The Adventures of Square Enix!




Square Enix Dev Team Monthly Brainstorm Gathering: These hardcore players need a reason to stay or else we will be losing a big part of our playerbase...Hmmm...Salvage wasn't good enough. They found a way to get Triple their rewards by taking advantage of a game flaw and kept it secret before we could patch it. It made the hardcore fan base obtain Super gear 300% Faster.....But we have a plan in store for them, Temp bans to scare them all and removal of all salvage armor pending chat log reviews...LM 11's for everyone come late may after we review a years worth of chat logs, we shall call it the 09 Salvage Grind for irony! But besides all that we still have PW and AV up our sleeves to keep them playing.

(random dev team intern Busts open door) SIR...


Dev team: Yes? OH god that face...That look...Not another K club Zerg on AV..

Intern: No, Still remains undefeated after patch. I regret to inform you however...PW was Defeated by a linkshell named Apathy.

Dev team leader: ...Excuse me.

Intern: Sorry sir, it was killed. Apparently You forgot to reduce the affect of cannonball on a weakened / double weakened state. That's Mainly how it was defeated. And some log off to avoid astral flow, I'm not really sure of all the details just wanted to let you know.

Dev team man responsible for astral flow on PW: How the fuck do you expect me to design a strategic battle for endgame players when they can just log out to avoid things and deal massive dmg to a mob even when killed Multiple times!

Dev team Leader: It's all going to be ok people. Calm down. We will patch that blu thing we overlooked and also make it so you cannot engage a mob you previously targeted then logged out on until 20 minutes after you log in.

Intern: Those Americans and their silly tricks...

Dev Team leader: WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY? They weren't Japanese?

Intern: No sir, apathy is an american endgame LS.

Dev team leader: I...i need to make a call. Yes hello, I'd like all progress on chat logs sent up immediately. ~~~His group of loyal dev team employees wonders what he is doing while in extreme anger~~~


People working on salvage chat log reviews: Np sir, only 950 Found to be involved so far but its only been a week of reviews but so far seems mostly Out of region players such as Americans.

Dev team leader: It's ok... i want anyone that got pieces to be Perma banned, and anyone helping who didn't get anything to be temp banned thank you.

People working on salvage chat log reviews: Did i just..

Dev team leader: Hear me correctly? Yes you did. Do it asap. Thanks

Employee at gathering talking: sir, isn't that a little harsh?

Dev team leader: Your fired. Anyone else want to speak out loud? How about explaining to me how the player base managed to kill PW..how ...Americans...Managed to kill PW? GET THE FUCK TO WORK PEOPLE. NOW.

Dev team leader talking to dev team: The player base has gotten out of hand, so i did the same. I have no regrets for my decisions and This will teach them not to abuse the system. Americans do not do things before us. Not here. Not in my world.


President of Square Enix calling Dev team leader next day: We have a big decrease in our company earnings this month.

Dev team leader: This "Virtual Holocaust" If you will, was needed sir. We needed a way to introduce players into our new MMORPG we're working on and who better than the hardcore fanbase? Remember sir, its always darkest before the dawn. With them in it, the rest will follow and we can charge an even higher rate on our new project once its finished. I even pretended to be an "out in the open" racist plus i have the entire Team under my control. We are set sir.

President of Square Enix : Now i remembered why i put you in charge. Pure Genius. And btw if you ever quote an American Film again, you'll be out of a job.

Dev team leader: WHA CHU talking bout!.... you didn't say sitcoms!

President of square enix: ...Get to work.

[Jedimasta]

I'm honestly surprised that only 5 people on Bahamut got kicked. I expected that number to be way higher than that.

Holy shit they banned Kaeko?! I wasn't aware he was even doing anything wrong.

Sucks for Jackyl too, after completing Burtgang >.<


No people from Seraph listed yet? Hmm... there's gotta be a few...

Am trying, all the NAs I could think of are on, sans 1 or 2. I don't know about the JPs really. Hell, our server is so dumb to do a lotta things, wouldn't surprise me if we get out with 5-6 people total noted.

Call me when somewhere that isn't an FFXI Blog writes a story on this stuff, it'd be interesting to see what possible twists a Kotaku or Joystiq post would result in.

On Lakshmi's Front:

Id imagine the majority of our bans are going to come from the JP side seeing as we had major spike in JPs with full salvage sets right up to the patch. (sent imp wootz flying, it did)

I doubt our list gets past 5 though for well-known players though.

Kinda funny with the dominating thought that NA players are "evil" while Japanese players are pure-hearted, selfless white knights.

[Ryko]

Residue is a trooper.

[vagus]

Residue is a trooper.

[Guitarman]

Odin's JP population should be a big one. Whitegate is littered with full usu/morrigans.
