UK players will be paying $5 more than US players SE please sort this !!!

Hi everyone

Lets look at a few of these prices shall we

UK players will be paying £9.99 for the basic service

EU players will pay E9.99 (don't have a euro key)

US will pay $9.99

So let me now stick these prices into XE currency converter and see the difference in dollars. (2 decimal places)

£9.99 = $15.60 (UK)
E9.99 = $13.37 (EU)
$9.99 = $9.99 (US)

SE this is ludicrous

as a UK player i am paying 1.5x the price for the EXACT SAME SERVICE.

Also it is false advertising the game does not cost $9.99 to a UK person but $15.60

pricing should be based on international currency rates and fair trade policy !!!


This is how the pricing system should look !!

UK - £6.40
EU - E7.47
US - $9.99

Simply allow us to pay in dollars and this solves the problem !! as the banks (lazy sods) will convert it for you !.

Sasa

lol, where on earth did you pluck these numbers from?

Here it is based on a 30 day period...
UK = £4.79 + £2.10 = £6.89
EU = 6.99euro + 3.00euro = 9.99euro
US = $6.99 + $3.00 = $9.99

At least get your numbers right if you gonna use it as basis for a whine lol

lol it wasnt a whine where did you pick your uk numbers from I got mine from the service account manager section

um.....

http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...yopemeopw.html

mine says basic service £6.89 + £2.10 = £9.99

still says

basic service rates $6.99 + $3.00 character.

It doesnt show me any numbers in pounds or Euros

£6.89 is inclusive of 1 character, any additional characters are £2.10 each :)

Says this on the lodestone link :)

We wont be charged in dollars like you think !

We will be charged in our own currency as far as i am aware its 9.99 for 30 days across the board

lol I cant see the english prices

I expect if there is a discrepancy in the acct manager, it just hasnt been updated yet. Seems as though they are adding a link to the FFXIV login page on the 16th Dec. Expect everything to be rattled out before that date :)

well either way conversion from USD 9.99 to UK GBP is £6.40

including a character

but according to my lodestone account and square enix acount manager they will charge me £9.99

which is not £6.40

we will have to wit and see but my gut feeling is telling me its going to be £9.99

I just hope I can pay in dollars !

I have no idea where you are seeing these costs, i cant find it anywhere on my account to try and confirm what you say....

^THIS is what I'm angry about.
Why are English and American players paying ~$10 while people from EU pay ~$13?

@Sasagawa:
It says £6.89 on the information page.
One character is already included, so it equals roughly $10.
