I'm not entirely sure what this is about, but apparently tomorrow, Wednesday November 21st, 2012, they're going to turn the servers back on with a slight roll back to patch 1.23b.

I suppose this was announced, but this is the official announcement from the lodestone: http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl/...4dfae14661

Here are some interesting points from the post about some aspects of the game:

Increase in anima recovery rate
Reduction of all gear repair costs to 1 gil
Chance to obtain job-specific weapons on login for players who logged out in an inn room
Relaxed requirements for participating in "Â€ÂœBowl of Embers (Extreme),"Â€Â and for undertaking the quests "Â€ÂœTo Kill a Raven"Â€Â and "Living on a Prayer"Â€Â

The plan was, if 30% or more people were interested in still playing the current incarnation of 1.0, then they'd bring the servers back up a few days after they went down and everything was done and dusted. Now, they'll keep tabs on the server activity, and so long as it stays above a certain point they'll keep them up and running until ARR. Not sure what'll happen after that point.

Sorry for the double post, but I'd like to add that nothing we do will be carried over to ARR/2.0. It's just a nice offer from SE to allow us to continue playing for free until the new game comes out. :3

Yep. This was announced previously after the last player survey. That's why I've been saying for a month now that 'when the servers come back up I'm going to..' Tongue

Eternal Darkness · **11-20-2012, 03:15 PM**

OHHHHH!!! Ok, so this is what they were talking about on keeping the servers online after the shutdown. See, I thought that's what last week was all about, you know, fighting the empire on the Carteneau Plain's and what-not. Ok, I'm not so confused anymore :p

Making new accounts is still a no-go, ja?

Deirdre · **11-20-2012, 03:30 PM**

I am probably not going to log in, maybe just to peek in but infrequent. Too much else to do now like draw and edit my wiki.

Aysun · **11-20-2012, 03:33 PM**

I just want to watch cutscenes and compile NPC dialogue/info for the wiki.

Deirdre · **11-20-2012, 03:38 PM**

OH YAH AND TAKE REFERENCE SCREENSHOTS
I will not likely be RPing in the game though. Doing a compile of all the cutscenes is a good idea too.
*ponders*

I have some video footage I'd like to record for a fun little side-project I'm working on. But mostly my sentiment mirrors Deirdre's.

Eva's kind of gone poof into the aetherial rift by now, and I'm not really a huge fan of retroactive RP since it has a habit of changing timelines and such, so if anything we might pop on as an alt and play around a bit if there's any open RP going on or anything. I admit it might be an interesting opportunity for the folks who are aging their characters five years to RP out interactions and such. Smile

But for now we're playing through some newer and classic console games and I'm getting back into drawing again so kind of spending a lot of time with that. But if there's some non-canon event, or something we can bring our alt to that would be fun, we're all for that~

I assume everything is going to be as it was at the end of 1.23 with Dalamud still hanging menacingly in the sky and all that?

Eternal Darkness · **11-20-2012, 06:45 PM**

This does provide for an opportunity to get some footage for a project. I had one in mind also. Wasn't expecting this, because I wasn't paying attention obviously, and I had forgotten. Thanks for jarring my memory, Eva. :p

I'm not eligible. *sigh*

Eternal Darkness · **11-20-2012, 09:27 PM**

speaking of all this... does anyone wanna form a Garuda party?

Aysun · **11-20-2012, 10:42 PM**

Well, we'd only be doing it for fun, since everything we do is not going to be saved (story and level progress/weapons/etc).

Personally I want to make my hubby finally see the GC/Dalamud storyline since he is obsessed with the End of an Era trailer. xDD

Eternal Darkness · **11-21-2012, 05:40 AM**

i never got to battle Garuda, so it'd just be fun for me :p
