MODs: Cannot Log into Forum Because of Inactivity in FFXIV 1.0

[Pseudopsia]

I see Meatdawg has the problem as well. He posted on the blog. He was talking about that he last logged in on the day of the March. This march was November the 9th, at 10 PM EST.

Well we are still not sure if all these people kicked from the forum has an end date of march 31, 2013 on their ff14 service account. If not, then most of us shouldn't have to worry about anything. If so, then we will all slowly begin to vanish and the forum will whither away...

Subscription end date isn't the same as game inactivity. I paid a subscription to get legacy and didn't play the game for a few months. When I tried to log into the forum I got this error. What I had to do to get back into the forum was login to the game with my character. After a few days I was able to log back into the forum. However, since the game is down you cannot make your character active anymore.

This feature was to make sure that people posting on the forum were actually playing the game.

Yes but the reps said that the forum is working under a different system now. So I'm assuming it's working under subscription date otherwise what would be the point of adding an end date so far from september 2012... They also mentioned that everyone who had that end date would access to this forum, which also draws me to that conclusion...

I'm being very technical so I probably don't explain it well. There's two things that require you to be able to post on these forums.

1. Valid Subscription: This SE fixed.
2. In game character activity: This SE forgot.

If you read the rep response they don't talk about character activity.

Ah I see. I forgot we need an active account to use the forum and the lodestone. I guess them forgetting about in game character activity makes sense or it could be that they plan to get all of us to migrate to the beta forum so they can get more responses about the game...

So, are we all going to get knocked off within the next few days outside of the people that actually logged back into the game after the servers came up?

[Gramul]

I wonder if I can get to the 3000 mark before I'm kicked without simply spamming it.

All people with this issue identified their last login was before Nov 11. I haven't seen anyone who reported this issue who logged into the game when the servers came back up. Correction: Sasori Hisashi actually said he logged in before the servers went down for good, however he also said he had issues before.

I think what is happening is the closing of this forem. Beta Testing Forum will open next month. The new ARR forum is linked to the new ARR site. It is just a baby right now, with no players, but it's there. No point in having this old forum I guess. Though I hope it last until they open the Beta Testers Forum.
