99 Cap will change nothing if there is no new content. At 90 content is already extremely easy. A 9 level increase will do nothing to change that except for make the game easier than it already is.

Point is, we don't even know for sure that the August version update will even happen as planned, it could be delayed, plus, there is no appreciable new content planned in the current road map.

I think SE kinda secretly announced the next version update on the page that talks about the bonus wand you get if you do the POL transfer now:

Distribution

The bonus item will be distributed in a version update scheduled for September or later.

* Further information to be provided as it becomes available.
* Schedule and other details subject to change.

Basically, it's happening in September at the earliest like many people assumed since the mini update happened in July instead of June.

I wonder if you use the item to warp to the circuit, which entrance you will exit to. I mean, the area usually only allows you to exit the way you came in (i.e. Enter from south sandy, you can only exit to south sandy)

Since you came in via teleport, this has me confused.

This still sucks though, I wont be able to do any testing myself ^^;

It says somewhere in the actual Official information page of the item You'd have your choice of which area to exit.

I cant say where its listed though

Ya, thought so

If every non-JP player quit, SE would maybe lose 20% of the playerbase? As it is, fewer than half of the NA players will actually quit, so maybe 10% of the playerbase?

Depending how much infrastructure they can get rid of by moving off their current payment servers and consolidating the system with FFXIV, it may make sense for them even with a high attrition rate. This could be especially true if you consider the short-term gains they'll have for the Q3 report when people load their accounts with several months worth of Crysta. It will briefly appear that the MMO division is doing excellently, even though subscription rates have dropped.

Long-term, it's bad for FFXI and everyone that plays it. If barely-players are paying full price while doing essentially nothing, they contribute to SE's profit. SE is going to focus on improving/expanding whatever is the most profitable. Killing off FFXI's population kills off its profit margin and reduces the effort they're willing to invest in maintaining it.

Wow, that would be awesome since it exits to all 3 starter nations, Jeuno, AND Ahr Urghan! XD

Talked to my LS for an hour or two on this whole thing. General census, the end of August will be most of our last days.

I just find this 10min ago on a french FFXIV Forum, and its realy interesting about Click and Buy:



In short version and in English this mean:

-If your Original bank refuse a payement on a click and buy transaction you get 15€ + 7,5€ fee

-If you want to close your Click and Buy account its cost 15€ fee (Yeah but it was free to made it)

-If you dont use your Click and Buy account for more than 1 year you get 1€ fee per month then.

I'd like to hear more about this. If I'm suddenly forced into this to continue playing FFXI, then bye.

I don't think JP actually make up 80% of subscribers do they?
