Communication Request

[Blaize]

Failed to log in? Is not participating in a beta considered a failure now? I thought that beta participation was optional, not a requirement for anyone who played 1.0.

Again, another person jumping up and down creating a scene not knowing whats being spoke of.

All you had to do was log in on the Lodestone, no need to play Beta, DL anything, do anything other than LOG IN AND PICK A SERVER on a Website.

If you chose to ignore this, and by this I mean, Emails and also common knowledge to anyone who played V1 would have known would be happening at some point before Phase4.

Forgive me, but if in fact you are unable to provide the basics in common sense and reading skills, anyone who blames SE for them (the player) not picking their server in the time alloted actually needs nothing more than a slap in the face with Titan's sweaty Jock!

Lets face it, you can use the forums to read and complain, how was it so intellectually hard to grasp doing this during the Beta phases, I mean, you claim to care about playing the game, you cared that much you couldn't be bothered to read any info provided to you?!

1.0 players are far from the only ones in this situation. Worlds filled up. People couldn't create characters on them. Their options were limited by service restrictions, and some were only eligible to join JP servers. Others had friends from 1.0 who didn't watch the FFXIV twitter during the game's several month hiatus for the ninja notice about transfers only being available in the middle of beta, months before launch. Those people had to choose between playing alone on NA servers, or playing with their friends on JP servers, assuming they were lucky enough to buy the game before sales were halted, and create their accounts before the rest of the masses filled everything up. Yes, I'd call these service issues.

Agree or disagree however, it's kind of hard to justify the lack of equal communication to all players.

Most of this is agreeable, however the "Ninja" update, C'mon, if you played 1.0 it was common knowledge you was going to be able to pick a server Around or before P4 of Beta began. I'm sorry if you missed the bazillion threads before 1.0 went down and the many interviews afterwards, but ignorance is by your own doing (whoever the players are who did this maybe or maybe not you personally). I got emails telling me, I also saw it on the lodestone for weeks with this info, I also saw it on OTHER gaming sites. I mean really, it was pretty hard to miss unless you was stranded somewhere in the middle of nowhere eating Faeces and Distilled Urine to survive!

But now your changing your comments more towards new players, whereas your original post was in regards to a V1 who missed Transfer window blaming SE. Which is it, a New player or a lazy V1 player? Both have VERY Different stories to tell and the only one with justifyable blame falling on SE is a New player, lazy V1 player who fails at reading skills deserves no sympathy if they put their laziness on others as blame.
