Make FFXIV More Alt-Friendly... Please??????

[RitsukoSonoda]

Drawing a blank on the name of it. But I recall playing another MMORPG something like 10 or so years ago that basically had all your characters made on the same sever be something akin to family or roommates. The account itself tracked quest progress and completion, they all lived in the same house, shared the same stash/storage chest, etc..

It wasn't really graphically intensive. Cute anime-ish visuals with an angled top down view similar to Secret of Mana that was rotatable. Basically kind of typical of alot of F2P MMORPGs that came from various countries in Asia at the time.

I know it's not the MMORPG you are describing but this fits Black Desert Online to a T, too.

I kind of agree tbh though I can understand the current setup they have. I have an alt that's pretty well leveled up but I was in High School when i leveled them up. Got to college and have barely played them since. Barely have time for my main as it stands and it's only gonna get worse in the coming years.

I would rather them add more content to the game so my main character can have things to do, instead of wasting progression on an alt.

sure that's cool but like
the people who work on your cool new content
are probably not the same people who could be overhauling the severely outdated coding that would allow the game being alt-friendly
so
it's really not a big deal for you if you're cool with one char

for the rest of us who want to do something different tho
yeah
it's also different
in a huge bummer kind of way

you're literally missing out on nothing you've spent your time doing
whereas just bc we want to be a potato sometimes or visit a friend on their own server without having certain functions restricted or maybe bc we want to hide from people and be asocial but still play - we suffer from losing everything we worked for or spent money on.
which wouldn't be half as bad if a huge chunk of collectibles weren't locked to a single-time run of seasonal events buuut that's not the case

sooo
that's fun.

there's also the big issue where if someone is being stalked then changing servers, names, and appearance does not stop a determined person from continuing to stalk a player via their lodestone page. so making a new character but still having access to your collectibles, would be very, very nice for those very, very unfortunate people who have the misfortune of being stalked.

because we can level to 90 again but we can't get our seasonal event glams, titles, emotes, mounts, and minions back without waiting an entire year and spending dozens of dollars on things we already own and have access to, just on a different character. it's super not cool!!!

and it comes all at literally no bother to you
if people get their alt-friendliness.

you can stick to your one character perfectly fine and not notice a single difference

and it's not like they have to spend huge amounts of manpower and resources creating new assets, materials, textures, models, rigging them, animating them, etc, etc - to give us this access. it's all in the game already. we just need the coding to be reworked.

the game is outdated
i wouldn't mind a realm re-reborn 3.0 just to nuke the engine we're on to put our game on a newer one that isn't held back so severely
it would benefit us all in the long run, not just people who want their collectibles to be accountwide

thanks and bye
