Like a gated community, it would also come with the equivalent of an HOA. A bunch of self-appointed players who would create all kinds of stupid rules dictating what mounts you can use, gear you're allowed to wear, what you can have in the yard of your house and so on..

Seems like an improvement over the freakshows out there!

I mean, I've spent probably thousands in the Mogstation over the years, but I don't need some elite status to rub it in people's faces.

Not sure the purpose of this? Oh look, the servers for Eorzea's rich and famous? NO THANKS.

We already have premium servers. Its called a monthly sub. And lets not pretend that such a server wouldn't come with additional perks, that most players would want. Thus leading them to buy into the premium server and reducing its exclusivity. Then premium servers become normal servers that you just have to pay more for. No Thanks.



~~Good Luck.

Necro'ing discussions that are still relevant I understand.

Necro'ing this... why? I'm guessing you saw Theodric's post about hoping no one would necro his old threads.

[ErryK]

Do we have a new troll? Cuz first the immersive walking sequences thread and now this? Mama, it's a lot...

[Dogempire]

That sounds both super elitist and like a super empty server to me.

Why are you baiting so hard?

I think it would be wonderful if there were special servers that were only open to players willing to pay a premium fee to gain entry. For the sake of convenience they would be attached to the existing datacentres but world visit would be disabled for players who have not paid the entry fee.
I was thinking that it would also be a neat touch to name the servers themselves after the more opulent regions of the game world such as Kugane, Eulmore and Ul'dah.
It would be an excellent way for players with a disposable income to better identify each other and mingle within their own micro version of FFXIV's great community.

You say it would be wonderful but do not provide examples as to why. Why would it be wonderful? What would these players, with their extra disposable income, be paying for? Why would they want to pay a premium fee to play on these special servers? How does creating a gated online community help increase sales or improve the profitability, if there are no benefits?

The game already offers additional features such as extra retainers, name changes, appearance changes, and optional items from the Mogstation for those with disposable income to spend on. You can always create your own exclusive fellowship, FC, or a LS to have your own gated community without even having to pay extra.

If you have not thought it through, then it is merely a whim and not a serious request by any means. Either that or you only want to see the reactions of those who would be excluded.
