Request for a HARDCORE server!

[Abriael]

Not sure which thread bothers me more, this one or the 56 page thread in the Japanese section about people who want a separate server away from you guys.

Actually in that thread the vast majority of the posters is quite clearly against separate servers (which is quite surprising, in a pleasant way).

SE will begin to see the flow of their player base attending this hard core server. Possibly a majorit and possibly many others who have quit come back.

Lol. If you expect any more than a completely overwhelmed minority to be even slightly interested in such a server option, I'm afraid that there's a big delusion at play here.

Back to TERA again, TERA has also a pvp / pve server both with different content to suit their players needs. Why cant we have a hardcore/casual?

Because the TERA devs aren't hard pressed to squeeze every little bit of content and evolution they can from every little bit of development resources/time. The FFXIV devs are.

And because PvP and PvE both have a *Large* fanbase in the MMORPG market, making the options worthwile. Timesinks don't have that kind of fanbase. Ergo adding a "timesink server" isn't simply worth the development resources ad time it'd cost, slowing down the whole development process of the game.

Casual bassicaly would be a private server where everything is handed to you.

Hard core would be the classic FF11/Standard MMO expectations with the risk/reward

Those ideas of hardcore/casual are quite funny, not to mention completely detached from reality.
