Make FFXI Free to play!

[Tagihi]

I know it's gonna be people who disagree with this but I'll be honest.
The game is 11 years + old, it has been very fun game until now. There are hardly people left who play all the friends you played with over there. I play mostly EU time and there are hardly people anymore now.

People are unhappy on the new expansion that has given the game a little hope to hang on.
But it is not worth the price o play anymore. XIV is coming out soon and it will be better the only few players who will be left in the XI all solo boxing players.

Then I can well understand that the server won't hold well for over 10,000 players a server as it would safely put down on a ps2.
But seriously who plays on a ps2 today? I did that, but no longer is because it is so limited.

I think XI has been among the best games online because of a good social game good community, but it has begun to die out very much.
Many will never experience the XI as it was the right at the beginning and before raised cap above 75+, but this game has fallen away and today everything is solo everything can be done yourself most of the time anyway.
I think SE should look at his game and think about what we'll do with XI?
Personally I think they should do that guild wars buy the game, and play as much as you want.

Assemble all server to one or two and do something for getting people to stay there.
I promise it will die out soon.

XI made/makes them the most money, they'll lose far more people than they'd bring in forcing us to pay for everything. You enjoy going into Einherjar only paying gil? You enjoy..any content using in-game means? You better get ready to break out your wallet to do those things you used to do for free.

They could make a new server or 2 free to play with DLC.

Free to play up to level 90, and only Zilart and CoP content would be cool to get new players into the game or just to experience the game it's self.

how about no? how about just getting rid of the POS console system that has been obsolete for the past 8 years? if they would drop the ps2 and work on the graphics a little the game would get a boost. honestly I dont care about FFXIV I tried it once and it sucked horribly, I will not be returning. meanwhile I have been playing XI for ten years now and if they put some effort into revamping the graphics and put some new commercials out (instead of wasting money down the sinkhole XIV has become) I really think this game could get back on top.

free to play for this is a bad idea, drop the crap console revamp the games graphics and put everything out in a MASSIVE Update Package that costs $30 along with all the expansions and see how many people come to it.

hell some music and voice acting wouldnt hurt either.



what Im saying is there are a lot of problems with FFXI, but paying to PLAY isnt one of them.

new graphics and such won't do jack to pull in and/or keep players if they don't fix fundamental flaws first.

So much is just out of whack now with various game elements, they need the revenues from subs to fix it...provided they actually will pump those profits back into XI and not other projects.

Not sure the typical F2P models out there will work with this game. It could potentially take too much away from what keeps people playing for the long haul....not to mention the impact it would have on future content additions. Quality has already been on a downward slope for quite a long time,even with all the revenues this game generates for them.

The first 3 posts look just like the first 3 posts the last time this thread was made.

worst idea ever. This would send the game further down the crapper, not make things better.
