Server rules for different player demographics

[ellohwell]

We need servers with different rulesets. Then everyone can just choose the service they want/prefer instead of having to put up with other people's ideas of a good game which conflict with your own (and the original vision of FFXIV too)

Basically, there are too many competing interests of FF fans and MMO players that just end up ruining the game overall for everyone. So separate servers with different rulesets are needed.

They should implement a PvP server, hardcore server, casual server, a server with lighter restrictions (see Optimal Rank and Favoured Class system).

And everyone will live happily after.

It's a bit presumptuous to make MMOs around a one-size-fits-all policy.

At the very least it would shut everyone the frack up.

Having the same people on servers can get very boring after awhile. I mean if you mix them up you have different people with different play styles. just cause you want to be casual for one part of your gaming life doesnt mean you wont want to become hardcore or somethign later on and if you have a server with only casual players. you;d have to create another one to see if you even wanted to become hardcore. Or just because you hate or dont want any part of PvP now doesnt mean you wont want to at least try it later on. Mixed servers are great in my opinion.

I can say the very same to you. Different ruleset ? NO

And then there can be another server for all the people that want to painstakingly level their jobs alongside their classes all the way to R50 so they can finally feel complete.

And then there can be a PVP server for people who aren't carebears.

pvp servers plz ty.
any thing that alows OPTIONS sounds good to me. but you know on these forums its all niche market no one would understand this logic.

Do you appreciate how much work it would be for the development team to customise every server to players will...


That being said I'm all for regional servers (for people who don't want the issue of akward time zone differences in LS events and latency problems)

Yoshi-p said he never going to add a PVP server because they never going to allow PK now if a lot of people request it maybe it would happen but i really don't want to see it.

We need servers with different rulesets. Then everyone can just choose the service they want/prefer instead of having to put up with 90% good game with 10% stupid crap.

I hate some of the recent changes and would like a server where I dont have to deal with some of that shit. For example, on my server Optimal Rank and Favoured Class would be on ALL gear and there would be no rare/ex (except on a few things) and there would be no Restrictions on R18 swords! And materia system wouldnt be a stupid grind and there would be none of this guaranteed HQ success crap.

I say you get a server and forum all to yourself, so the rest of us don't have to deal with your drivel on a constant basis.
