Allow me the spill ARR's dirty little secret: the real reason FFXIV was rebuilt was because 1.x was complete incapable of running on the PS3, which was vital to salvaging the game. It would have been much easier to optimize the existing game client (both graphically and network-wise) and just build a new server infrastructure, but even at minimum settings it would have given the PS3 a seizure.
I really wish they had done the latter. The graphics in 1.x were better by an order of magnitude.
So if it was that unpopular, it's rather selfish of the OP to expect SE to make a terrible business decision and continue funding a server that won't make them money.
And yes, a very significant portion of the JP players are PS3 users. The PS3 cannot handle those graphics.
Much as I would enjoy being able to see the old world, copy/paste and all, I have the distinct feeling they scrapped it.
This is the same company that lost all the original assets from Kingdom Hearts. A game that actually sold very very well.
Though they obviously are still using most of the assets from 1.0, I can't imagine they held on to all the stuff that made 1.0 work.
My 1.0 screenies because nostalgia :

Never happening from SE.
Btw there is a 1.0 emulator out there.. That's all I will say.
Does that data even exist any more lol or do you think it was over written and or deleted.
SE can add at least if not 1.0 server , but patch , something like WotG in FFXI , that will allow players to teleport 5 years ago (to 1.0 events) and play "Legacy story/quests/events" happened there . --> Devs please look forward into it XD
If you had the server up and running, you wouldn't be so enthusiastic about playing it then. How do I know this? Everyone complains a bout a lack of content.
well i miss the old game also and would reinstall the game for that but i guess it will stay uninstalled time to move to next game.
