Post-Dalamud Messages from Yoshi-P!

There was a poll about whether or not players want to keep playing after the final save. More than 30% wanted the servers to remain online even if the progress doesn't carry over to ARR, so that's what they're going to do.

You can read about it here.

I remember that, but it's over now isn't it?

No, those last few days after the final save had nothing to do with the poll.
The Mor Dhona battle and city invasions would've happened either way - it was part of the story after all.

[...] And so, a few days after the servers go down on November 11th (00:00 PST), we’re planning to bring them back up.

Heads up! We rewrote the post from Yoshida in regards to the hints about the true nature of Dalamud with help from the Localization team! Thanks to them, we have a much clearer understanding of the important aspects of the post, so give it another look.

Thanks for expanding on the lore stuff, that made things a little more clear.

Repoen the servers? You mean we'll be able to play the game again soon? I thought the alpha and beta tests were currently being done? So confused... @.@

1 of the main features of ARR is the fact that the game will be played on servers specifically designed for the new game. As such, all the testing is being done on the new servers. They will continue to use the old, crappy servers for Ver 1.0 so there should be no interference with testing. 2 different servers for 2 different games. Hope this explains.

A little bit I suppose. However, if nothing will be save I doubt many ppl would log on to play it either way. Didn't the play period after the final save ended Nov. 11? ^^;

Keep up the great work! (Here's to praying I get an Alpha/Beta invite!)

Reopening the servers would make things awkward..

[Hohenheim]

Please don't reopen the servers

Yo, Camate.

When tarnslating dates, try to not use the XX/XX format. I read 11/1 and thought 11th of Jan.

I'm not trying to say the Americans do it wrong, I'm just suggesting writing out the month's name to avoid confusion in future.

I would like to change my forum name if you don't mind. Can we do that anytime soon? I didn't realize it was going to be permanent till after my friend used my account to access the forum page and then bought the game later on because he couldn't wait for the PS3 version to come out. ^^;

If the concept about ARR is about rebirth, shouldn't we be given the option of being reborn all together basically a "second chance/life"? Character appearances, character name changes, forum name changes, etc. I should have sent a twitter to ask about this for the Live Producer Letter... ><

Please respond back, thank you~ ^^
