A small request for one the next patches to come.

[Jennestia]

its amazing that something as simple as LOLOLOL "shut down" took over a year to implement.

Yeah, it doesn't take a year to design nor implement a shut down command, it's hard to ignore they had bigger priorities ahead of them, i.e battle system reform which does take a significant amount of time.

Is /shutdown the same thing as ALT+F4?
Dunno, never played FFXI to know that thing.

Yep, the way FFXI did it was you either logged out to be taken back to the character select or POL, or shutdown to completely close the game, so it's basically alt+f4.
