We’ve decided to change the way our home page displays FFXIV: A Realm Reborn news as we felt quality posts were becoming harder to find among all the dev blog and Lodestone post quotes. The idea is that we post more original content created by us, instead of mixing in official news written by the developers of FFXIV.
The Lodestone and Dev Blog info isn’t going away however, indeed it is still important that we are able to bring you official news as well as information we have gathered ourselves or from other sources. The solution was to add a new widget to the right side bar called Dev Posts. Here you will find the latest 10 posts from the Lodestone and Dev Blog. They will also be accessible via the News page as per usual. Occasionally a dev post may appear on our home page, it just depends on the content of it.
The NDA is due to be lifted around the time beta phase 3 begins, which is in early June. From this time we will be able to talk about FFXIV: ARR in depth and we have a lot planned. We feel making this change now is good preparation as we continue to improve the site in time for the launch of FFXIV: ARR.
We’re also considering letting some of you guys get your articles posted on the site should any of you be interested in writing original FFXIV: ARR articles post-NDA. We’ve shied away from this in the past as we can’t afford to offer money, but it could enhance your portfolio and credit would be given. Contact us at admin@ffxivinfo.com if you are interested.
As a side note we are expecting the official release date of FFXIV: ARR to be announced towards the end of the month. Our best prediction puts it around August but stay tuned to find out the date later in the month. E3 takes place in early June and there will be a lot of new info coming from that event too.
