going nowhere fast

[Renshi]

Yes, I call that very very very very very very little. Infact I call that pathetic. INFACT I call that the most laughable attempt at saving a game that is currently in a freefall without even having a parachute attached.

Yes, I indeed would call that very little, very very little.

Ok, now that you've stated that, think about implementing new content without those patches.

Ok, now that you've stated that, think about implementing new content without those patches.

Or think about not taking 9 months to stop the Prince of Pestilence occasionally porting into a wall.

Or think about not taking 9 months to add target mode C.

Or think about the roughly 30 minutes work it would take to add in a simple mail delivery system, even copy pasted from FFXI, but instead of mog houses, your retainers!

Ok so they added a few NM's, and some new quests?

Did they not say that they need to rebuild from the ground up, so they didn't want to put any new content out until the basics are fixed. So why did they add new content and not fix the basics?

The patches are abysmal, the game is a joke, I only play it at the moment because:

a) It is free (wouldn't even think about thinking about paying for it)
b) I got a shiny new PC and picked up a copy of the game for €6 just to see how the next gen graphics looked at full on it (disc could have been blank for all I cared at that price)
c) I am in an amazing linkshell with fantastic people who I chat with on Ventrilo every night
d) I want it to be great, and I have managed to endure the awful systems in place in the blind faith that the old Sqauresoft guys will lock the Sqeunix guys in the toilets while they run in and get everything magically fixed

Now, think about adding new content without those patches you say?

Think about not adding those patches at all, getting the game to a standard that would be suitable to begin paying monthly for, then you would never have to worry about adding those patches in the first place.
