Final fantasy xiv 1.23b server relaunch?

[Enkidoh]

Not to mention Yoshi himself already shot down that request long ago - it's impossible from a technical standpoint (something about SE completely deleted the underlying source code for 1.0 after it was shut down for the final time on December 31st 2012).

And as Lenneth said above, there actually is little to experience - much of 1.0's story has been redone as part of ARR's storyline anyway, and what hasn't has been already included, cannibalized or referenced has instead then been mostly decanonized or discarded, so there is very little that hasn't already been shown. I get it, 1.0 seems like a prequel to ARR (and it is in a way), but, speaking as a 1.0 player like Lenneth, you're not missing out on much, and there wouldn't be that much to play, frankly.

1.0 thoroughly deserved being taken back around behind the shed and being given two bullets behind the ear - it was a broken, unplayable mess that by 1.23 was passable and sort of playable, but still showed it's clay feet all too much. 1.0 is gone and is never coming back.
