Do you want to play after Character Data Save?

[Vassteel1]

Yeah but the thing is, how long would that be fun. In theory its awesome but everyone would probably get tired of one shotting things after like a week. A good example I will give is the grand theft auto games. They always come with cheats that make you borderline invincible, and give you all the weapons which makes it fun to sit there and see how long you can last against the police every once in awhile, but how long does it take until that gets boring and you go back to doing the story and actually making progress in the game? With super stats and drop rates it would just be the same scenario except we won't have the option of going back to actually making any sort of progress. Is it really worth any sort of square enixes resources, no matter how minimal, when they could be working on the launch of 2.0 instead of doing that.

whats your point? you dont have one

its either play have fun or dont play at all

no one is forcing to to play if they decide to keep the servers.

Yeah i wanna play 2.0 beta, not 1.0

[Gramul]

I don't really see much point in doing so.

[Kenshiro0314]

Absolutely not.

If we're getting a world event, then sure. If not, no.

Gives me more reason to focus on my studies.

Assuming Nov 1~11 is a world special world event that closes out the 1.0 server story/setting, then I will only play until that's over. If there's not even that then I'm probably done after Nov 1. I see no reason to keep playing post Nov 11 though.

[Grim_Lion]

Nope, if the data isn't saved I think I'd rather play D3 and other stuff.

Run it like EVE Test Server? They take a mirror and that's your launch point, it is wiped at the end of the mirror. In this case when 2.0 goes live.

My question might be, how long do you think it will be before someone is screaming "I hate 2.0 give me a legacy server". You could nip it in the bud and implement one now.

- I support the "God mode" suggestion as well. if for no other reason than glorious youtube vids.

I don't see the point in keeping the servers up after the proposed November 11th date. I know he used the reasoning of the social aspect of the game, but there are plenty of other methods of communication outside of the game that people can use in the meantime.

I'm personally going to use the time between the 1st and the 11th to re-record all my cutscenes from 1.0 in HD so I can compare them to the new ones in ARR. Also, I thought there was going to be another lettered patch between now and the end of the game? There wasn't any mention of it in the producer letter so I'm guessing not...

Anyway, once I get done the things I want to accomplish before the servers go down, I can finally take the time to play some other games that have been on the backburner. Sleeping Dogs, maybe some Path of Exile and Diablo 3.

[Abnar]

no, I will don't play after the save date, and SE will have to start 2.0 ARR soon after that because we have no reason to wait without playing. Or maybe our caracters will be in the beta without loosing data of the beta, that can be great
