As the leaves turn color and summer heat gives way to brisk autumn breezes, the denizens of Eorzea once again prepare to observe All Saints' Wake. As the day of celebration approaches, the streets are abuzz with gossip of strange characters in frightful costumes come to haunt the streets of the three city-states. The Raven has wasted no time in sleuthing the origin of these enigmatic travelers.

We understand that there have been quite a few requests to make other chat channels make sounds when you receive messages. The development team has already implemented this feature on the development server and it will be possible to set sounds for party, linkshell, and free company chat individually. You can even set separate sounds for different linkshells!
This feature is slated for implementation in patch 2.1.
==============

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/102527-The-Mystery-of-Coil-Turn-3?p=1408176#post1408176

As there has been quite a lot of speculation on Turn 3, we wanted to clarify that there are no bosses to challenge, or loot to be obtained, and that this is how it was designed from the start.
==============

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/86742-ENB-Injector-for-FFXIV-%28wip%29?p=1408111#post1408111

Utilizing such a tool would not violate any agreements customers have with Square Enix, and we don't plan on doing anything to restrict users from accessing it.
However, we advise that players use this at their own risk. Square Enix does not regulate the content of the aforementioned add-on and will not be responsible for any damage or losses resulting from its use.
==============

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/93773-Holy-Shield-1-Racial-Glow-Scaling-Broken?p=1408072#post1408072

As some of you have noticed, the glowing effect for Holy Shield +1 differs in size depending on your race, and this is actually a bug. We will be fixing this to match the size of the shield.
However, there’s been a lot of feedback that the glowing effect looks really cool, so after we fix the effect bug, we will look into making adjustments to the size of the actual effect for patch 2.1.
==============

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/100125-I-need-server-transfer-now%21?p=1408033#post1408033

The details for the World Transfer Service have been announced on the Lodestone. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you can read up on it here.
We will be accepting applications for free transfer between 10/15 and 10/21, so if you wish to transfer for free please be sure to utilize the service before the cut-off date.
As you might have noticed from those dates, we decided to extend the free period from the aforementioned five days to seven days.
Also, please note that if there is a character on the destination World with the same name as you, that person will have priority for keeping the name. However, in the future we will be making a change to this so the player who is active will have priority. We'll be making an announcement on this when the change occurs.
==============

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/75393-The-hell-was-square-thinking-with-mining-botanist.?p=1407986#post1407986

The development team is aware that the experience points awarded to botanists and miners is somewhat lower than what is awarded to fishers. As such, during the Hot Fix that will take place next week, we will be increasing the experience earned gained by these two classes.
==============

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/103741-Entering-in-Progress-Already-Complete?p=1407955#post1407955

The development team is aware of the issue where members will be replenished after a dungeon has already been cleared, and this is indeed a bug. We will be fixing this issue during the next Hot Fix and apologize for any inconvenience.
==============

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/94648-Anyone-not-get-their-cactuar-earrings?p=1407912#post1407912

In case you haven't seen the announcement made on Lodestone, we will begin distributing the Cactuar Earrings and Bomb Earrings on October 15! We hope you enjoy showing off these iconic monsters as they dangle from your ears.
