FFXIV news

[LocoColt04]

So, this is mostly relevant to the news team and admin team (so 80% Andromeda) but I have noticed that periodic waves of FFXIV news completely wash out the rest of the news stream at times. I was contemplating having a third little crystal (currently, topics with blue crystals are FF news and red are other JRPG news) for FFXIV:ARR news. It'll trim down the overwhelming feeling the frontpage has.

Thoughts? Fuzz? Andro?

FFXIV will sort of go through waves of peak times with news. Specifically, around patch time and when they have LIVE letters. The patches are 2-3 months and the letters every month. The massive content in the patch is what resulted in the volume of news articles. So I'm not sure it'd be safe to call it the norm. Admittedly however, FFXIV news is probably on the lower side of interest for readers, especially minor things like new features and what not.

I have been feeling that the tab for news could do with some more for the sake appearance if nothing else. A FFXIV tab would not seem unreasonable. While FFXI is more on the back side of things. I'd say keep it open for the online FF games rather than specifically just FFXIV. I don't religiously follow FFXI anymore, unless someone wants to pick it up. There is no doubt a decent amount of things coming out of the updates every 3 months.
