Bye. See you at 2.0. You can find me on my Goobbue mount. Problem?

To be honest, I don't think the current discount will be enough to change people's views on a "subbing for a half-finished game" on news sites. If it was made cheaper (WITH the included character fee) I'd say it would make better rounds, but $9.99/month is still too much for its current status.
Of course, we're in a bit of a treehouse in these forums since a good number of us will support it regardless to help Square out. However, people outside on Teh Internets are (rightfully) slamming the game because the sub fee is still too much, some of whom were burned by the first few horrible months of gameplay. I hope this discount brings back some of them, but I don't know.
SWTOR's early access launch is right around the corner too, and I'm sure that will siphon a lot of the free players who don't post on these forums away from XIV. The only flipside is that WoW is currently losing some of its subscription base, so perhaps some of its refugees will deviate over to here. Who knows.
^^^ it's 9.99 / month until 2.0
I vote yes on server merge; mine's all but dead as it is.
