Updates: FFXI and FFXIV, a comparison

[Betelgeuzah]

the players base their progess on the content implemented in live servers ,because is where we play?

if they have internal version and all of them are busy playing in the new dungeons and having fun , i could care less....

So in your small mind, no feature exists or is in development before it is implemented to the live servers? It just pops out of nowhere.

With this in mind, every feature has similar development time and can be implemented to the game anytime. It's just a matter of swinging that magic stick!

Lastly, testing, preparing and implementing every new feature separately (that affects other features) does not slow them down at all, as well as making much sense when the feature in question has no relation to the current game but the game the dev team is working on.
