Playing after 11 Nov Poll is up

[Zezlar]

I voted yes, simply 'cause it would be cool to log in and hang out with LS-mates, goof off, do fun stuff "just because". If it doesn't happen, no big deal. It'd be nice to have that option, though, just to kick around and have fun in "old Eorzea". And if others are interested in something like that, and the offer is on the table, then why not?

What I find rather shocking - though perhaps I shouldn't, knowing how incredibly ego-centric many MMO players are these days - is how easily and willingly some will refuse others an option, simply because *they* aren't personally interested in it.

"If I'm not interested in doing it, then no one else can do it either".

That pretty much sums up the attitude.

If you wouldn't personally log in, then you wouldn't personally log in. No big deal. That's your choice.

How exactly would it affect those of you who aren't interested in logging in, if others were?

Are you that eager to demonstrate how intolerant you are of others doing something you don't like? 'cause some of you are doing a spectacular job of it.

Ever heard that saying, "If you don't like the song, change the station?"

Well, if you don't like the idea of logging in after 1.0 ends... then don't log in. It really is that simple.

And please don't come back with all this nonsense about how "all effort and resources should go into 2.0" and all that. You aren't behind the scenes. You don't know what their circumstances are. You don't know what resources they have or how they have them allocated. So, just stop with the arm-chair expert opinions on "how Yoshi-P and the FFXIV team should conduct their business". If it weren't do-able or feasible, Yoshi wouldn't have opened up the possibility to begin with.

Here's a crazy idea... Stop imposing your "likes" and "dislikes" on others. Stop trying to dictate how others can or can't have fun, just because it doesn't fall in line with what you want. I know. I may as well be asking a number of you to gouge your own eyeballs out.

Not that I normally reply to people in these forums. Aren't you doing the exact same thing that you're telling people not to do? Everybody has their own reasons. We have to respect it and move on. If the servers stay up, they stay up. If they go down, then they go down.

I voted no. Let 1.X burn in a glorious fire and arise from the ashes as A Realm Reborn.

[daemian]

Devs already said their efforts will be focused on 2.0 so I voted yes ...cause even if I am not, probably someone else will want to keep playing.

[ShinigamiKayla]

the only people who will keep playing are people with unhealthy addictions who cant discern alternate reality from reality it self and will go into social withdrawals if the game is taken away from them o,O

[moeru]

September 6th - November 11th gogogo!

[Zumi]

I voted no, but after I thought about it should of voted yes. Personally I wouldn't play but if there's some people that want to, whatever floats your boat.

[Doctor_Jekyll]

So much no.

Not one iota of effort should be taken from ARR, nor one iota of Player Interaction.

If we have to go a month or so without FF then so be it, we will be chomping at the bit when it does release.

Cuz, y'know, people totally don't enjoy still playing the old client.
The utter hypocrisy is astounding.

[Monzcarro]

Voted no. Inevitably there will be people who don't realize their progress isn't being saved, and they'll throw a big fuss. Their story will be picked up by gaming news sites, and then suddenly everyone will think Square-Enix is deleting characters. Sure the truth will come out eventually, but how many people come back for the retraction?

It's a mess waiting to happen and that's the last thing this game needs right now.
