I'll take five.
  • PVP Capture the flag

    I'd sooner have a battleship PvP mode. It should be easy to slap together using a kraken boat modified with Berhbe hooks and ballistae. Also easy to re-skin the ballistae to cannons for extra flavor.

  • What are the final days of an MMO like?

    Lord of Vermilion Arena (LoVA)
    Type: MOBA
    Localization: Japanese only
    Publisher: Square Enix

    --About the Game--
    LoVA was basically the ultimate weebo version of arena games like LoL, HotS, DotA... (2 teams, 3 lanes, 3 turrets in each lane, a main building to destroy, etc.). Regular games consist of 14 players (7 on each team), and each player controls their own personal avatar alongside up to 4 additional units, which can also be swapped among up to 3 alternatives. The flexibility and player skill involves swapping out the units you command; there are no item choices or ability-leveling choices to be made once a match has started. Prior to the start of the match, you can customize your personal avatar with equipment and change the units that will be available to you during matches.

    --Final Days--
    Several months before the servers were shut down, Square Enix sent emails to all players to thank and inform them that LoVA was being shut down to commit more resources to Lord of Vermilion Re:3. They also provided a couple of codes for LoV Re:3 and a couple of other games that could be redeemed for some stuff. The LoV Re:3 code unlocked the LoVA title screen music.

    All units in the LoVA store were reduced to one in-game currency, and all players were given some ridiculously high amount of in-game currency to purchase anything and everything in the game. I wasn't online during the final hours of LoVA, but a friend told me a lot of dedicate players were on up until the servers shut down for good. There was a special thank you message tagged on to the usual "servers will be shutting down in X hours and Y minutes".

    Honestly, there is no excuse as to why this game should have been shut down. Simply making it global would have made it a huge hit, especially after LoL's retcon of 2014.

    Final Fantasy XIV
    Type: MMORPG
    Localization: Global
    Publisher: Square Enix

    --About the Game--
    Technically, this game was remade. However, I think it's still worth mentioning because the developers literally blew up the world to remake it. Those who are interested can read up on it.

    --Final Days--
    Emails, blogs, etc. There was a lot of talk about the game ending and getting remade. The in-game story involved a giant meteor that was going to crash into the planet, and during the final days of the original FFXIV, you could actually see the meteor in the sky, in-game, getting closer with each passing month. When the servers finally shutdown, there was a cinematic:

    I don't play A Realm Reborn though because my toaster can't run it, and I lost interest in it once the world blew up...it seemed like a fitting end for my character.

  • I cant progress story

    You're getting interference from the sub-story "Fancy Furniture of Rocheste".

    First check if Nel is at Rocheste Castle by talking to the guard standing near the castle gate by the Battlemaster. If Nel is not there, go to Caryl at the bar and watch the scene with Schulivan. If you did not see a scene with Schulivan, go to the General Store in Colhen and watch the scene there, and then go to the Bar, followed by Nel at the Castle. Once you're done watching these scenes, Nel will be at the Royal Army base.

  • Restore Durability

    As V0lterix said, Ferghus has been able to do this since the last major update (2-16-2017 Vindictus Unification Update).

    As a point of interest, it is not a good system for restoring durability on rare items. Here are a few details for those who are skeptical:
    -The system requires a base item copy of the item you intend on restoring plus a gold fee.
    -Gold fee is dependent on the usual things (item level, enhancement, enchantment rank, star quality...everything except power infusion).
    -You can only restore an item's durability if it is less than 100.
    -Restores 10 durability per session, even if you are at 99 durability (your item will go up to 109).

    Notes about gold fee:
    -The gold fee is negligible for most servers, amounting to about 100k on an orange +10 Consistent Valor 3* Regina Glaive.
    -Level seems to be the greatest determining factor of the fee. Enhancement and enchantments only raise the cost by about 1000 gold per rank.
    -Some items are inconsistent. For example, the gold fee for Evil Monster's Leather Belt is higher than Sunset's Glow, but Sunset's Glow has the same cost as Shield Badge.

  • Rookie here, enjoying the game so far :D

    Try hosting a raid if you can. Players mainly look for raids, and higher level players are capable of running level 60 raids in small Quick Board groups. So if it looks like you're having trouble finding boats at level 60, then it could be that people are just starting the boats right when they get 1-2 level 90s.
