I don't remember any F2P game even having a log in campaign like what FFXI has, but okay. If you want to feel F2P, play XIV. Come back here and tell us it still feels like F2P just because of a log in campaign. We've been getting freebies for a few years now in various ways. Calling it F2P though is a bit harsh when they are only trying to do everything but merge the servers again because that would only lead to more departures as people quit over congestion. I know I've said it a few times now that I feel people are done leaving the game post XIV release, but that doesn't mean they can't throw their arms up in defeat because of severe congestion just so some soloer can shout once in a blue moon for help on something that will probably still go unanswered because many are anal about their time(me included, I'm not a angel)

That's just my take on it. When I go to XIV it's just so mind numbingly easy and simple and my hand is held 110% and just has no challenge whatsoever that resorts to insane fast paced battles that rely on memorizing patterns. I have a more interesting and satisfying time grinding Qaaxo and Xaddi drops off delve NMs to catch my characters up to at least basic 119 gear than I do whatever F2P style BS they come up with for XIV.
