I left (again) 2 months ago. I came back for the free access this time again but I can't see myself playing very much this time, because I have no intention of re-subbing considering what I'll be paying for (a game with a death sentence).

So my question is this, if you did come back what would make you want to stay? These free access fortnights are an obvious lure, but if the line isn't strong enough they won't be reeling in much money from them.

For me, I would want either continued full development (Yoshida even said that the key to longevity for an mmo is CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT), a very cheap sub or free access system with a cash shop selling cosmetics. I like my waifu, yes I would buy outfits to dress her up! the point is, either I'm paying for good updates on a game with a long-life or I'm paying for cosmetics. I ain't paying for nothing because you think we are suckers.

These very regular free access fortnights show that they still want XI players money, they just don't know how to make us stay and/or don't want to spend any money to that end.

Money to me is of little concern, I'm playing a f2p game right now. I spent well over £200 last month on it buying outfits for my characters, I still refuse to pay £12 sub for a game in the state XI is in. Mainly, it's the principle.

The idea of Rhapsodies was a spectacular flop imo, it did far more damage than good to this game. when you say you want to end the game with a spectacular ending, you still just said ending.

Make me want to stay Square, I still have the desire to play it but you need to offer a better deal than you are offering right now.

I know what the player numbers are like on this game now, so more agree with this mindset than you obviously assumed would. Do something about it before it's too late.
