    Why 14,99 $?

    I mean, I understand that FFXIV doesn't want to hit the F2P road yet, but why 14,99?
    Why doesn't this or any other P2P game apply a lower fee? It's there some market rule out there of which I have not been informed who forces them to have exactly that price?
    Wouldn't it be more right 9,99? Or even 7,99?
    They are forced Worldwide to not compete against each other or what?
    It seems it's either nothing or 14,99. I don't get it.

    It's been what, 10 years since Vanilla Wow?
    The MMOs changed since then.
    Why prices didn't?

    If you can't afford 14.99 a month, MMORPG's are the least of your problems...

    If you take into account inflation, the sub price should actually be higher. I'm happy with it staying where it is.

    I was about to mention this. I'm sure you were too young to remember, but pretty much everything was massively cheaper before the 90's. Having the price hold static for 10 years is a good thing.

    Also, quit demanding the price to be lower. It's not a right, it's not a huge convenience, and you having this doesn't better society. Also, if the 8 dollar jump from 7/month to 15/month is a game changer for you, you need to evaluate your finances.

    I'm not exactly sure what's wrong with 14.99$? It seems cheap to me.

    I think they should raise the price to $15.

    The higher the fee, the more the company is able to hire quality staff for content expansion. They just need to find a balance where they can pump out decent content, and one where subscribers can still afford.

    More profit for them. There was an interview on ign weeks ago about the same thing. Basically half of it goes to operation costs the rest is pure profit.
