Well, I like most of what I see here but I’m still concerned about server stability.
Even though these changes will most likely improve the game so much compared to the state it was in a while ago, I would argue that server stability is more important. That being said, that is my only complaint and this game is on its way to surpass the revolutionary FFXI MMORPG. The new changes in the team and staff over at the FFXIV HQ appears to have been a very wise decision.
So far, so good!
