Time to take a break I think (for me)

[reality_check]

I think the FFXIV community has been in general pretty resilient but let's just take a look at the problems we've put up with since we could make our characters:

Open Beta: Error 3k, error 90k. Lockouts, server downtime

Early Launch: Error 1k, friends being scattered all across servers, login times that were HOURS long

Launch: No AFK timer, battling the login screen just to get on, population caps at 5k per server with thousands of players being locked out, locks on character creation, more server downtime, server lag, suspension of sales preventing friends from joining (many of whom never looked back)

1 month after launch: Duty finder taking HOURS to enter, more server instability (the lag today has been unbearable,) PS3 AK bugs, and no server transfers

All this combined with the following glaring issues with the game: awful net code, PS3 crashes/freezes, 0 priority on loading models, 0 GM/CS support, and no RMT prevention


I've got my fingers crossed SE. I'll be back to see if this stuff is fixed. Your game is amazing but it has currently lost all of its appeal for me.
