Australia & EU Region Subscription Costs

[Kazielle]

Thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention. It's a MASSIVE issue.

I hope you don't mind, I cross-posted this onto the Reddit FFXIV subforum (with credit to your username). Let me know if you want to take it down, but I thought it was important that the issue get as much exposure as possible!

Cant you buy a game time card in your local currency. Or from either US or UK game store?

Buying in Australia, a 60-day card is AU$39.95, so it's roughly the same as the current EUR rate. (Technically a teensy bit more expensive.)

I'm more than happy for you to spread the word

they make game cards for SE services? huh... learned something new.

Would definitely be lovely if they make the prices comparable and/or allow the use of other currencies...

Wonder how they might approach this?

I would gladly pay USD over the Euro at the moment, even with the USD becoming more stronger(yesterday it was 1AUD = 0.86USD and 1AUD = 0.67EUR). I would like to see an AUD subscription rate since we're already over paying for everything here.

I agree this needs to be fixed. I don't understand why we can't pay a flat AU dollar rate.

I was looking forward to the $12.99/month, but if I end up paying alot more due to stupid conversion factors I guess I'll be stopping once my free 30 days is up. Game cards from EB Games or JB Hifi is not an option when the cost is near the same.

Are we forced to pay in euros? I can't find any info on how to change the currency method for the fees. Absolutely retarded if that's the case.

omg first they wont let us in the damn servers and now this crap, SE seems to be trying to knock EAgames off the top of the worst company of 2013

I'm surprised this thread doesn't have more posts.. I guess most Aussies haven't gone to pay their subscription yet. give it a few weeks and the rage will be tenfold. You can't expect people to pay $20 a month when it costs $14 to play wow. SE needs to address this or they will see a drop in members. Sigh am I the only one who is tired of Aussie internet/video game discrimination. We never get dedicated servers, always have to play on high pings, get games released later than everyone else, always have to pay in foreign currency and always get stuck with maintenance in peak hour.

I am absolutely loving this game and am more than happy to pay for it. But I don't think I should be forced to pay more than other countries.
