FFXIV Legacy and Welcome back campaigns

[Ruisu]

An article title says "Square Enix really wants you to play their game" is completly immature, and makes me think it was written by 12yr olds, the site is is a failtard itself.

They do this with all of their fucking articles with witty remarks. Not just towards SE, but Nintendo, Capcom, any company that isn't MURRICA or Bioware, etc. It's obnoxious. Hard to believe that people take them seriously.

I stopped going to their site. Kotaku is worse than IGN by a long shot.

how is it you can have a "welcome back" campaign that is aiming to capture new subscribers while four of the worlds are full??

Short answer, you can't.

SE is not trying to get new players, it's trying to tempt old ones back by showing them how much the game as improved since release, SE will not seek out new players untill 2.0 is released & this years E3.

You know how many old players quit? like 450k... :P hahahaha :P

Ah, so lets's bring back old players to join their friends! Who have server transferred...... and I'm stuck on the old server because I was not subscribed during the merger...... Now my friend's world is at "max population"....... I cannot transfer to his server ( not offered by SE ) andd now I cannot even delete my old char and create a new char on his server ( currently suspended )....... Now SE expects me to wait until 2.0 comes out, which is how long again??


And this is happening on four of the worlds? For some reason this scenario really bugs me.

I am fully convinced by what YoshiP stated as a reason to make the package pricing easier to understand and more standard (+cheaper than other companies MMO pricing)
フォローありがとうございます。はい、意図はレターにも書きましたが、上記が全てです。
ゲームシステム等は関係がありません。
MMORPGは「ロールプレイ」に最適なゲームですので、ネタキャラ含めて沢山キャラ作れた方が、
吉田は嬉しいと思っているので、できるだけそうしたいと思っただけです＾＾
Thanks for follow up; like I stated in the letter above statement is everything, it has nothing to do with the game system. MMORPG is best for roll playing so I think it's more fun to be able to create many characters including joke character, so I wanted to make it so.

1アカウント下に幾らキャラを作成しても、1アカウントで複数キャラクタはログインできません。
ですので上記で影響があるのは、DBのストレージサイズ（容量）だけです。
負荷には直結しないですし、ストレージ費用の想定上でトータル40キャラとさせていただきました。
（ちなみにスタンダードorレガシー1アカウントで40キャラ以内であれば、
どのワールドにでもキャラクタ作成可能です。同一ワールドには8キャラクタまで。
ただ、サーバ負荷上限に達したワールドには、新規作成できない時期も発生します。
同時接続者数の物理限界はあるので）
Under one account even if you make many characters you cannot login multiple characters at once so only thing that affects is the Database storage amount. It doesn't lead to any heavy loads and made the storage for 40 characters total. (Also for standard or legacy account with 40 characters you can create character in any world, and with same world up to 8 characters however for worlds which reached the server limitations will have time where you cannot create a new characters because there are physical limitations on number of players connecting at same time.)

リテイナーについては関連するコンテンツも含め、仕様公開までお待ちください。
ただし、ストリートの概念は大幅に変わるので、あまり今の「リテイナー配置仕様」は参考にならなくなります。
As for retainers and related content please wait till details are released.
However for the street (market) will change greatly so the current retainer placement system wont be good reference.

This clears up the whole " Must pay for extra characters" people :P.

Yes, they quit which means there characters are inactive and got transfered to the default server so character creation shouldn't be a problem since they already have chars.

This is great. It gets me more and more excited for 2.0 everyday. Oh, how I wish that day was close...

I love the showing your name in the credits, but... Is it after the whole process of changing race/gender and possibly name? If we can change our name, I'd like my new one to show in the credits. It's not a huge deal, but it would be nice.

I'd do it anyway if it wasn't possible. I'll just be like, "Oh! There! That's me! Before my fabulous transformation."
