Thoughts on a shared subscription?

[Stuzey]

I'm not sure if you know, but they had shared subscriptions when FFXIV was released, I have the link here, it offered a discount if you purchased both

They stopped it, I think when FFXIV got canned for ARR, maybe before.

While I probably wouldn't use it, as I never got on with FFXIV, of course I would support it, FFXI would be the main beneficiary, bringing more people back who have jumped ship.

I remember way back, when they were developing FFXIV (Or Rapture as it was known), there was some talk of linking the games, so you could chat between them, but they never went through with this, shame....

A decent amount of people on the FFXIV forums are saying a shared sub would kill FFXI (somehow) Which makes no sense to me since more players would help the game.

The logic is because they'd probably get a little less money from a lot of existing players who have had accounts for both for a long time. But there are also those who have never tried one (or the other) and might be more motivated to if it didn't cost as much.
