What is/are Hamlet/Hamlet Defense?

No one knows what it was to be but a blurb in a "2011 version update", speculation leads to a Besieged/Campaign type of system where you defend a city.

To add to this "hamlet defense" battles were in an interview with Tanaka pre the game coming out. He said they were to be like besieged. Those of us who heavily followed ffxivcore,eorzeapedia, and zam read a lot of these articles, and it should be on one of the above, I'm too lazy to find it :[

Specifically, the Hamlets are the 6 outlying towns surrounding the 3 starter City-States.

apparently not.

I think the previous dev team left the game in such a state that they are having to rewrite massive portions of code, If that is the case then they probably have no idea when things will be ready, its never a good to give out information and time-lines if you can't hold to them.

As for the hamlet system it sounds like they have something better scheduled so I think waiting a bit longer for something potentially better is a good thing.

Change is indeed in the air. No doubt about that. How Golden Bazaar, Wineport, Quarrymill, and the other towns will fare ... who knows??

Demanding and asking/debating isn't the same. People are infact entitled to have different views on subjects like this.

A quick visit to certain MMORPG centric websites will very quickly let you observe the present, real world of how information is giving out to customers and also to upcoming customers of games still in development. Online gaming is a competetive market for game developers, and it would only be in SE's best interest so follow that trend and release some more specific info if they wish to entice people to pick up this game. I.e. people had no idea that patch 1.17 contained 20 mid-rank NM's instead of other hyped up features.

You can say that SE is not at fault for several people hyping future patches. But if proper information was given out even just 3-4 weeks in advance, a lot of the hype would dissipate slowly.

For every week that goes by, the outside world of this forum loses allot of interest, and the true test for this games future must be about getting new people to actually buy the game (or just to get some of the 600,000 that bought the game to come back). They won't if they think the game's dead.

That's my view on the subject.

Maybe they don't release info because their plans for the future are crap, and they know that if we knew their plans we would leave.

If that were the case the servers would be off. That is one of the mosy closed kinded posts i have ever read. We're beta right now the truth will be in the puddong when se decides to start charging, until then for us playing its wait see and play what we get. As well with everything coming out and the mmo market being so cut throat letting others also in development know what ur doing is suicide bc someone could steal ur idea and release it first.

I would suggest a little tact when posting
