I really wish SE would drop / reduce the XI sub for XIV players

Dont they have some bundle to sub for both games? Couldve sworn I saw something like that somewhere. /shrug

They used to, but to my knowledge there is nothing like that now.

I have hardly any reason to play XIV (and obviously, much less XI)

The people who still pay for FFXI will pay for it until they shut down the servers, the extra 200 players they would get for the package deal is probably not worth the effort.

XI is their most profitable title to date, dropping or reducing the sub would be silly.

except it is what they did from day 1

Finally, if you decide to keep your Final Fantasy XI account active, Square Enix will give you a $5.95 discount making the monthly fee for Final Fantasy XI $7.00.

Give me a CoP era server (the last time I seriously played the game) and I'll sub. That means no level sync'ing, no page burning parties, cap @75, no /dnc making solo'ing a joke. I want to grind Valkurm Dunes til my eyes bleed! /hardcore

Yeah, you clearly do not understand my point. Drop the sub if you already have an active XIV account. That ONLY means more money. Even if they made XI free for people who subbed to XIV, it would still be an overall general loss of $0.

Alternatively you could not be a cheapskate. SE is not in the business of MMO Gamer charity.

They did that day 1 in XIV 1.0 and subsequently ended that just as quickly as they started it - This isn't true as unless you're a 1.0 player you cannot get Hermes Sandals anymore.

I still pay $14.95/month for XI and 9.99 for XIV, so they most definitely do not have the dual subscription option active.

Ah, sorry you think this has anything to do with charity. This is about SE making more money, sorry you misunderstood.

They wouldn't necessarily make more money since most people playing XIV as Kiria pretty much demonstrated are well past the days of how FFXI is designed and would likely quit within a few hours.
