It's a very good point. Bouncing ideas back and forth really won't get us all that far. Honestly I think we need to just get as many people involved who want to be, sit down a night or three, and just hammer out a new idea - not only with the future of the RPC in mind, but with the future of FFXIV in mind.
With the recent announcement that has just blown most of the FFXIV community back in their seats, I really think it's time that we put aside all our differences and prepare for our own 2.0. It's no longer about building out community up for a fairly large PS3 launch - we have the chance to build our community up for an entirely new game by the looks of it. We have plenty of time to get it right this time around. We can learn from what happened the first time around, and not let the same things happen.
I think I'm just going to have to rescind my previous opinions about bonding us in-game. I mean, it should still be attempted, but I no longer think it should be a focus. This news changes everything for me. I think we just need to start rebuilding and conditioning the forums to receive the wealth of new players that will come with the revamped FFXIV. Sure, our current community is important - but now we have something massive to build towards in the future instead of running on hope that FFXIV will succeed and the RP community will flourish.
I'm almost 100% positive it will flourish, now.
