Well I do make sure I have those candies they are always individually wrapped to look like strawberries on hand if I have any visitors to my room in the old folks home.

Hop over to fresh new 10/10 games like Forspoken

Hasn't Forespoken kind of...totally crashed and burned, though?

I feel like this guy is trying to get me to buy <insert latest digital currency that's "about to go big"> or something... <_<

EDIT:

You have no idea what maintenance mode means. But I’m sure this post will go on for pages as it supports this forums favorite activity - complaining.

This is terrifyingly accurate.

EDIT2:

Speaking of, we should all go play that. It's even about to be on sale!

(Or is it already?....) ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯

Wait what?

I wouldn't mind getting into that game if it was still group focused (since it has the old school MMO elements for it) and if the Play Online system...uh...didn't exist. And I hated the "Go get Trusts, level up, then come and talk to us again" mentality of some of the playerbase (not always harsh, but it seemed the general consensus was "go level yourself solo with your Trusts then play 'the real game' once you hit level cap"), which kind of put me off from doing it since I like games like that for the multiplayer aspect. Apparently it's why people love private servers of the game...

Make a new launcher and have a bundled $20-$25 sub for FF11 + FF14 and I'd be all over that, though.

[Atelier-Bagur]

I dunno, I think it'll probably continue for at least a couple more years. FFXI remains lucrative for the moment, and its remaining playerbase is quite dedicated. They're also rather clever when it comes to finding unique ways to kill stuff or just break the game in general, something developers tend to appreciate when it comes to letting new people get hands on experience.

I think most of its playerbase plays on private servers because the retail version of it isnt what it used to be and just like with WoW, the old version of the game was much better than the current one

[Shinkuno]

Eh, with the changing of producers and him having the developers basically use FF11 as a secondary task so they can get experience in other games not sure how much longer there will be meaningful updates after this year.

Wasnt the latest update supposed to be the last one? Pretty sure its in actual maintenance mode now.

[MaxCarnage]

Having criticism of dev decisions is one thing, but to say the game is "officially in maintenance mode" is silly. Just because you don't like what content is added in patches doesn't mean it's not added. Do I feel like a 4 month update cycle is way to long? Yes, of course. Even if it's only "two weeks" longer than a patch cycle in ShB, it still feels unbearably long. But it still gets updates. It still gets content added.

But since OP has already pulled the "I've been playing MMOs much longer than you, I should know" card, I already know it's going to be dismissed.

Let's not be hyperbolic and label what's happening as something it isn't. The games not in maintenance mode, you just don't like the content added. That's fine. No need to make ish up to justify how you feel.

[LaylaTsarra]

Yeah it's in maintenance mode.

Did you even see the shark as you jumped clear over it, or was it not visible from orbit?
