Actually..now that I think about it, if they did lose the current playerbase, even a fraction it wouldn't matter, it would just make ARR that much better, especially if they got rid of the "MUST STACK BLMS!" people.

True. There are what? About 1k on each server just to guess. Could be more or less then that and I wouldn't be surprised either. If all of the current players left because of this character data save issue just like u say it would be better to have 2.0 non bashed by 1.0 veterans bad mouthing the game causing all the new comers to think twice about the game. Which by the is the last thing SE needs when 2.0 is released.

Its going to be a free playtime. Gives us a chance to keep in touch with friends (some of us have some). Gives them time to get everything perfect with the upcoming game. If they really wanted to they could shut it down, save the electric/hosting costs and focus on 2.0. But they're saying hey, while we transfer everything, would you guys still like to log on and talk to eachother? Thats the whole reason they're asking, because they're not going to make profit for the downtime

They just wanna get the switch right, and are offering something to appease at the side

Email, Instant Messaging, Telephone....

Email, Instant Messaging, Telephone....

You're kinda being silly here. Its the reason they are having a poll. Do people want to keep xiv up so they can basically have a world wide chat room open to them, vs seeking out a place to talk to multiple round the world friends at once. Its kind of the point of the poll.

This thread had nothing to do with that. It was some one upset things would not be saved.

Pointless thread, players who actually read have known about this since 2.0 was announced. In fact I'm pretty sure it's either in one of the LftP's, or one of the 2.0 PDF's that we got around the official announcement last year.

[Elexia]

Well I didn't think it was silly to figure people would talk to their friends outside of a video game...so we're basically asking SE to waste time and resources to keep up a game that for all intents and purposes serves no other purpose than what email/IM/calling people also does if we vote yes?
