There was a little bit more, but I didn't get it before he blocked me and now I can't see it. He told me to leave him alone, I called him a hypocrite and told him there is a block feature, so he used it.

The entire argument that it hurts retail FFXI is absurd. They're not pulling from the same population of people, so there's no competition.

How many people here would honestly go play Retail if Nasomi was shut down right now?

If Mr. Happy wants to call it disrespectful, whatever. He's entitled to that opinion. "Games evolve, generations grow up" is the part of his argument that I think stems from actual retardation. Yes, people grow up - and can not like the same thing you like. Yes, the game did evolve, and a lot of people don't like it. The act of "playing on a private server" is not disrespectful, in my opinion, because the content they have developed since then sucks compared to the previous content. I played WOTG, Abyssea, some Adoulin - I tried it - it was poor quality and execution. It isn't disrespectful to the devs for liking something that they developed in the past. That's like saying "You shouldn't like X person's old music, because they made new music" where music = whatever the heck you want it to be.

I'm not saying that games shouldn't evolve, I'm saying games CAN and DID evolve in the wrong direction. I've played UO, EQ, XI, WoW, GW, GW2, XIV - etc. The reason XI excelled because it differentiated itself (maybe not so much compared to EQ, its inspiration) and did not fit the mold.

I'd love to see Asura's/Retail's population in a fictional world where SE did launch an official CoP/TOUA era 75 cap server. I'd be willing to bet it would tank in comparison.

It isn't "nostalgia glasses" or "remembering it being better then it was" - no, the game was just hands down better. If retail XI was more fun to me, or felt better to me, I'd play that instead. That's why we play Nasomi instead.

tl;dr Mr. Happy is a tool.

Don't we have enough drama here without importing youtube/twitch/twitter beefs?

Someone who only got popular in XIV because they were the first (and initially the only) person to release XIV raid guides, and that popularity carried over to Twitch. His guides were awful, taking exceptional amounts of time to explain single things, but he was all there was - so popular gaming social media ate it up. There's people far more entertaining them him, also better content creators, with a less shit personality. I've dealt with him personally in XIV, he's an asshole (edit: full disclosure, I also asshole).



Unfortunately the BST and SMN threads have been a little dull. People need to step it up.

don't give any attention to MrCarried or any other form of FFXIV twitch/guide cancer lol

also lol at a F-list streamer/content creator for a shitty wowclone calling someone with actual popularity "disrespectful"

I quit Retail a LONG time ago because of the direction it took. The ONLY reason I'm playing FFXI is because of what Nasomi is. I would GLADLY pay 15 or even more for Nasomi if he 1. was allowed to charge, and 2. charged or even asked for donations. I would donate 15$ if that meant helping the server growth and longevity.

This is 2018, consumers shouldnt just be forced to play whatever the developers make just because they make it. I play what I want to play, I play to have fun. It's like saying "well, you're a star wars fan, so you HAVE to watch all the star wars movies"...

If Square Enix, doesn't make something I want to play, I'm not going to play it.... If Nasomi gets shut down, I will NOT go back to retail. I probably wouldn't even play a Retail Legacy at this point because I don't trust them to do the same good job that Nas does.

This is just another example of a dying shitty "content creator" trying to get attention by starting up drama with someone MUCH more successful than he.
