Turn out that the server is still online up till December 31st
there, you still have your chance to start recording

I have been recording a lot of cutscenes with my char equiped with the free relics just for fun and nostalgia. With all of its problems version 1.0 still looks great graphicaly. Only problem is fraps records game content in gigabites.

nothing meGUI can't handle... you just need time. x264 gets you to about 1/4th of the original size without noticeable loss in quality and even if you have no idea about encoding, there are presets for everything.

Except I don't, because I logged on just now and I'm the only one around. That makes it impossible for me to do pretty much anything.

So, you server admins, lemme ask you this.

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.

Because honestly, if you aren't gonna do that, you might as well shut them down now and save yourself some cash, because there's no reason for the servers to be available currently.

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.

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."

That's what I'm talkin' about. Let us, as they say, enjoy our "last chance at adventure before the realm is reborn".

Let see, if Im the server admin, I will pass this request to system admin (cause server admin have no privilage in this) while muttering myself "what the hell is GM mode???"
The system admin himself will reply "What the hell is GM Mode???"
Because really, theres no such a thing as GM mode. GM privilage is limited to walk through wall
So theres no such a thing as GM mode, will they make one for you?
Considering 1.0 no longer generate income, why should they?

Because honestly, if you aren't gonna do that, you might as well shut them down now and save yourself some cash, because there's no reason for the servers to be available currently.

The reason the server still up is because some player ask SE to keep it up. Im not gonna say "I told you so" to you because I dont know whether you request this or not

...the usual poorly written, condescending dreck from Rina...

I'm talking about "god mode", "invincibility"...call it what you will. Since the servers are now for all intents and purposes deserted, the meaningful content is inaccessible. If we aren't able to do everything in the game by ourselves right now, there's no reason for the servers to remain online for the next two weeks, unless you're really into running around an empty Ul'dah shouting at no one.

I don't mean to burst your bubble but anyone with any sort of common (uncommon?) sense in relation to online games would know what the vaguely described "GM Mode" would be; temporarily max stats, a permanent invulnerability, etc. They're Japanese, that doesn't make them any less intelligent than you are, and the fact that you are insinuating thus is actually kind of insulting.

Relax and stop the RAGE. These are just suggestions, not commands, orders or directives. Make a cup of tea or something and add some constructive criticism to the conversation instead of incessant bashing and negative retort to the OP.

Some people can't handle GM power, it may end up like this:
