    Meanwhile, you can still buy the game so that'll make for an interesting "new player experience."

    Seems like a pretty drastic step to take just to combat bots. I'd think you are better off letting bots run, while working on a solution, as opposed to impacting new players that might be purchasing the game. Guess it depends on the level of harm being attributed to the bots...

    First, indeed sales are not temporarily disabled, so there's that.
    Second, one may wonder how many of those "peak/concurrent users" shown on steamdb and the likes are actually real players?

    What else they can disable next? The purchases? The servers? I sure hope so, that game has been a pile of hot steaming garbage.

    Not certain but didn't FFXIV do that before? Or was that just sales....

    Yeah they did. Just last fall, but that was a volume thing for them. This is something different - probably related to some new creative economic shenanigans by players.

    Was that when they took the game offline and spent a year or more re-wrting it? That turned out to be a huge success.

    Is NW at that point?

    Yawn just an average day in new world let the refund spam frenzy and card stops begin

    Just shows the brilliance of the Star Citizen business model. No refunds. I wonder how much Amazon took in and then gave back? Millions? Hundreds of millions?

    At some point, they'll do a full wipe of the database to clean up after the many duping bugs and other catastrophes.  That will make everyone start over from scratch.  And then the economy will be ruined by another duping bug a week later.

    No this was just recently because they had too many people playing with the release of the Endwalker expansion and the servers couldn't handle it. https://www.ign.com/articles/final-fantasy-14-sales-stopped-endwalker

    The optics of this is very poor with them not disabling sales as well. People will be pretty much buying a game they can't play and generate more negativity.

    Two things:

    `1. ff14 only locked the servers to certain high pop servers like Balmung. You could make a new character, but you had to time it correctly. They also added server visiting, so even if you were on a different server you could play fully on said locked server.

    2. Recently they only disabled selling the game, not making new characters as a result of too much winning.

    No, they really won't.
  • abollardiereabollardiere Member UncommonPosts: 121
    There is a simple reason why there are doing this, no need for a long article with a "we can only speculate" as a conclusion.

    People are creating characters, spamming messages of the likes of this

    "buy gold 1000=1USD newworldcoins.com code: NW"

    then they log out, rinse and repeat with a new character

    why globally? well that message showed up for me multiple times on an AP server. So it's everywhere.

    FFXIV disable whole new account creation, but not bcz of bugs, but bcz they reach their server player maximum, so they stop SELLING game a thus adding new players, but i think this was only for few days
