Scars Of Abyssea Preorder!

Ludoggy was so pleased with Vision of Abyssea that he just had to blindly purchase an add-on that might blow.

How much do you pay to go to a movie theater and be entertained for 1h30 - 3h?

Key word is 'Recently' because they are starting phase 3 in the next few days.

Well have fun in FF14, it's going to be the same lol.
If 10$ is a lot of money, get a job really =/

I don't know about EU minimal wage but I guess you can make £10 in 2 hours of work if you are a student.

2 hours of work for 3-4 months entertainement is pretty cheap in my book, but I guess you are cheap if that's not the case or just hating on the game. (And yet you are sold and probably a 60$ unfinished, rushed, buggy game that should still be in alpha phase at this stage and being released in 1 month)

>implying FFXI is dead.

I guess you have no idea on how long an MMO stay alive. Cool example Jaerik loves to point. Everquest 1 is 11 years old and it's still running and getting updates while everquest 2 is 6 years old and still running.

Also, I'm not delusional, FFXI will lose a great amount of players in september. What will happen? They will merge servers and there will be no issue?

It would be totaly shocking, it would have never happened before in MMO history nor would it be conceivable that FFXI, becomes free to play and an online store appears.

Never happened before and never will. Yes, FFXI will die slowly, like people said FFXI is dying 5 years ago, they'll keep on saying it's dying right now.

It's a fact FFXI is losing players, but it's also a fact they can play with 24 servers to merge and it's stupid to think the number of players playing a game matters when you don't interact with them because you aren't on the same server.

If FFXI had only 1 server with 2000 players. It'd be the exact same thing as if it had 30 servers with 2000 players in each. You can't interact with people on other severs in the game.

Bottom line is, you quit FFXI fine, just gtfo and be happy with your FF14 because "It's worth it".

I decided long ago that when XI finally shuts down, it will be the last MMORPG I ever play. Monthly fees to fuel what is as close to an addiction as can legally be attained is not fun, no matter how you cut it. So I will not be moving on to XIV. That said, I truly enjoy XI as it stands, and wish to enjoy everything it has to offer until that day it inevitably dies. So I'll be getting this once I get some spare money (school supplies and food killing my funds right now).

HNM is the meaning of FFXI, obviously. I don't know why people still camp most of them. But if they like that, that's their choice.

How will merging servers make people quit? I can see a couple people being very mad and rage quit at losing their name. Where should the players be for it to matter? That makes no sense.

I don't think FFXI will go F2P, but it's a possibility. A lot of MMO's now go F2P and give the option to buy stuff in an online store. That's very common lately.

So, you should just play for FF14 and forget about FFXI forums.

I completely agree with Avelle. 14 is bad. Really, really bad. SE needs to re-write some major game mechanics before I can see XI fans enjoying it. I'm sure plenty of XI folks will still get it/say its pretty good just because for some reason, newer = better. That said, I expect a major server population drop for about a month after 14's release, then people will come back to XI when it finally annoys them enough.

When beta testers stop playing b/c its a waste of their time that's saying a lot in my mind, and several of us did just that.

Beta is very very close to the final product, it's the phase where they debug, not trying to solve problems in the core of the game.

And I'll play XIV, laugh at people still playing a decrepit game, and use AH forums thank you.

Exactly. I'm not talking about bugs since that's a given for a beta release. Just pay your $60 and you'll see why we've been trash talking 14.

Nice to meet you pot. I'm kettle.

Hell I really do hope FF14 becomes a great game, but you are laughing at us for paying 10$ for an add-on that will be mostlikely as fun as the previous one and will obviously last at least 3 months minimum.

While you are going to pay 60$ (Or paid already) for something that shouldn't be in beta yet and being released in a month.

> Implying you aren't wasting your money
> Implying that the game will be amazing on retail when it's ***1 month before retail.
