[Billing] The Price of Loyalty

Yeah lol I spent over 20 hours trying to get the game to play. SE said, "Nope."

Just making sure...a lot of people dont seem to realize that lol >_>

Yeah, and most banks do not even offer it. You have to actually activate it yourself in most cases which means going to a ssl site from visa or mastercard and inputting your information on record so it can confirm who you are and then process you and then it confirmed by visa marks your card for online purchases. If you never did this SE would never take it.

Short answer: Yes.

Auto attack, no auto attack, class changes, no class changes, as is, and what it will be, whether I'm on one day a month or forty hours a week, I will remain a subscriber at this time.

Am I delusional? Yes. I've held onto this twisted vision of what the next Final Fantasy online game should be. This is not it. I would have stayed onboard to see where Tanaka goes. BUT I'm even further intrigued by Yoshi-P's character and direction. The one thing (within a spectrum of feasible events) that would make me unsubscribe is if my account was somehow compromised, lost all my character data and GMs don't allow recovery, or straight up banned without appeal.

Probably will edit more with downtime. See ya!

Edit: PrettyPrincess, I would have too lol!

Edit: /wave Mega Man Haha! I sees U!

Continuation: I saw how this game was in Open Beta. I was not satisfied then and considered its direction. Even so, I had Kefka-like levels of Faithra and signed up for six month subscription. I still want this game to add content. I still want the game to evolve. But the development road they take, I'll stick with them. One more thing that would cause me to quit within reason. If my payment methods are not accepted due to a change in how Squenix does billing (like accepting a Prepaid Visa card and not allowing me to change to another card when the prepaid runs out of funds, even after talking to support several times), then I will dishearteningly quit.

There is that little tidbit as well. Luckily USAA has that so I just went on their site directly and activated it and my card continued to work after that.

ALTHOUGH if you have a debit card from ssfcu it can be a bit more...difficult to activate. Their system seems to screw up for me every time I try and get the secure code on my card so I have to go in personally and have a representative activate it for me >_>

Yeah my bank does it for you when you sign for the card in person, but the card I was using for XI at the time was old so i had to activate it myself.

If see the changes I hope for I will.

As far the FFXI secure code goes there is a way around that. Just log in on someone's xbox FFXI account and activate it through that. It doesn't ask for the secure code that way. I used my sons xbox game to activate mine.

I would pay as long as the updates came frequently, and the direction of the game was a positive experience. I would rather donate to the cause and help make FFXIV a success, then watch it burnout.

Considering in two months they are releasing the overhaul to the battle system and adding that dungeon to the game, yes, I would pay.

i'd probably be 50 50. not sure yet would have to see where they are at. at worse i'll just close my account till it worth paying monthy. i don't have the money to waist while waiting for them to get there shit together. guess i was spoiled in the concept that na ps2 had a full game with a full expansion at launch. think they need to make all mmo launches with that much content or bust.

but yeah if they fix alot of the stuff or not my biggest problem is ease of playing, aka server population, so fix everything don't fix everything i still can't do things in game the way i want to. and that's when where and how, not during certain hours, not when a group finally logs in, but right at the second i feel like putting a leve group or party sp grind together.

we'll have to see how much they add into the game, i'd probably pay for a month or 2 just to see the new content at launch if there is some. if it's all prelaunch patched then i'd probably spit threw it and take a nice break like we got now. my monies ain't going no where it don't deserve. :)
