    Did patch 1.18 make the game more appealing to new customers and potential customers?

    Not a thread to worship or bash the game just a simple question. Is the game more appealing to brand new people and people who may be in the market to play an MMO?

    If so/if not why

    I have 8 crafts at 50. All I did was watch T.V. and spam standard for easy mode synths. Enjoy leveling those crafts in 1.19 and beyond everyone!

    Few of my friends are installing the game to see. Like many, they initially didn't want to bother with it because of reviews, but now that the patch went live they're checking it out.

    From information they were wary of it because it seemed like another solo MMO, but now that group play seems to be the thing they're really interested.

    Is still to soon, i would not recommend the game to anyone just yet.
    Its building up in the right direction but its still to generic /unpolished.

    It will get there if they stay on the same track as 1.18.

    They are going to get in game. Leve to 10 or 15, and then ask you "What do we do now?". You can tell them to behest, or grind. They will quit after trying behest, and finding out they can only do it once an hour. Maybe they will grind, but I doubt they will do that for more than 10 minutes.

    It certainly has proven to spark interest in those who had none before. That's something. But as far as keeping people, I don't think it's quite there yet. As stated before, keep on this path and I'm sure they will get to that point.

    It still needs work. AA isn't too bad, but still feels awkward to fight, and they need to tweek a few things here and there.

    I would say it is impossible to say. We aren't new and our opinions are going to be biased no matter how hard we try not to be. And since SE isn't exactly advertizing this patch to the population at large, we may never know if this patch is or is not appealing to new/potential customers.

    Yeah I'm finding it a bit difficult to adjust but since new players haven't tried the old system it should probably go smoother for them.

    This is not a miracle patch, but it is a very solid step in the right direction.

    This will bring back alot of the lost FF players who are keeping an eye on it, for those outside the fanboy arena it will take a few more update of this magnitude to get them in.
