FFVault Gets Reinvigorated!

Seriously...

Now, whoever reads this forum for Square, please take this next part back with you to whomever writes the update notes. Please use the following pattern: One note on a particular week, release it on Wednesday; two notes on a particular week, release them on Tuesday and Thursday; three notes on a particular week, release them on Monday and Wednesday and Friday. This way we know how much information that we are going to get on any given week. Only put advertisement for cheap, tacky jewelry or invigorated web sites between or after update notes- otherwise you will enrage your playerbase hungry for news. Try to space out at least 2 update notes a week, include filler like new items and Moogles in Selbina- it is better than no news. For the love of god, don't ever skip a week again- ten days is entirely too long between notes. You can also buy a little breathing room before the playerbase starts gnawing off their arms if you make your initial annoucement about the next update and give a timeframe of when news will start appearing, for example "Check back in two weeks for more news and blah blah blah." The point of these teasers is to excite the players for the contents of the next update, you do this by having a steady and predictable news flow for them. I am not sure about other sites, but at least around here, people start getting a little rabid without enough news to keep our (false) hopes up for the next update- you can distract us from debating (bitching about) AV and PW which gets a little frustrating after awhile. With just a few PR basics you can keep people happy, well, maybe not happy, but at least bitching about new things.

XXX, OOO,
Septy.

P.S. I'll write your teaser notes for you. I'll write the hell out of them.

I think I love you. And I mean that in a totally platonic way. Especially because I'm a Galka, and even if it wasn't platonic I couldn't do anything about it anyway.

The update will most likely be Sept 8th, given the dates of the last two updates this year. That still gives time for 2-3 major announcements at least.

Adventuring Fellow Adjustments (which would normally go in the middle of the announcements as filler even though I love Zoldof and Zayag, so let me hope dimensionally that it will be HUGE) and (for the love of god) new RDM spells? Who knows?

Finally, someone who loves me for my reasoning skills!

My first thought was, "the fuck is FF Vault?" This was quickly followed by an infuriating realization that SE had just bitched out on their teasers for the week. I'm with Septimus on this update so far, except that whole new RDM spell thing...god knows they've gone years without giving us anything why start now. @.@;

edit; Next Week! Killing Ifrit Updates Servers! (I can see it now...)

[Julian]

Next update is about the Linkshell Community, just you fucking wait. I called it.

That would actually be awesome, more stuff to go on ffxiah achievements (*'-')

[Shuemue]

Is that a real site?

[JigglyJam]

Is there an update teaser for the Japanese community? Because if it's the same, they'd probably be going "WTF" more than we are.

Real Updates Comming, We Promise! ( 08/28/2008 )

We are pleased to announce that real Final Fantasy XI update notifications will be comming out this Friday! Worst case, next Monday. Or Wesnesday. We promise! Also, buy our new shit for sale! Stay tuned for another week of more filler!

[Rivieras]

WASTE OF SPACE

Are they trying to become more "in touch" with the community now?

Good possibility.


How about we post everything that we've been bitching about on their forums. Email the whoever that's in charge and ring the doorbell to SE's Dev team that way.

We at least know the douches go to a site we believed was dead.





ps. i miss those games

[Rammses]

1998 called and it wants its site layout back.

[Spira]

makes you wonder if the japanese people are lucky or unfortunate to not have gotten this piece of news

[Isiolia]

Is that a real site?

It is, it's part of the network of sites that IGN absorbed, which is probably why it got this level of coverage. Like 'em or not, that's a rather large site.

[loyaltrekie]

1998 called and it wants site layout back.

No, they just called again, they want there joke back.

[Izzy]

No, they just called again, they want there joke back.

Then they called back again and asked to be sent back to 1998 so they can learn basic grammar.

Get sent all the way back their?!?! :O

If this is news, POL should announce when Ruke updates his LJ or a good drama thread pops up here in BG.

Oh Shit, I just fell out of my chair at the image.

Ruke is Come! Ruke Updates His Live Journal! 8/28/2008

[Crisco]

I'm sure they don't care because they know people will still be F5'n their main page regardless of real update notes or not.

On a plus side (I guess?), if that site had a complete database (which it doesn't) with a Somepage-esque search function (not even close), I'd use it (I probably still wouldn't).
