Thank you, SE

I've been trying to log in for a good 2 hours now, and you have finally made me realize something. Amidst all the errors of 2002s and 1017s, it has made me realize the subliminal meaning you have been trying to convey. It was about time I stop sitting on my bottom, trying to log in just to play the game for a while, and get up and do something of more importance and/or more productive. Finish homework, catch up on studies, go out for a while.

So I'd like to thank you SE, for making me realize that the endless streams of errors and the hours spent trying to log in are just a metaphor for things I shouldn't be trying to do, and instead, make the already boring school life I have bloom with the beauty of not being able to play a game I've been looking forward to for so long now.

was this even necessary with this thread up: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...n-Issue-Update

I agree with the OP.

Best part is they are "considering" giving people extra time from now, instead of giving people extra time starting after all the issues are resolved, as if spending another 7 days trying to log in is fun somehow. Better go do something else and play games that actually work than staying here waiting for a chance to play, and that will also help decrease the load. So everyone wins.

Personally if I can't play soon I'll just move on and maybe come back someday if they have another free trial campaign after the issues are resolved, because there's no chance I'll pay a sub until I can actually see if the game is worth the time.

It's as if you didn't even look at the link right above your post and in the big sticky section at the top of General Discussion: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...n-Issue-Update

TL;DR? They're fixing it and it'll be better Wednesday and on.

They can give any dates they want, and they have given people plenty of those, but the real question is simply whether or not I'll still be interested in playing by then.
