You seem to have missed, or glossed over the part where I suggested Square Enix charge for the service themselves. It's a missed opportunity on their part, and if they don't take advantage of it, you know someone else will, other people probably already are.

As I mentioned, this is a pretty standard service in most modern MMO games. Final Fantasy needs to catch up to the times, particularly if it's going to remain competitive enough in sales to remain online in the coming years.

I've been watching the game's population decline at a pretty steady rate, I've been with the game pretty much since the beginning. I've even lost accounts and characters and had to start over from scratch with new characters because of the way Square Enix does its account registration. I would like the ability to merge those accounts with the new ones, now that I have found the old codes, etc.

The door for RMT is open with or without this suggestion. My request has nothing to do with RMT, it is a request for a useful and enjoyable service that would appeal to all variety of players. A service that players enjoy on many more populated MMOs.

That by itself should tell you something.
