[Billing] The Price of Loyalty

This is probably the poll question Squenix won't ask for various reasons.

If Squenix started billing as early as May, would you still be a subscriber? If the answer is no, then why?

It is dangerous to go alone. Take this.

May? Yes most likely. That is if they have given us the full run down of future updates and an outline of changes being made to classes and combat. If I feel the changes they announce are satisfactory I'd be willing to up my sub and keep playing. If I feel they are not then I will not.

In general, if the game was not fixed by then, I would say no. However, I happen to remember 11 going through similar (maybe not as extreme) stages of suckage and getting really good. I happen to have the disposable income to spend. I happen to believe the game will get better. I happen to want to be along for the ride so that seven or eight years from now, I can reminisce with all the old timers about the good 'ole days, back when men were real men, not man'qote! Etc., etc., et. al.

no. the game is in no way ready to even be released at this point. this game has already mentioned major changes upcoming and some of us will be leaving depending on what changes are made and what they want. i personally would not start paying for a game i do not know if it will be a game worth playing in the future. between the severe lack of content to keep people involved and the lack of overall players to keep the game going i would not waste my money on a game that has already alienated the majority of players.

Hmmm, I probly won't because I don't think the game is ready for subscription yet. I am subscribed to XI and would just keep a close eye on XIV until its up to my standards.

I am mainly looking for a game that helps build kindness and friendship among the players in the community which means more group based activities and as of now its only Leves that give that.

I'd probably bail to since I don't see this game being subscirption worthy til around summer or fall. More than likely the latter.

We didn't even get XI stateside for a year and ahalf after it was retail. So they had a year + an expansion worth of updates to make it palatable for US consumption. I'm kinda starting to wish they had done the same with XIV.

When XI first came out it was the same level of train wreck if not worst that XIV was in September.

If you take history into account then the game should be ready by December or January?

To be honest I'd pay now if I could >.>

Fiosha share your buffs with me! D:

Depends on how they make the experience for me. After the first month or two of playing XIV I decided to pick up XI and give that a go instead. I never played it because they would not accept my debit card.

I checked the box and met, no, EXCEEDED all their requirements and still could not play after paying for the game. Nobody within their company would help me. I researched online and quite a few people had the same experience I did. SE is a terrible company. They effectively stole $10 from me with nothing in return. I threw XI in the garbage because nobody deserved that kind of treatment.

EDIT: omg /wave Fio! *blush*

Just because I have to ask...you do know for XI to accept your card, it has to have the Visa/Master Card Secure Code setup right?
