FYI, the servers are still going to be running "for the foreseeable future", we just won't be getting major updates (except mobile port?)

Abyssea was cool as far as character progression goes, but the story was pretty much non-existent. Adoulin is possibly the most boring storyline and overall expansion they have added yet, even if it did bring about the new ilevel gear (which is really just their solution for not being to raise the level past 99 since the game is coded to work on a lite-bright). The entire story is all politics, and it doesn't even have any intrigue until about halfway through, and even still you have absolutely no idea what you're really up against until the final few missions. If you never even got through the story of WoG, and I wouldn't blame you since it took like 3 years for them to finish it, then you are much better off just having fond memories of the golden Zilart/CoP/Treasures era.

Hey, sorry, you're wrong :colbert: It was awesome to have a "What If" scenario where you lost against Promathia

Might be worth transferring, a ton of NA players seem to be migrating to Asura. I just transferred a week or two ago and it's weird to actually see people around again. Also the fact that SE said they weren't even going to consider merges until November.

I would not be surprised to hear about server merges before they release the last expansion pack.

Noooope.

Q: Are there plans to merge servers due to the declining player base?

A: At least until the completion of “Rhapsodies of Vana’diel” in November 2015, there are no plans for merging unless something major comes up. After completion, we do have some plans in the event that players are giving feedback about not being able to form parties and more players voicing their requests for server merges. As far as how we’ll merge, we’ll be looking into how to handle this such as merging two Worlds into one World, or transferring players from one World to a World of their choosing.

Did the devs ever mention if they were going to add an in-game achievement system?

I know titles have existed since the game started, but it would be cool if there was an easy in-game way to see what you've earned vs. what's still to be done, and the requirements for each.

They added an RoE version, but it's very barebones.

If you buy the regular version of Seekers of Adoulin do you get the other expansions as well? The collectors edition specifically says all the previous expansions are bundled, but $30 is a bit steep when I just want to tool around since it's been so long since I last played.

You just missed a sale where it was $10 for the Ultimate Collection.

Is this the game where a boss was supposed to be unkillable, then when a guild got within a few moments of killing it, Sony killed the servers? I'm trying to remember that story but I don't recall what game it was.

No it's the one where the guild spent 18 hours trying to kill it before giving up.

Also the one where another guild spent months working their way through a notorious monster system only to have the end boss be a placeholder. (Look up ATNM Test)
