Alternative solution to glamour log

[Abriael]

Talking about WoW, how come a game old from 2004 can handle that kind of feature but not FFXIV which have been remade in 2013? And they also have full open world (limited to continent) and still they don't encounter so much issue on the data transfer.

Because they are coded differently, being different games, designed to support different platforms. It's pretty amazing that this needs to be explained.

Adding to it, I believe it took Blizzard quite sometime to setup the glamour system over there as well.

But still, it can be done, and should be done at some point of time in FFXIV as well.

Don't even need to look at WoW. They are not unique, nor are they the first to have a log of appearances. Other MMOs implemented it fairly early on.

I still stand firm on my speculations on the 1.0 spaghetti code returning from the grave to hunt the coding team. If it's true then it might be faster to start designing a new system from scratch. The time and resources required though...

What I meant is that they keep using the excuse of data transfer and the mount of data it represents. They probably don't use engines older than WoW, so if WoW can do it then they can.

And what I meant is that you have zero evidence to allege that it's an "excuse" or "false" in any shape or form.

Saying " if WoW can do it then they can" is a gross oversimplification completely blind to the reality of developing a complex game like a MMORPG, even more so on multiple platforms and with different features.
