Let's hope these are not test instances because i'm sure that many are getting tired of playing the beta going on 9 months now? I mean really?! There is just too much competition out there. It really sucks with each and every patch I have in-game friends who leave because they take a very long time to fix/add new things. I for one am staying no matter what till Jan 1st of 2012. If it's not good by then and the majority of things are not fixed i'm gone. Seven months is plenty of time to dust off this gem and let it shine.

On a side note I hope SE markets the crap out of this game because that is what they are lacking. They should be doing what Valve does. Billboards, TV spots, magazines etc. I want new players to join so I can enjoy a more immersive world.
yea so i have herd. FF11 went way casual. idk i quit long ago
and your right, sorry for the personal opinion.

so what is SE to do? normal and hardmode? how will that effect the player base? will it attract new players?
how will it effect linkshells? 8 man raids?
actually im all for w/e they need to do to get more players. i have had alot of friends leave also.
i log on a couple time a week. a few friends are on. say hello do some leves and thats it.

i guess it doesnt really matter as long as SE gives us content. content they can add to, add stories, events etc.
people will always complain. x.x
i just hope w/e they have planned. i hope they make it fun.
