Reassessing the Merger of FFXIV Worlds (02/13/2012)

[KiriA500]

if you were in favor of the original plan, you obviously have no friends in this game.

Or we just planned on communicating with them to see where we'd be going. For wanting to keep the community together so much, you sure didn't want to talk to them about it.

But whatever, the old way and the new way both resulted in me playing with my FFXI LS, so I don't care either way. This is neither a loss nor a victory, it's a way to keep playing a game I like with people I like.

Apparently I have no friends because I didnt QQ over the original post? I admit I like 2 a hell of a lot more but that's very childish to assume anyone okay with devs choices is a loaner who doesn't like anybody.

Original plan was fine, new one will be fine too. (further) Delay is not fine.

Someone posting online accusing others of not having friends because of a lack of a real argument...sounds like status quo in the MMO world to me.

You know, I don't really understand.

Why are you against them changing to option 2 when it does everything 4 does, but gives people like me the direction we want?

My linkshells won't be split, you and your friends can join any server you want, and people who decided to take a break till 2.0 won't be without old friends. I don't see the problem.

You don't need to worry. It's been stated that these various patch and merger delays won't change the 2.0 release date.

Looks like the rest of my post was lost on the first line. ~______~
Such is often the case on message board forum posts.

When you kind of insinuate people have no friends because they didn't cry about something...yeah the rest of your post is pretty meaningless lol.

Due to people getting them to change the merge setup, it could potentially delay 1.21. While it won't affect 2.0, it will affect those playing and anticipating 1.21.

All because people didn't want to communicate outside of the game/forum...sigh.

How do you know the merger and the update go hand in hand?

I prefer option 4, but...

My biggest hope is that returning players will have a choice upon return. Contrary to belief, I was never arguing for #2 so much as I was arguing for, like many other MMOs, simply allowing those coming back into the fold a choice, rather than thrusting them into a random server after March.

I agree with the above. A few friends plan to return to the game when 2.0 hits. I would like them to have a choice of server when they return.
