If we assume that afk mules/players from each region are proportional to the height of the graph at that region's primetime on this graph, I don't think it's unreasonable to claim JP players are 3/4 of the population. Minorities get shafted, news at 10.

I don't know about that. I already got a bunch of friends who have left here to play Rift. With other MMO's coming out with a lot to offer and with as much crap as SE has put its loyal fans through the last year or so, I would say this could be the breaking point for quite a few. I know it is for me. If something doesn't change, Rift will be my new MMO. Star Wars Old Republic is looking great as well. With the 99 cap looming with nowhere to go from there (no new expansions and such) what's left?

When is someone going to address our concerns?

Most people cannot use your system.
Some cannot even use Crysta like my friend in Australia.

You are completely screwing over the people who make it possible for all of YOU to have a PAYCHECK.

Its time to respond to our concerns. I promise you that this thread will top 100 pages by halfway through August. And people will only get angrier.

That spike is at JP midnight EU prime and early morning NA. I think that has more to do with the overlap than the number of JP players. That's just when we are all awake. I can't Imagine JP making up much more than half the subscribers.

Considering this thread hit 27 pages in a day. I don't doubt this one bit.

I'd also say a larger number of NA players keep themselves logged in indefinitely.

After 8 years of playing this game, im being forced to quit, none of my CC works with C&B service and i wont set a PayPal account to add Crysta, it was a fun ride but I'm out.

I refuse to pay clickandbuy.com. Shame on SE for preventing players to enjoy their services. Unless SE does something about this ie;

a) Make Crysta in the amounts required for monthly subscription, instead of their pre-defined amounts. And make it available for all countries.

b) Allow Direct Payment again via CC.

c) Drop clickandbuy like last weeks garbage and pick a reputable provider like paypal in which they can direct charge my CC.

Hopefully SE will get a clue instead of alienating their player base.

Yeah not liking Click and Buy for the only option to pay by Credit Card, is there some reason we have to use this service and Japan doesn't?

I had problems with Click and Buy when I signed up with Final Fantasy XIV, that was one of the major faults I had with that game and now it's on Final Fantasy XI... might be time to find another game.

The longer this goes neglected and left in silence, the more this is going to happen.

We can talk made-up numbers all day, but I guarantee that this ridiculous, unnecessary, untrustworthy, and inconvenient change is going to produce a significant number of dropped subscriptions. Sadly, knowing SE, we probably won't see a real response until this takes effect in a couple of months and they see just how devastating of a mistake they've made.

It seriously feels like Square-Enix has been a sinking ship for the better part of the last ten years, and that they're so out-of-touch now that they seem to be purposefully sabotaging what little successes they have left to lean on. Not only can they not make an acceptable game anymore, but they can't even keep themselves from ruining what they have left.
