality:

i am glad you are enjoying your something new in FFXIV, like the million of others....oh, wait!

oh shit, so you mean the hundreds of thousands of players who are enjoying it are actually just NPCs cleverly placed to keep 20 people subscribing? Scandelous!

Gridania :P

Oh ok. That makes sense. Was gunna say. My character is in Ul'dah and I can see about 100ish people hanging out in my draw distance and I'm not near the most populated part of town.

I didn't quit XI due to its graphics. Don't say 90% of the players were expecting XI-2 because that's a lie. If I wanted XI, I'd play XI.

[Wolfie]

so i assume you fall into category number 2?

2] you don't like the game in it's current state & don't want FFXI-2, basically not knowing what you want.

or maybe you can be more specific and explain what a modern mmo is?

Dude, what? Are you just pulling stuff out of your butt here?

A modern MMO has mechanics that are intuitive and easy to pick up, but hard to master. No frustrating systems (looking at you, Market Wards), fun content, multiple ways of leveling up (grinding blows), functioning social systems, and not be a bug-ridden skeleton of a game with an unresponsive dev team. Basically, the opposite of FFXIV while under Tanaka's team. When Tanaka was still in charge, the game sucked hard; there was almost nothing redeemable about it.

I was looking for an MMO that I could pick up and put down easily (as I was led to believe by their marketing campaign), and that was FUN.

Look at how polished RIFT is. Look at how responsive their developers are; they fixed dozens upon dozens of bugs (minor and major) as soon as they were reported. That's how you release an MMO. Yoshi-P has to clean up a mountain of garbage that Tanaka made.

Erm, there's like 17,000-33,000 active players at most. Not to defend Argh but don't exaggerate lol.

Gridania :P

probably due to it's adventuring zone being a goddamn boring maze. D: there's a reason we loved Saruta-baruta, it was wide and open and pretty.
