Hey guys,

A friend of mine asked me to make this post because of something he's curious about, and frankly, I'm curious about it too.

He used to play until 3 months ago, he got busy with college and decided to stop playing until he's completely done (he's studying abroad right now).

He's a legacy member and been playing for 2 years. But because he want to completely focus on getting good grades, he won't be able to log in the game for like a year and a half, or two years. (And that's good for him in my opinion, by then the game will be completely different, much more content, new classes and jobs, new weapon, larger community..etc)

He says he will keep supporting the game and paying the monthly fee, he just won't be able to log in, and he's worried in 2 years he will face problems upon returning to the game.

So here are some questions that concern any player who has circumstances and won't be able to join 2.0 right away.

As far as the name change goes, we are currently doing everything in our powers to make sure we are able to meet your expectation.

Please let us know if you have any other feedback.
1- Will returning players have this one-time chance to change the appearance, race, and gender of their characters, when they log in for the first time a few months later? Or will there be a time limit?

2- What will happen to the data of the players who don't log in for a long time (Like in my friend's case: 2 years)? Assuming they will keep their accounts active. Will they be thrown into a random server, or they will still have the chance to choose a server?

I agreed to make this post because I do believe FFXIV:ARR will survive and be much better in 2 years, a totally different game with a great community and entertaining content.

PS: If you don't think the game will survive that long, you're not welcome in this post.
