I've been a part of XIV since closed alpha. I took a break from Feb 2011 - July 2011. I peaked in from time to time with each new update. It was patch 1.18 that really brought me back to XIV for good. It was the first real update of the players polls, the promises and the "hype" of the rewrite. patches 1.19 and 1.20 have tempered my faith that this team will turn XIV around.

I'm looking forward to Ver 2.0. but I'm also looking forward to the updates we'll get for ver 1.x while we wait for October to roll around so we can get our first taste of ver 2.0
