one way to go F2P

One way SE can make ffxiv f2p is to limit those players to max lvl 20 and if a class is over 20 (from a sub ending and not renew), to have it lvl sync to 20. Doing so limits these players to try out the game to see if they want to continue.

Some other limits could be: can not join a FC, LS, speak in zone chat, no use of a retainer, no use of teleport. These are just some ideas, a lot of the P2P games have a similar F2P system in place.

They are planning (or already implemented) to add a Free Trial.. So screw that.

Let me put it to you simply and clearly:

NO.

Not a day has gone by yet where /shout hasn't made me counting the days until that pay wall goes up.

Realm Reborn will never go F2P and I couldn't be happier about that.

Why are you trying to find ways to make this game f2p? I bet I am not alone when I say I would not be here at all if this were a f2p game. There are enough of them out there already if that is what someone is looking for. This game is not one of them. :mad:

"READ" the post before you start trolling it

I don't know why people are coming up with new ideas for packing more people into our already overloaded servers...

SE is already a victim of their immense success with this game. Let's not make it worse by suggesting fixes to problems that don't exist.

If it goes Free to Play it loses me alltogether. Hopefully that will never happen.

That's not really f2p what you are describing is more like what WOW does with its extended trials.

I did read the post. And I'll say it again.

In case you didn't read my post which is the first post in this thread. Since your post didn't really justify that you read it.

Those restriction are all the reason I don't want it to be f2p.

I love the f2p barrier. 1.0 had an excellent community once subscription fees rolled it. F2P brings in swaths of entitled and immature players that I'd rather do without. Not saying everyone who plays free MMOs is like that, but in my experience, games with monthly subs have better players.

So........ Having a credit card suddenly makes you not entitled and mature?... Odd... How did that work out for World of Warcraft?

f2p can diaf, want ftp? go play one of the other failing games in that down trodden cesspool called f2p don't bring those self entitled freeloaders here. have some respect and pay for the game or gtfo

I would go as far as stopping at level 15. Mainly because that's when you get the airship pass and begin dungeons. Trials should only have access to at least Sastasha.

They get some story, duty finder, ability to try all classes, and access to all 3 cities. I think that would be as far as the free trial should go if they even added one like you suggest.

No access to market wards either. They couldn't sell anyway because they couldn't get a retainer that early, but not even able to buy. Too much room for abuse there. Only buys from npc's and sell only to npc's, no player trading or use of the delivery service.

I'll drop this game so quick if they go f2p. All the immature players and RMT spamming no thanks.
