Subscription Required to Post on Lodestone?Follow

This is pretty lame >.>

Yes it is quite... moody over there. I much prefer the clientel on these boards.

Just wondering did SE also redo their website? I tried to log in and it said I needed to creat or reactivate my account "can't remember but all my old games that I had registered with them where gone? Now their message board looks like the opposite it's like everyone there is giving SE a reach around! Nothing is questioned just how great SE is and their games are? Makes me think its all bull?

I try NA but it wasn't until you mentioned the problem logging in games that where in EU format that I put it together and I was redirected to a EU account. I just sent an email to customer support ill give you a heads up when they respond.

It's to prevent too many negative opinions from being posted. If Square Enix limits their board membership to subscribers they can much more easily control the board.

This way most of the members are die-hard fans who will all group together against naysayers and make their opinions seem lesser.

How can you post opinions for a game you've never played? If you don't have a reg code, then you never played....right? Or am i missing something?

Strangely enough the last one was banned the same day or the day before this guy started posting. I call conspiracy lol. :P

You're channeling Poubelle aren't you.

They limit who can post to people actually playing, if people can't see the sense in that I can't help you.

That being said, they should have a few open forums, especially the General Discussion.

Frankly I can't stand some of the posters over there, if you think they're rabid fans you clearly haven't read enough posts. The rabid part is right at least

Absolutely, I don't know why registration is down. My best guess is they're changing the process and want to make sure those with codes who haven't registered yet don't lose something in the change (ie. you register now, in the transition, and somehow your registration is lost and now your code is worthless). Opening up at least a few forums to non-players would help with that too.

Well then your account should still be there on the NA side. In the post I made, I mentioned that I created a test account, and with that test account, I did a search and found my original account linked to both username and email, I just can't get into it due to the EU ghost account.

Looking forward to your update.

Oh trust me, they only want the rabid fanboys in their forum, which is kinda funny when in their "Other" forum people bash the game, the population from the main forums cannot comprehend it..... Ah SE at it's best XD!

I disagree. I have been using the official forum for its duration, and the membership is overwhelmingly positive about FFXIV, ARR, and Yoshi-P.

You can even look at the current hot topics and you'll see threads like this. "I want to make a thread where people post FFXIV media (Videos, Pictures, Music etc...) that puts FFXIV in a positive light."

It's all stuff like that. "Let's draw pictures of Yoshi-P, he's our God!" and so on.

You will find very little criticism about FFXIV, because it's heavily moderated. There a couple of negative posters, but most have been banned. If you're too critical about ARR, you'll get suspended.

I was itching to start a post a while back in the FFXI forums to provoke thoughtful discussion of "Why does SE completely fail to understand PUP and it's automaton and why did they give them such a terrible new 2 hour?" or somethign like that.
