Remove the One time character restore rule!

[ShigureKosaka]

Look, The GM's Tell you if you have a suggestion to post it on the forums and it will reach the right eyes, That's What I did. Regardless of what your opinion or anyone's for that fact is. I feel this is gonna be a problem later down the road as the game gets older and it needs to be addressed before it ends up costing the company money. And When I say Money I mean lets say for example, 7 years down the road we have alot of people quit and maybe a few numbers delete there character and want to make a return. If its a limit on the restore its gonna make the person who would rather have a character restored then spend 30-40$ on a jump potion and then maybe more for the story jump one as well and its gonna make SE loose some money that they could be pocketing for another expansion or a FF18 or what ever. My point is its gonna cost them later down the road.

And I respectfully disagree with this. The money lost from it would be minute in my opinion, since I don't think it'll affect as many people as you think. Not only that, but also in my opinion, the time taken away from handling current issues like harassment (which happens more than you think), would push MORE players away from the game. Yes, they do tell you to post the suggestions on the forums and it will reach the right eyes. Doesn't mean they'll add it in. Only reason the Chinese/Korean outfits got added was because there was huge demand for it, and there was money to be made from it. Here, there's neither. There's only a tiny handful of people wanting this, vs everyone else saying "Nope".

In fact there is money to be made from a change of this policy, In fact if they did change there policy on there one time restore and in fact charged a small fee for it. It would bring in more money for SE so this change isnt useless or a waste of money.

Jump potion: automated process, highly in demand because a lot of people who are starting the game want to join friends/the majority in the endgame, process can be guranteed

Restoring character data: Has to be done manually, data has to be stored somewhere, back ups have to be made and saved, process might not be a 100% depending on the latest back up (I've also read several stories about people having issues after they got their characters restored - missing job crystals, items etc.), most people dont delete their character, so there wouldnt be a market for this

[ShigureKosaka]

No it's not automated yet, As its not in the game for us yet thus still being worked on. and Highly in demand is a lie, So many voiced there opinions over that and didn't want them for fear of it breaking the game. But SE said there coming get over it, There were more against the jump potions then for it. They can easily spend a few Thousand on making a character restore on the mogstation automated, Like there doing with the jump potions.

And how else do you think its going to work if not automated? By simply checking of all the quests that you have to do and raise your character level to 60? Thats nothing they'll do by hand, right? Because it doesnt has to be done by hand since its going to be the same for every single character - restoring a character is a totally different process, its tricky, data can be lost etc.

And as much as I dont like the jump potion: a lot of people are probably stop playing or arent picking up the game because they wont be able to play with their friends for the 2-3 weeks they need to play through the story and reach endgame.

Most people don't delete their characters when they decide to stop subscribing unless they're trying to quit for addiction reasons and want to wipe out temptation. Only SE has the numbers, but I don't imagine there's anywhere near enough people randomly deleting their characters more than once to assign the storage and manpower needed to make the changes you're requesting. As for the Chinese and Korean outfits, yes, quite a few people were asking for those. So far it's just you on this one.

edit: Apologies, you and a couple others that liked the initial suggestion.

[ShigureKosaka]

Yes Its me alone so far, But I am doing what the GM's always say. "IF you have a suggestion you would like to see in the game please post it in the forums and we will look into it" So thats what I am doing, As stated before your opinion is really needed as this was a suggestion ment for the company not anyone else.

Community feedback from everyone else on your suggestion is also vital and taken into account by SE. Saying our opinion isn't really needed is just going to make SE more likely to discard your idea is more likely to make SE throw it into the trash. I know if someone posted an idea and said "nobody else's input is needed" because they all disagreed with the OP, I, and I am someone who has done software development before, would say "Nope! Forget it!" and you wouldn't get your wish.

Also Look at how many voiced against the Jump potions and Yet Yoshida said there coming get over it. So regardless of people disagreeing it could in fact happen.

There was BIG money to be had there. Here, there's virtually none to be made. And I daresay more to be lost by the time taken away FROM other GM calls because of this. Also, nobody said "Your opinion isn't needed" just because they were for/against jump potions. Discussion was a lot more open there.

[ShigureKosaka]

There is money to be made from a mogstation feature charging a fee for a character restore, No one but SE as another stated knows how many people delete there characters or request restores so you nore I can claim Right or wrong on that, But the fact is this change and feature wouldnt cost much let alone effect the gms anymore then a normal gm call already does.
