It will give people another thing to do while staying in town.

What do you want exactly? Just something that will call out a browser from inside the game to be able to access official forums or a brand new in-game board with its own interface?

If you want the first thing, then yes for PS3 users because it would enable them to access forums while playing. For PC players to be honest, this wouldn't be that useful. We "should" (I hope) be able to ALT/TAB properly when 2.0 comes out, so we can simply post in officials forums.

However, if you want a brand new in-game board, that would require a lot of work for SE. It's not only about making a board, but also moderating it, meaning that tools will be needed for Mods/GMs/Reps to be able to act on the in-game board. A proper interface for players will be needed as well (all kind of filters, search and sort features...).

I like that Idea.

And to this:

Eh? Since when does it not work anymore? I always Tab out, since the Game started.

In full screen, you have never been able to, you get a direct x failure.

Also I don't think this is necessary, and I remember an interview which said they wouldn't have in game boards like this, that is what the lodestone was for

Use Windows Flip.


Yeah, but that Interview was long time ago and with the Changes coming in 2.0 and PS3 Release, its maybe a good addition. I dont mind if its not coming, but its a nice idea indeed.

The only issue are PS3 players however, will they be able to access the PS3 Web Browser with their game currently started? Not sure about that.

May be painful to have to log off/log on every time you want to access Lodestone/Forums. (I know they can have a PC/Smartphone next to their PS3 as well, but I think it's always better if all features can be accessed with one platform).

If you have nothing to do in game, go log out, and clean your room

Or else no dinner for you!

scrap it? who said that?

FFXI has also a Forum and through POL another "Message Board" with Chatrooms and stuff ( has it still i guess? ), so why not in FFXIV?... and dont go like "this is not FFXI".. of course it is not, but Final Fantasy Titles always have Stuff from previous titles in it, so that argument doesnt count.
