Which is exactly what happens with every MMORPG out there. The main purpose of monthly fees in every MMORPG is to fund further development and generate profits.Quote:

10-15-2011, 06:16 AMHachikoAs irritating as it is to see new threads like these, I think we kind of do. Some people will support any decision SE makes. I think this should at least inform SE in a way that is like "HEY, you need to improve some foundational elements of your game before you start charging."Quote:

10-15-2011, 06:18 AMDecemberNo, I'm sorry, I don't think every MMORPG starts out with the Publisher and developer stating that they are aware the game is garbage and give a free year of play-testing.Quote:

HI GUYS I'M JUST HERE TO TELL YOU THAT I AM QUITTING THE GAME.
W-WHAT? YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME? WELL WHY NOT?
I understand why a bunch of people are going to quit, and why they're uneasy about this. Really, I do. I'm rather wary about spending money on an unfinished product myself. But come the fuck on, you don't need to make this thread every 20 minutes. -

It's obviously not solid, or else we wouldn't be getting this year-long content overall plan presented to us to keep us playing. I'm pretty sure Yoshi admitting that the game is 50% complete is proof enough that he agree it isn't solid as well. I'm also aware that Yoshi has nothing to do with the sub's being enforced upon the players.Quote:

I don't care about the characters that I have right now because when 2.0 rolls around I will be re rolling again anyway. I have been much higher rank than 13 and have logged plently of hours into FFXIV over the past year.. (leveling is not all you do in this game either).Quote:

I really want it to succeed. I really want more games like FFXI, EverQuest, and now FFXIV to be competitive on the market.
