Can you update subscription option?

Hi there.

I am wondering if either a community member or a moderator can answer my question. I signed up for cheaper of the two subscriptions, but I would I like to upgrade to the one which allows two different characters to be on the same server. Do I have to wait till my subscription runs out?

Thanks.

A bit off topic but would SE an hourly rate subscription?

I imagine you will have to wait as subscriptions once started can't be changed. For example, in FFXI each character is paid for separately and when you cancel one it only ceases to be playable once the current sub. expires. While FFXIV is a different game with separate subs. I expect the underlying payment system is the same and the rules common to both games.

I think it inconceivable SE would do this, for many practical reasons and ultimately what benefit would it be to them? No MMO I know of has an hourly rate, probably for the same reasons.

That is how games in internet cafes work. The thing is most of these games aren't run by the parent company themselves but by another company that paid licensing fees.

You can't just throw down a quarter and claim a computer for half the day. What you can do is buy a timecard in advance and only be charged for the time played. The timecard is usually much more than one would pay for a subscription, though.

You can change your type of subscription any time you want. I mean if you did for example 6 months and you want to change to month what will happen is after those 6 months you paid will start to do as monthly and vice versa.
