Sleep‽ What's that? He's riding high on NoDoz or whatever the equivalent is in Japan.

[Starlord]

Hehe, Holland its quite alright mistakes happen. but nearly 2am on the Forums? he's up to something "probably typing the Long Producer Letter XII" for tomorrow perhaps?

[Holland]

That would put Japan either 2 hours or 26 hours ahead of me, as I'm sitting pretty on the East Coast of the US. I believe Japan is around 13 hours ahead of me.

Yes, in my mind I had japan as 24 hours + =/

I can't wait for whatever they have planned for player (or even LS?) housing, sounds great. However, I am not really sure what you are implying with deliver/mail box or really see much of a difference between the two? I understand what you mean about possible exploits, but this has been my problem with some of SE's game design policies. You don't cut off your foot because you have an ingrown toenail (normally). Thats like Amazon permanently disconnecting from the internet as a way to avoid viruses and hackers. In their case its counter-productive because they are an internet business, but in our case its often counter-productive to the enjoyment of the game. Got off on a bit of a tangent, but the point is that you don't inconvinience your playerbase with specific game mechanics to fix security issues, you find stronger security measures that do not hamper gameplay.

As for having a DB/MB system, I definately support them including one at some point. This would not just be used to get things from the AH or retainers or what have you. I used the DB/MB systems quite heavily in other MMOs to pass out currency/consumables/ and sometimes gear to fellow LS/Guild mates.

we should get a long producer letter from him this week. also for airship dont expect too much on individual map, right now they are working on it as quicker method of transportation with changes to it in the future.

So basically it wouldn't be like the XI Airship in other words. And for a very long time we can expect nothing like this:

to happen.

How do we know it won't be like the ffxi airships?

Also, it's probably easy for SE to make an instanced airship cutscene/fight using recycled assets, more so than making the actual airship and programming it to fly around eorzea.
