Donate Gil to the Japan Earthquake Relief Fund

[Starcade]

Gil is a virtual item and does not affect reality in any such way.

However, I think it'd be great if they opened up a way for us to donate money. Real life money.

This is not what the OP had in mind I think, but this is something I posted somewhere -- maybe in this thread.

I believe there should be a gil-based way to donate, because there are many FFXI players who cannot afford to donate as much as they'd either probably like or have necessary to really help out.

My idea would be that, once (and, frankly, if) everything is stable enough that the game can continue, Square-Enix partners with a number of other companies, and an in-game event is created where players can donate gil to Moogles (say, even make this part of the 9th Anniversary, which would, if this thing goes a month or six weeks, effectively BE the re-launch) or buy special items (be they furnishings or semi-desireable lower-level gear), with the gil proceeds being put in to a pot, where X amount of gil means a donation to the relevant charities.

500,000g wating in my pocket to be sent to any account SE deems responsible. I would like to nominate myself as an Ideal candidate for recieving funds and listing the amount of gil sent and what player sent it .

But seriously, I am not going to miss the April fees, It's already in the my budget, so why not put them towards the relief?

And as for sending gil to SE, Well, since Enix have their pockets lined with gold, how about they donate as much yen as we donate gil? I would like to see that.

I don't think they have as much "gold" in their pockets as you think -- I still think, though, that an effort to allow players who can't necessarily afford direct cash donations would be a good idea, as long as they end up in repositories that Square-Enix can track, like when they track the amount of Mog Bonanza gil.
