The single biggest issue holding back FFXIV needs to be specifically addressed.

Cool man so by late 2012 or 2013 this issue MAY be fixed.

Top shelf!

lol.

Haha yeah... such an important thing to be fixed and it's "only" in a year from now.

[Catapult]

It would be very unfortunate if the game's server and UI overhaul a year from now didn't deal with this.

But given the nature of the problem, I doubt a patch job between now and then would actually be plausible.

Yeah, they should rush the development of new servers or perhaps sacrifice development on them just to fix the issue for this build.

You aren't that entitled.

Oh, maybe the message here is "creating new server structure, engine and proper compatibility between the two shouldn't take this long". MMO experts voicing their facts!

This has been an issue for SE from 2002-present day. It never got fixed in ffxi or in the multiple years of FFXIV development or during the first 13 months of retail. I would say as pressing an issue as it is you would think it would have been fixed already BUT as with every single other negative this will be 100% fixed in the golden patch of 2.0.

Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.

For people showing that blind faith that message is for you.

It takes quite a lot of work to do a server transfer such as SE is doing. Have you ever worked on such a project? I'm guessing not. I am working on such a project at work and we're about 6 months into it and we're not quite halfway done.

This is a HUGE issue yes, it's one that requires a MASSIVE effort to fix. There is no simple solution as you seem to be implying.

No you got me wrong I am not implying its an easy fix. What I am actually saying is this is a huge issue and has been for almost a decade why are they JUST NOW starting to work on it?

You know if there was a car company that had been making cars for 10 years without seat belts and they planned to make cars with seat belts in 2013 I would be happy they were doing it but I would still wonder why it took them so long to get such a basic design feature in their products.

FFXI and FFXIV are different games; different games on different servers with different underlying code. This game hasn't been out for 10 years, so I'm calling bullshit. You're going to have to provide evidence that FFXIV and FFXI run servers with the same (hardware/software) technology and same data structure to try to win that argument.

Um, what? FMO and FFXI didn't have this problem, what are you talking about?

He's pulling crap out of his ass to try to win the debate. If he can back his theory up with evidence, I'll give it to him. But that aint gonna happen.
