#ffxiv bug

The reason why I post this is because I discussed with some people not knowing about that bug and thinking that the person they were RPing with went AFK or was bored, while in fact their sentence was simply deleted by the game. This bug can lead to some incomprehension or worst when you’re unaware of it, so I thought that sharing this information might help one or two people out there.

I encourage every FFXIV RPer to have a X minutes “rule”.

It’s simple, you probably know of your partners’ pace when it comes to RP, so if nothing comes after X minutes, you ask them if they wrote something. The goal isn’t to startle your partner and force them to write within the timer (that’s why you should adapt the “rule” to your partner’s pace), but to make sure that SE wasn’t nasty and didn’t randomly eat any sentence, so make sure to explain to them about the bug so they won’t feel stressed if you ever need to ask. It’s a rule we apply with Carina since day 1 and the only thing we found to not suffer too much from that bug, but if you have some other idea, feel free to share them ♥ !

If you are RPing with someone and don’t want to give them your Skype or Discord ID just to send back an eaten sentence, I recommend you to use > Pastebin < !

Copy your sentence from the chat.

Paste it in the “New Paste” section.

Click on “Create new paste”.

Send the Paste link to your RP partner.
