Wada Explains the Revamp?

[Jennestia]

They didn't just ban me from posting. They banned me from even visiting the site. On every IP address I own. I can't view it on ..

My Phone
My Home Network.
My ENTIRE work network which is a nationwide WAN that encompasses about 100,000 IP addresses.

They really didn't want me coming back :P

This I'm pretty sure would be a curse thing rather than ffxivcore, as there's zero bans set up based on this criteria for that specific forum.

Its all IP Address ranges and I can still post on the Curse forums. Its the Core site i can't even see it comes up saying "You are not authorized to view this site."


If we own X.X.1-5.1-255 IP Address and I'm on X.X.1.15 and core bans X.X.0.0 It bans everyone in X.X.X.X I'm not sure what you guys put at the range for my ban but its horribly huge. and as I said my phone is blocked (1 Unique IP Address) so is my home network (2 Unique IP Address) and my Work Network (100,000 Unique Addresses, though I'll be honest I only checked 5 of our external addresses as thats all thats needed to verify the entire IP range is blocked.)

For those who didn't know 4.5 billion yen is roughly 55.6 million USD, so it is actually believable since Square takes in upwards of 1.5 billion USD as it's annual revenue.

Yeah, SE will bounce back and has hopefully learned their lesson. So was the whole New Crystals thing canned? The series of games that started with XIII?

Strange. I will look into this. Do you have a form of messenger or anything. I do not wish to derail this thread with this matter, but I certainly would like to fix this.

I don't really care to be honest. I've washed my hands. I was trying to be nice. I hosted a Art Contest that a lot of people had fun with but Zyuu decided to delete the thread for. The whole "Lets delete any mention of the word Eorzeapedia, make people dump the data from any links they post and not allow them to give proper credit but don't stop them from posting the data uncredited" really pissed me off. I have no intention of ever visiting the core site again.

I wonder if XI is part of that "internet related" profit estimate?

Anyway I'm not too excited over SE cellphone and/or facebook games that seems to be the direction they're heading towards.

I'm having fun with Knights of the Crystal, but the paid features are way too overpriced.

Probably not, but it's a big, big, BIG market in Japan. (Mobile phone gaming.)

[Suirieko]

Okay, no worries then. I just wish to clear this matter up. Yeah I really never liked how Zyuu was so anti, well, a lot of stuff. It's just all silly. It's most certainly not a policy I'd ever follow myself. Anyway, I'm not going to talk about this matter any further, so back to the topic at hand.

I'm not surprised at the huge loss, and I'm certainly not surprised that FFXIV can be attributed to this. If anything it makes perfect sense on what happened with FFXIV being in such a state: The complete lack of communication. It's a good thing that they realize this, and trying to fix it. This forums and FFXI forums is proof of this.
