Everyone say it with me....ABANDON GAME!!!!

[Jadi]

You know, if everybody who have said they're going to quit in the last week actually kept their word, we probably wouldn't be having these server problems right now. As for me, I'm going to stick around for a while. SE has talked about what the problems are, how they are going to correct them, and roughly how long it will take. It will be fixed when it's fixed. If I take my car in for repairs and a needed part is out of stock, no amount of cussing the mechanic will make the delivery truck arrive any quicker.

Your my new hero dude. Well said.

I'd tell the bitchers to leave.. It's not a dead or dying game because SE has all the customers they ever wanted or expected and then some. The game's only problem right now is EVERYONE WANTS TO PLAY IT. lulz

It's like saying a sold out concert is a failure. It's absurd.

Not everything in life is easy, or fair, and very seldom do plans actually work out as intended. I've seen so many threads in the General forum this week from people who act like this is the most hardship they've ever experienced. Well, if that's the case then these people are going to have very unhappy lives ahead of them. Life is full of disappointment and missed expectations. Sometimes you can make the most of a bad situation and break even, other times you just have to accept the loss and chalk it up to experience.

If you want to leave, then do so, but go with peace. Don't burn any bridges behind you. You own the game already, so come back in a month or two and see how things are. If you still don't like it, then you're only out a few dollars and some of your time. Money is replaceable, but time isn't, so don't waste too much of the latter doing something you don't enjoy.

To everyone who is staying, maybe I'll see you around sometime. Good hunting!

Its been three days, the only time I've had off of work in a long damn time and after the partying and socializing all I've wanted to do was to log in some game time so I could mellow out a bit. but my server has been completely full since Sunday and its really starting to bug the living shit out of me. They need to restart servers once every night so the AFK guys can get booted. Cause seriously; if the only thing in your life is FFXIV then you probably need to find another hobby.

This is the only reason I am still here.

Well to all the impatient people good riddance. To the main problem... How does SE launch without an AFK system and small world caps especially on legacy servers where they pretty much had an idea that they would be most populated.... Their solution, turn off character creation for nearly every server... that is just idiotic. that said if you quit a game in the first week of launch your someone we don't want in the community anyway. Square, get your act together.

to be fair SE have NOT been great thus far. This is a damn disaster. If I gave my customers this level of service (as in it doesn't work) I would be fired. "Great" would be a) I buy game b) i install game c) i play game. Instead i just gave them money to be able to look at a 1017 error all day. Someone should be fired for their lack competence. The game is quite fun, they got that right, but their network and server teams need to get new jobs. Ever since the merger with Enix this company has gone down hill. Looks to me like they may have finally reached the bottom (and we all know what rolls down hill...)

I'm with you. It sucks that I paid 60 bucks for a game I can't play. Not a great sign. I guess we'll have to wait for A Reborn Realm - Reborn for proper game play.

[Yoli]

Yes, it sucks, but I can't think of a launch for a MMO that didn't have some sort of issues that people didn't complain about. At least they are committed to fixing the issues unlike some launches I've seen. If one week makes you want to leave then good riddance. I survived 1.0, I'll survive this.

[meta69]

Don't be such a crybaby.

Couldn't log in? Didn't you read the news? The numbers exceeded their expectations. They didn't want this. Most big name MMOs had this particular problem, which means they are/were good enough to attract so many players around the world. Plus, they have at least given words on the fixes, ETA and ALSO adds on 7 more days on you first month Free sub. Not that they've been quiet about it like some game publishers who kept ignoring their own customers. The fact that the game is fun is worth all the trouble which explains why more and more people are gawping in front of their PCs / PS3s to log in all day, including you. There's nothing wrong with the game except for this particular problem, which let me remind you again, they are trying their best to fix it.

Have a little bit of patience. If not, you lot should just stick to your Ponies and Friends or whatever.

I haven't been able to log onto the game itself for 4 days now since the client on my end was being retarded and now i cant get on any servers. I just Wish i can actually play the game before my 1 month free is over before i have to start paying.
