Yoshi's 4 choices POLL

Wrong if the poll had several hundred responses in favor of a clear winning choice I think SE might reconsider their stance.


The greater good would come from shutting this POS down and fixing it quickly w/o dealing with these crappy mini holiday events and 24hour primal release day rush's then 2 more months of nothing.


Haha this shows how little you understand from programming and server structure. This option does not offer them anything more then option A except a MONSTER headache to code. They chose the HARDEST option to deal with and the MOST work in the backend. Like Yoshi said option A is the easy one it requires almost zero overhead and guarantees the outcome is exactly as they plan.


I'm not an MMO expert but I was pretty sure the gold standard was option A and usually games allow you to server merge on request for a fee. Option 2 is basically option A + free server transfer ticket if you want it (so the smallest groups can all gather on 1 server German/French/EU).


This is the most activity in the forums since they were opened on day 1. That alone shows this is a serious topic worthy of discussion. Without player feedback we'd have no FFXIV at all as it would have ended with the abysmal launch from 2010. Like it or not many changes are direct ideas from these forums. The reality is this period were in is nothing more then a paid beta, I have no issue support the development of the game for 2.0 and I only hope they deliver something amazing and not the current casual POS we got right now.

#1. You're not going to get several hundred responses.

#2 Right, because development restricts merger and vice versa.

#3 ROFL! clone from multiple - copy to new is the hardest option? Right! So which part of server programing or server infrastructure do you want to discuss? Yeah I have absolutely no clue. Why did Yoshi opt for plan QQ instead if plan A is the holy grail?

#4 I dare say no one has issues with reading feedback and opinions. But is so much vitriol and disdain mixed into the feedback needed to show the displeasure? If its such a POS, if its so stupid, if the dev are so god damn incompetent, if Yoshi is so full of himself and the bane of everything he touches. Why stay?

I guess it's me I can't handle the hyperbole - I'm showing my age.

I posted the poll about 45 min back and there are 125 votes already

Read Yoshi's post again. He mentions option 4 being the most difficult to pull off. He also mentions it was a last minute choice between 2 and 4. It looks like the majority of us think's he just made a mistake.

Because one mistake a ruined game does not make.

He's going to see if they can go with option 2 now and adding idea of 4 into it - guessing players can go any server if they want and not capped?? They will confirm this one early next week

現状、開発/運営チームでは、非常にフィードバックの多い②案を更に調整し、
④案のメリットも生かしたものにできないか、
皆さんのフィードバックを参考にさせて頂きつつ、検討を重ねています。
技術的な確認事項、スケジュールの確認もあるため、恐縮ではありますが、
このまま週末に突入し、週明けまでお時間を頂けると助かります。
We are currently looking into making it possible to go by plan #2 which received many feadbacks and keep the merit from plan number 4. We need to check and verify the technical side and schedule so please give us until beginning of next week.

Hurrah for option 2

I don't know why people keep complaining. The worlds are number, just pick a number and have everyone gather in that world. If you or your friends refuse to go to the same world, then you don't care about each other to be called friends.

And if you have LS A going to world 1 and LS B going to world 2, but you decided to go to world 1 with LS A and complain about getting separate. You make a choice to go with LS A, it's obvious that LS B is not important.

Ninesunz I have 10 years experience in server programming, I have a BS in computer programming, and a BS in mathematics. I am the lead DBA on a server with thousands of concurrent transactions and hundreds of users. Option #4 is a nightmare to deal with trust me I have no idea why they would put themselves through so much work.

And as already stated they are going to do option #2 afterall barring any major technical limitations

The point was to encourage a different option and it worked see post above, oh and +7count fixed.

②A + B - X ⇒A World to merge with B World, except people that would like to move are able to choose a different World
