    Maybe you could suggest working on it to the dev team it would be a good feature. This is a standard feature in a lot of mmos. In that you can put in someones user id or email that they gave you and add them to your friendlist which is cross server. Then you can invite them to your server and they are teleported temporary to your server so you can play do dungeons and raids together.

    Can we at least have the team look into the possibility of either re-queuing the same instance or queuing for another with the same party that the Duty Finder has matched us with?

    This would greatly help out groups that have found compatible players who may wish to do multiple dungeons together or give players a better chance in runs of Primals that make significant progress but run out of time, instead players are basically left to start over with a fresh group when they have to re-queue.

    A feature that is built in from the start. If the framework for it isn't there, then it takes years to implement properly.

    BTW boys and girls "we do not currently have any plans to" is not "no". It's MMO speak for "maybe, but not right now".

    Having an opinion does not make you right or wrong, it simply means you have an opinion. Don't get irritated when people don't agree.

    Remember Zumi: FFXI let you chat with your cross world friends via messaging and I thought we wanted nothing XI did in this game?

    FFXI's Friend List was also handled differently though - it was part of the external Playonline Viewer and not the game client itself, so it could connect remotely to all servers (and even cross game, well, the few games that actually used POL that is.

    So unless SE similarly moved the Friend List into the launcher client (which would probably just be too much trouble than it's worth), I don't see it happening sadly. It would be great if SE could do this though - I've met lots of friendly people through Duty Finder which I would have loved to have connected with but couldn't due to being on other servers.

    Similar to what WoW did... instead of friend list they had "Real ID", which is basically now your battle net account ID. So if S/E could create a system where you could create another alias for your account outside of your email and create an S/E account friend list, it'd be possible. But that would require them to work with more than just the FF14 team probably.

    In fact I interpret it as "our current plan is just no" ^^;
    maybe the requested feature is beyond the original system design...

    Then tell SE to hire people from other companies because clearly there are plenty of MMORPGs that have this feature.

    While I cannot give a specific date on when personal housing will be implemented, I can say that prices will be completely separate from free company housing, and, naturally, far more affordable.

    Many of which are structurally different than FFXIV. How would you suggest they handle a situation where your friend on the other server shares a name with one on your home server? Duty Finder likely does this by simply having a condition that doesn't allow for identical names to be matched, but the way people are describing what they want you'd be able to force a party with two people with identical names. Many of the MMOs that allow this sort of thing reserve your name across ALL servers and for some the "servers" are more like channels. The only tool they have to link Worlds right now is the Lodestone and that doesn't interact with the game other than to ping the database for character sheets.

    This would be a feature added to the Lodestone and wouldn't be useful in-game at all without expanding the Lodestone beyond a simple webservice.
