That must be it!

It can't be to minimize server queries and require designing query paths to calculate the number of players in instanced servers at all!

That wouldn't be pragmatic in the least!

At the time several gaming sites (Kotaku and similars) were polling the game daily and posting non stop the counts. I witnessed that because at the time I did read the site and I also followed the XIV related stories at the time.

So it was likely a response to that harassment by some "irresponsible" journalism "gaming media".
And that a player can do nothing, beneficial to the game, with the data so why have the feature? It's not that empowering when you have a plethora of instances that pull from all servers. I think that could be a major conceptual hurdle for many 11 players.

If you play 14 and consider the encounters, the battle system is specifically designed to minimize server exchanges.

Even for lay-people, SE's comments about limitations of inventory increases should have alerted players that these are important considerations for content implementation.

Not to change the topic but I think those clamoring for more XI might consider likening these events to a TV show, a movie series, or any other entertainment media changing platform or ceasing production.

When the actors aren't interested in playing the roles, the author is not interested in writing the books, the studio doesn't see financial reason to continue the project, can you put aside your fandom to acknowledge that change is not always "bad?"

When that boyfriend or girlfriend broke up with you, did you cling to them crying "it's too soon!"? Or did move on recognizing that the universe does not center upon your whim?

It's not wrong to try to fight for what you want. But it's certainly wise to consider the magnitude of what you want and it's proportion to your fight.

Perhaps some are more motivated by the fear of unhappiness than the pursuit of happiness itself.

I've tried XIV and couldn't really stay with it. That being said, I want it to do well. I'd like for it to be successful. Perhaps at some point they will add something to it that makes me want to play, perhaps adding blu, but a lack of gearswapping was a huge hit against it for me.

If SE can't be convinced they should keep XI in development, then I may end up playing neither.

Why do people care how many are playing XIV? The game isn't failing lol, but at the same time the large numbers mean ***when the game is mostly single-player to begin with.

Unless you work for SE marketing or are arguing for budget increases to corporate.

Half the game are instances which pull from a group of servers, the overworld content is largely throwaway or involve a tight core of 8. All the people playing around you might as well be NPCs.

It already has failed, financially anyway. Hence why it has a terrible cash shop and a subscription, they are double dipping like mad.



They spent a truck load of money on it, twice (stand back SWTOR) and it's only managed FFXI peak subscriber numbers (a game that cost a paltry 12 million to create). These kind of sub numbers could of been reached easily with an engine re-write of FFXI (which would of cost far less). They wanted a big time MMO with FFXIV and they did not get it, Square are not a company happy with 2nd best and they never have been.

They keep trying to fool people into thinking it's a massive success (I laugh everytime I see the registered player nonsense) when it has pretty low subscriber numbers, numbers that on almost every other mmo that cost anywhere near as much forced f2p. The only reason it's going to keep running is to save face for Square for failing twice and the FF brand.

If you think FFXIV is actually a big success then it's because you want to believe it. Same as when you were a kid and wanted santa clause to be real.
I shouldn't feed a troll :(

You want to pay their bills too while you are at it?

Cause I'm sure that a company who has a profitable product and service will randomly stop providing that product and service just for kicks.

What a PoS.

Just like in RL you all have one thing in common.
You are all going to die.
Taru's first of course...they are easier for servers to digest.

Why do you hate 14 so much? I'm ready for 11 to end when content stops in November it's time but I don't hate it, i'm even logged into it right now but you have a seething hatred for 14 it's strange.

Don't get me wrong I don't and won't play 14 either but that's not because i have a hated for it, it's because I now think mmos in general are a complete waste of time.

I do hate FFXIV, it's a common MMORPG like GW2, TERA, AION, WOW etc ( I've tried them, so don't tell me it's not, same HUD, Same shortcuts etc )
I loved FFXI cuz it's really different. So I was hoping something better than the usual MMO for XIV.. :p
