Remove the One time character restore rule!

[Eloah]

I didn't read every post but this thread seems "odd" to me, and that's being generous sorry. I actually never knew they had a character restore feature since well, they don't need to. If I delete my character that is on me; now if it gets deleted that is another story, one that I wont express here. But basically if someone decides to stop playing, deleting your character is an "odd" choice. I mean if I stop playing a single player game like, Pokemon, other Final Fantasies, Tomb Raider, etc, should i delete my save file, NO! Its the same here, my character is my save file, I just file it away until later, when I want to play.

Oh and the post/s I read about it's a ploy to get players to buy the jump potions, NO, JUST NO. Stop making everything SE does, from now until a decision is made, about jump potions. Can I personally see using them, no, because I'm playing the game right now. But, can I see a use and a need for them, yes, why, because this is not a single player game. In order for it to stay alive SE has to be able to bring in newer players at anytime. So honestly when 7.0 roles around, would you really expect someone to trudge through 6 expansions? And if you say, "Yes, cause I had to do it" well, that's the reason the world is the way it is now. We should make the next person's journey(life) easier not harder.

What kind of drama even happens on this game? Are people really that abusive towards one another? How pathetic.

This is my first MMO so I can't really comment, but from what I hear, and have experienced, the FFXIV community is quite tame. There are elitists, but they are few and far between, thank god.

Come to a very populated server and you will see how cruel people can be in this game.

The Link is instead of letting a person restore there character beyond once, They are now gonna force them if they wanna return to start over and buy a jump potion...

I'm not all for it but that's the reason right there why it will most likely never change. There is more money involved rather than having a restore. You could say "make the fee equal" but you would have to make it equal to the story / job jump potions + a bit extra to cover the potential loss of monthly fees. Money wins, and unfortunately it always will. I get to make that clear today after the holidays back to some customers, so it will not be fun but it's what comes down the ladder.

can't they just stop playing the game by their own will?...

They can't, I'm not saying it is right but some can't stop, and they'll take full advantage of that. If you come back and realize your character is deleted, then they say "you can't recover, but you can remake them." you're either going to fork out the cash or you're going to say screw it. With as addicted as some seem to be with this game, I'd bet they would put out the money. When you take those numbers up to the higher ups, beyond Yoshi-P & Co. the kicker is they do not care one bit about a single person. Someone saying they'll quit is like taking a grain of sand out of the beach.

Say if 50 people quit and delete their characters, come back only to find they have to re-create. A small number I'm sure will just go all over again, level 1..others will see it and go "I'm not doing this all over again" and leave. The remaining will pay the cash.

It won't get harder to re-gain what you need as things go on. We will get to a point where we can solo older content safely and get glamour items. Right now some people are soloing level 50 content, it will just get easier as we get to 70. OP is right, there is money lost, but the probability that money being gained is higher. She's right, it needs to be removed..just won't. Maybe some good will come from this, maybe they'll increase the number instead of removing it. That's a middle-ground or a starting point of some sort.

But seriously I was in so much drama but I never thought about deleting my character. You may want to take the game not so serious (including ppl who talk bad about u) and move on (different server maybe?). Why you delete your character anyways just log out or so lol

I'm on Odin, one of the most popular EU servers, and trust me I've seen a HECK of a lot of drama. I KNOW how cruel this game can get. My opinion is still the same. It should be changed to a zero restore policy. Sorry but if you delete your character that's the equivalent of detonating a nuke on said character. It ain't coming back. Recreate it and level it again. If I deleted my main character I'd be expected to do that.

I would Also Really appreciate it if you all refrain from making bigotry comments on this forum.

??? there haven't been any bigoted comments here?
