FFXIV 1.0 Local

[Velera]

I'd be content with just being able to walk around single player, just simply for nostalgia. I highly doubt that would take much work. There are other games that do this simply for playing single player that aren't MMOs. They run the server application in a separate process that's built into the launcher and therefore transparent. The 1.0 servers already unload areas that have no people in them to reduce server load (this is why you can die to something and come back like 10 mins later and its hp hasn't regenned if you didn't get near it) so it should be able to manage running in the background.

I think anything beyond what I'm suggesting would probably be an extreme amount of work load for the developers so I don't see it happening. They are already highly overworked. It could be something they could implement after 2.0 settles in, but it's most likely not going to happen, sadly.

1.X is shut down for good in two weeks? Where's the harm in turning on GM mode for all players until then? Give us free reign to go wherever we please and do whatever we want.

I do 100% agree with this though, they should have done this when the servers came back up after the save, or after Dalamud "landed."
