Welcome Back Campaign Fail

[Alise]

People were crowd over the server pre-1.22a and I thought welcome back campaign would make it worse. But no, it seem the server has been quite lately. People seem to quit instead of farming 25,000 seal + 3x primal seal mostly, or that they just say they feel bored and doing something else.

Most probably other games >< or something else.... . is to be expected.... .

I just hope we don't end up hearing about "PS3 limitations" screwing over FFXIV the same way "PS2 limitations" stifled FFXI.

With FFXI the game was made for the PS2 and ported to the PC, thus limitations.

FFXIV is made for the PC & PS3, 2 seperate clients (or they ported the PC basics over) so there should not be any limitations.

but there will be limitation if they plan to make both platform to be played on same servers.

How would there? the PS2s limits were because of the client, not the server (the PS2 RAM was a big one, limited Inventory, Auto-translatr dic, zone limits etc.).

SE should of learned there lesson this time and develope the PS3 version in a way that optimizes the code and allows for greater limits.

yea sorry my bad rofl, i think i now remember Yoshi talking about seperating clients so that PC version will not be effected by the limitation of the PS3 version.... just can't remember the source right now haha.

Diablo III just came out this week. It's probably a fair guess that a lot of people rushed the exploit to have all 7 Garuda weapons so they could have spare time to dork out in Diablo III for a good long while.

Traffic will pick up again once the new wears off - so about three weeks give or take.

A lot of people simply thought "PS2 Limitations" was slang for "We don't want to do it", even a quick comparison of the PS2 vs PS3 specs would tell you even without client separation, it won't be limited like XI was.

Welcome back campaign did bring a few of my friends back, and some of them decided to pay for at least 90 days to get the benefits of legacy. Quite a few of them will probably get addicted to the game and stay for a few years, so OP trolling is a complete fail. The combination of legacy and welcome back campaigns was definately a great idea that will potentialy yeld SE quite a few thousands and maybe even hundreds of thousand dollars. Depending on how good of a job they do keeping the players interested 90 days later...

I came back to try the game when I saw the campaign. personlly I had no lvl 50 jobs, my higest was lv 33 lnc. I was impressed with all the changes I saw since I last played about 8-9 months ago.
I've since reinstated my account.
I do have complaints though still.
