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.

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.
