Letter from the Producer XLI

[Abriael]

Nope, his statement was regarding how XI took EQ and felt that they should do the same thing with WoW, and the evidence is at your finger tips. He stated this because gamers and developers have said they consider WoW the global standard of MMOs now because of how Blizzard streamlined certain aspects. Whether you agree or not, these are words said throughout the past decadeish.

His statements indicate a quality standard, not a conceptual standard.

So in other words, every developer that states they should be aware and observe their competition (including SE) were incorrect?

It's funny how hard you try. You don't need "other words". If you can't counter what people say in its original form, simply don't try, instead of warping it.

Developers NEED to observe their competition. That has nothing to do with "making more of a standard game".

Everything shown so far they're observing the competition very closely.

And keeping their own flavor and concepts very relevant despite the mantra you chant every day.

What's up with this thread...?

Okay guys, take it outside please.

It's why this forum NEEDS a private message system, seriously. >_<

Save the "like other MMOs" argument for one of the other countless threads. This thread is for commenting on the producer letter and giving feedback on the game, NOT speculating the contents of notes exchanged over dinner.

We really need a PM system... omg you two just hit the ignore button or jump on AIM or something. Make your OWN thread and argue. Just stop hijacking other peoples threads with your arguments.

Well they sure hit my ignore button! both of them! And while they may say they don't care what I do. I know others will follow suit so we don't "read" their drivel! And I won't have to listen to them say how much they don't care I ignored them!
The feelings mutual. I normally don't say I ignore ppl, but this is my mark in the sand saying no more and to STOP! Oh and suggest others do the same.

You get all the fresh cookies for that response

So anyway, where were we?

Oh right, it looks amazing! Thank you Yoshi-P and devs for all your hard work!

I don't even know what race I wanna play first! >.< I might have to try out a new race for each stage of beta! SO excited.

I'm still wondering if anyone else noticed the HUGE Ifrit.

Hello everyone!

Below is a bit of information straight from the man himself, Yoshi-P.

As I mentioned in the letter, from phase 3 all of the character creation aspects will be in; however, even now we really can’t make up our minds on character creation lol.
(For the screenshots we put in this letter we decided on them by a ratio of males to females, but perhaps next time we will show off Elezen females.)

I’ll be increasing the frequency of my letter, so please look forward to the next one.
