Will you be back?

well who stayed in this (partly!) horrible game (server latency, graphics engine which just can display about 20 peops at once, instable framrate) for that long .. is interested enough to come back afterwards.

on the contrary if they not switched off the server... if they wouldnt have developed a new FFXIV mostly everyone of us have been left much time ago. the biggest reason (in our deepest inside) why we stayed is because of 2.0. and not of 1.0. (although it got updated)

and it would be silly to not keep an eye on 2.0. then? wouldnt it? 2.0. is one of the major reasons why we moved on in 1.0.

Hey, look! A doom and gloom post, and not even that smart of one.

Everyone's gonna get at least a free month when ARR launches. Downtime will not factor at all, nor it should.

There may be a negligible percentage of people that will just give up the chance to play a new AAA game for free (however completely nonsensical that may be), but it will be, as mentioned, negligible.





lolthirtypercent.

Anyone actively posting right now better bloody well be coming back, or they should just piss off...

[AniseTatlin]

I'll be back.


...Just going to try to finish all these other games i have laying around while waiting for that alpha invite.

who would suffer all 1.0 and not play 2.0

I think you'd have to be insane to play 1.0 and not even try 2.0. However, it's not being crazy if someone played 1.0 quite a bit and then didn't bother going forward with 2.0 after trying it out. We were all propelled forward by our desire to see FFXIV change into a game that didn't suck and the fact that our progress will be transferred over. If 2.0 fails to live up to a person's expectations, then there really is nothing left to keep that player going at that point.

pretty sure we are supposed to get a free month of play at the beginning of 2.0 too

I'll be back for certain. I know a lot of hardcore players who will be returning.

The promise of 2.0 is so strong that most people are just painfully waiting. The real worry at this point is how they keep people interested.

I'll be honest. While I don't usually allow myself to be swooned by CGI because it's normally not indicative of gameplay, the End of an Era trailer has solidified my interest, and no matter what games come out between now and then, I WILL return, as I'm sure many others will.
