What are the chances of a legacy server with 1.23b that would reset periodically (every year)?
Yes I know that was a "failure" and the game was once given a chance to be revived, but that was back when it was fresh in the current players' minds.

This, instead, would be for people who've joined FF14 more recently and are curious what it was like (at its best), and because we're all aware that it had issues, our expectations would be low and just "for fun". It'd be great if it was like a temporary server and based on how many achievements were acquired, it'd give real rewards to claim when the server rest. Think of it like a PVE version of "seasons".

Some players are worried additional Wardrobe space or Glamour Plates will be purchased through Mogstation, can you briefly confirm or deny this?

Keep in mind its 37 (service accounts) FC not 1. Granted they are affiliated with each other but the plots were relocated and not purchased with 4.2 update.

Is it really that hard to tie one house to one IP address? You change the rules, they work around them, screwing over the rest of the homeless community. Or how about, just changing the entire housing situation period? It's ridiculous, and you've already deleted one home of mine for taking a break, something Yoshi P encourages us to do on the often! I'm sorry I got sick and had to live in a freaking hospital for a few months? HA!

Man, I wonder about the thought processes both players and the devs have about the housing issues a lot.

Absolutely, ridiculous and absurd.

I can answer that now. It's pretty much impossible. ISPs routinely change their customers IPs (particularly residential), plenty of households have more than one legitimate player, and a lot of players use a VPN to speed up their connection, or for security/privacy reasons. So the technical answer is no - it needs to be per service account.

Please remove party requirements from the diadem. You can die of old age trying to get into it.

Is there any chance that you could look into integrating mouse over spells/actions more effectivly?
Currently we have to write macros to use mouse over features and because of this we are unable to queue spells/actions in the same way we would with regular ones.

Mouseovers are a great quality of life feature, but because of the inability to queue your spells/skills they can become ineffective at higher levels of play.

Are there any plans to be able to take our Squadron Members out as a companion so we can have something else other than a Chocobo?

Can Housing restrictions be retroactive, please? People who abused the system before is still owning too many houses for themselves.

Are there still plans to give us the armor that our character did wear in the grand tournament in Ishgard? (Without any job restrictions)
