Deplorable

*REDACTED

Too little too late. The damage is done. The brand is unrecoverable after what his majesty did. And rightfully so. Leave it dead and move on with your lives. I'm becoming a monk IRL. God speed

Where I can transfer my lvl 70 naked corpse?

Can't even get a server shutdown right. Leaving the servers on overnight to fizzle out... Such class and care.

Hey hey, stopping in for reasons two fold. To check on the current calamity... pun intended & to present where I'll be going in the next couple months. I stumped across FFXIV and some backstory into the failure and rebirth from 1.0 to 2.0. The story is nothing short of miraculous! How Yoshi P was brought into try and save 1.0 but ultimately realizing it was a lost cause. Yet the core was not abandoned... Instead the team provided updates for the last 6 months while starting a brand new 2.0! A Realm Reborn. What would subsequently happen involved writing the servers eventual shutdown on Nov 11 2012 into the lore of the game itself! As each patch came out, the second moon mentioned through previous stories, eventually got bigger and closer as the deadline neared. Players that had logged out at an inn for some time returned to a haunting dream sequence that showed all your allies disappearing and your ultimate death. Nov 1st hit with patch 1.23b. At this point the moon was so close that it affected weather with lightning and storms, you could make out its man made structure as well and a haunting melody with lyrics while GM's spawned bosses for all out invasion played in echos to players dismay. What a sight that would have been! Here are the last minutes as recorded by a legacy player. As some players chose to form lines at the cities gates to fend off these monsters, other took refuge in the world to watch the impending doom that was unavoidable. Truly haunting... AS THE SERVER WENT OFFLINE, THE TRAILER AT 5:00 MARK PLAYED... and 2.0 would not return until August the following year 2013. This CGI masterpiece would mark the end of 1.0 in a blaze of glory that brought tears to fans all around the world. Nothing like this has ever been done before. Like I said, a miracle. You can find the complete history of FFXIV in 2 separate documentaries by "NOCLIP" and "SPEAKERS NETWORK" on YouTube. "In a Nutshell" did a funny parody as well. Currently FFXIV trails behind WoW, yet has only gotten better with each Expansion from Heavensward, Stormblood to Shadowbringers today. As soon as I plan out a new PC, I'll be joining the land of Eorzea for epic adventures and graphics. I hope some found this informative and helpful. I figured it would be fitting since we're on the theme of realms ending. A main draw for many people is the community. Not to mention the glamor knocks transmog out of the park. People say it's night and day with wow. Should be interesting. I'm going to leave this last trailer here for the Stormblood expansion as it hits all the good feels. I'm sure you can all find current reviews and starter guides as I have recently. Godspeed!

Please forgive this old dwarf for sounding salty previously, but my reasons are sound and just. That being said, thank you for hosting this server for as many years as you and your team have. I started in 2016 after the WC movie and had an itch for old content. Somehow I combined my newly formed faith and need to be different into a pretty decent Shockadin (Songoku will always be King). I joined SNS during one of the PVP events at Stratholme and rose through the rank thanks to Morgal, Becq and Degrasse. Some may think of me as a great player, but many know better. I'm not that great but I can heal my ass off and carry WSG's to victory as proven time and time again. Arena was never my scene and I respect those that have it down to a science. It's been a great run and I'll miss everyone. Some may know I tried to leave 5-6 months ago but kept coming back to this great server. PVP shittalk aside, you're all great. Even you Joel. Olana, it's been... interesting to say the least. I'd like to leave this here one more time. God bless you all and see you in the next one I'm not crying, you're crying!!!

You should have hired Morgal as a GM. He was full of great ideas that were actually implemented. Without passion, one leads to stagnation. But this is an excellent point. As Spacey said... p.s. Banning legacy players for linking that screenshot in world is REAL LOW. ie. Saintality

Where is my x-mas donation refund? I saw it as a chance to support the server and now I feel betrayed as the leaked screenshot (with no date) brought up closing the cash shop immediately. As much as I love Excalibur and my time here since 2016 I think, that kind of behavior is unsavory and leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I'm not running down all GM's of course. A damned shame.

I'm sorry but this seems appropriate.
