We've been talking about this in the Private section of the CKD boards. Im curious to see what other people on the server think?

I personally think it depends on the downtime. One week is fine, not many people are going to go out and get a new 59.99 game to play because they dont have FFXIV for a week.
However, you take this game down for 2-3 weeks and people are going to start looking for something to do. Some players will go back and play some wow, others will hop to new MMOs like Rift and DCU. I think we are going to lose a chunk of the player base if this goes over two weeks. Im happy with CKD knowing that all of us will be back regardless of the downtime, but the big picture concerns me.

Opinions?
