As a FFXI subscriber the vast amount of your sub fee goes to pay for FFXIV development, nothing is going to change on that till they can start charging a fee for it. In the mean time FFXI is taking the financial hit for it.

It's wrong and pretty rude of them to do it the way they are but they are going to do it anyway, it's the only way they can keep FFXIV running free and put a lot of resources into it. It's pretty disgusting really, FFXI is still a fairly successfull MMO with still has one of the largest monthly subscriptions userbases and we get treated with content that MMOs with vastly fewer players get.

That's Square all over though.

Do you think it's possible to apply as a Dev over at the El Segundo building? Hell, even VOLUNTEER!? I'm sure you can whip up some of the local knowledgeable player base within the immediate vicinity (I'm sure it's few who have the abilities) that can head over and help out. Parking's not bad and it's by a metro station.

It really is just rude and frankly dumb to alienate your fans of 8+ years, because you screwed up on another game. FFXI is a great game it really is, but it could be so much more than it is right now if given the proper direction.
