Have you played? Will you play?

[Ouch!]

I don't think there will be an improvement to the schedule or to quality because of the disaster. It's already been stated that they are pushing things back by about two weeks or so for patching.

Despite that, I don't think you're a terrible person for thinking it.

While he did announce a delay of one to two weeks for patches 1.16a and 1.17, Yoshi-P also announced that they would continue to do as much groundwork for future content as possible. I imagine the delay will not be too noticeable in the long run. I suppose we'll see where things are headed in the next few hours; they promised a re-evaluation of how long the servers will be down on the 22nd. It's still a very real possibility that their development team will be back to full power before the energy restrictions are lifted and they can get all the servers back online.

Fair enough. I guess since I'm actively playing the game I just don't want to get my hopes up for something big. xD I always hope, but never expect, if that makes sense.

Jeremy bought it just yesterday, actually, and we plan to try it out on the new computer when we can.

We're going to start a character as soon as the servers go back up. How do we get on your server, BoB?

Choose Lindblum when you are given the options for a server to join. I can't imagine any server will not be listed due to being 'full' at present.

game's going back up the 25th btw.

I chose the "I have not played FFXIV as I am waiting for the game to be released on PS3." option, but it's a bit of a lie. I played the PC version and completely hated it on my brothers laptop. If it improves significantly before the PS3 version drops, I'll pick it up on the PS3. Waiting for reviews (hopefully review sites will give it another chance on the PS3)

Have not played. Cannot play

[Necronopticous]

It looked like the servers were all up @ FFXIV Server Status | FF14News - Final Fantasy XIV News so I installed and updated the game tonight. I've gotten nothing but 13001 Lobby server connection has encountered an error so far. Here's to hoping I can actually create a character soon.

Edit: We're all set up, now. We started in Gridania. The controls are atrocious.

Waiting for PS3 version as I do not have a PC that can play it.

[Marshall Banana]

The camera gives me motion sickness. I can't play for a long period of time, it seems, but I try!

Aside from that, I'm enjoying the game so far.

[Rostum]

Make sure you turn on the hardware mouse.

[Loony BoB]

I thought that was enabled by default now? Or did they just improve it to the point that I no longer notice it's software? Either way, it's fine for me. D= Maybe I switched to hardware and just don't remember.

I interviewed the dev team at last years Gamescom and was given a copy from them on release... I've played a bit, but there was so much stuff that just should have been there from the start that it quickly irritated me.

I remember back at the interview the team were talking as though it was nowhere near release yet, then BAM there's the release date.

Im now leaving it a good while to become established and maybe fix some of the wrongs then ill come back and give it a go.

[Jiro]

I would play it if I had an internet connection that was up to it. Even though MMOs aren't my favourite thing in the world, I would spend every minute talking to BoB about how awesome my character is compared to his.

Obviously I'd be wrong but still

[LunarWeaver]

MMOs aren't too appealing to me to begin with, and this one looks like a game of waiting for patch news instead of a game you play.

[Jessweeee♪]

I change my vote to "never gonna play." I've decided that I'm just not going to do the MMO thing ever.
