You did it, Skiros. You was right all along.

Hop over to fresh new 10/10 games like Forspoken

Hasn't Forespoken kind of...totally crashed and burned, though?

I feel like this guy is trying to get me to buy <insert latest digital currency that's "about to go big"> or something... <_<

EDIT:

You have no idea what maintenance mode means. But I’m sure this post will go on for pages as it supports this forums favorite activity - complaining.

This is terrifyingly accurate.

EDIT2:

Speaking of, we should all go play that. It's even about to be on sale!

(Or is it already?....) ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯

Wait what?

I wouldn't mind getting into that game if it was still group focused (since it has the old school MMO elements for it) and if the Play Online system...uh...didn't exist. And I hated the "Go get Trusts, level up, then come and talk to us again" mentality of some of the playerbase (not always harsh, but it seemed the general consensus was "go level yourself solo with your Trusts then play 'the real game' once you hit level cap"), which kind of put me off from doing it since I like games like that for the multiplayer aspect. Apparently it's why people love private servers of the game...

Make a new launcher and have a bundled $20-$25 sub for FF11 + FF14 and I'd be all over that, though.

See, here's the problem. FFXI has been in maintenance mode for years, but it still gets meaningful updates.

Eh, with the changing of producers and him having the developers basically use FF11 as a secondary task so they can get experience in other games not sure how much longer there will be meaningful updates after this year.

I dunno, I think it'll probably continue for at least a couple more years. FFXI remains lucrative for the moment, and its remaining playerbase is quite dedicated. They're also rather clever when it comes to finding unique ways to kill stuff or just break the game in general, something developers tend to appreciate when it comes to letting new people get hands on experience.

Wasnt the latest update supposed to be the last one? Pretty sure its in actual maintenance mode now.

This right here.

They don't update content people want, only Maintenace mode mob swaps for Ambuscade. There was a damn near 100 page outreach from the players to update Monstrosity, and they said "Nope" LOL

I mean, the game is 21 years old. Its a miracle it's still active at all.
