Hi Everyone
We have hit the one month mark already!!!! I hope you have enjoyed your time in Eorzea as much as I have. The server queues are virtually non-existent, and the annoying log in bugs a (hopefully) distant nightmare. We now have more information on upcoming patches, as communicated in the last live letter.
The main thing is that now we can all successfully log in, and play during whichever timezone we choose to play in! Character creation is slowly resurfacing on Excalibur, and digital copies of FFXIV are currently back on sale, allowing new players to join us.
There are still bugs, like lag spikes in duty finder, and various other anomalies, but overall the technical difiiculties seem to be getting sorted.
We plan to have an officer's meeting very soon to discuss the live letter content, and future plans going forward. We have a better idea of who is going to be with us for the long haul. Most games lose some players during the first few weeks, who decide the game simply is not for them, and FFXIV is no exception. On the plus side, we seem to have gained more than we have inactives, so that is great news.
If anyone has any burning issues they would like us to discuss at the next officer's meeting, please post here.
Keep it constructive, and if you have problems, try to suggest solutions as well, so we know where you are going with your ideas.
We plan to test the waters with the odd guild event, discuss player housing, post updates, and a guide for those newly hitting 50 to give some direction, if players want that info.
I would also like your feedback as to the game and what you like/dislike about it. Do you see yourself playing it in a month's time?
Post away!
