Like I said I do hope they do something with them in the mean time and Valor your point about new players is spot on, for a long time we wouldn't take anyone who we thought might not stick around so only took player who we could see that had put the time in, we figured if they can put that much time into FFXIV in it's current state then they would be most likely in it for the long haul. We did that purely so we didn't have to keep breaking the shell to remove inactive players.

However recently we decided recently to open our doors to anyone and posted on here and it's been great. Just yesterday we took in 4 new members and 2 of them started that day. As we didn't have any classes below R25 it was going to be difficult to help them out so we made brand new characters as well to help them get on their feet. We managed to get all their classes to R10 and then get one to R20 in a few hours and it was a probably the most fun I have had in a long time on FFXIV. So yeah taking new players on can be great and so far for us it has been, but yes we are opening ourselves up to the chance that they may not like the game and thus we have inactive players in our LS.
