For those people that keep repeating this: WoW still has 10 million subscribers and they have been double-dipping for years.
Not defending it, just saying people are more than willing to pay extra for fluff items despite the fact they are paying a monthly fee. By no means is it an indication that the game is going downhill or that it will go F2P. Simply an indication that companies can and will take advantage of the fact that people will blindly throw money at something just because it's there.

For those people that keep repeating this: WoW is the only current themepark MMO that's both sub only and also has a cash shop. Every other themepark/WoW clone, such as ARR, that implemented a cash shop while they also had a sub didn't last long as P2P afterwards, and ARR more than likely won't either.
i see we went from "oh shit marriage will cost money" to "its going f2p" in 2 pages...im actually impressedFor those people that keep repeating this: WoW is the only current themepark MMO that's both sub only and also has a cash shop.

Thanks for that, I heard them talk about Platinum but missed the context.Three options are Free, Gold (pay) and Platinum (pay more).
Both paid ones come with extra items like a special Draught Chocobo and some other costumes, though I don't think they specified which one comes with what or if both do, free one comes with nothing else except the wedding itself.
I'm still going at this from the eye of a skeptic until we get pricing/finalization. From what I'm seeing English speakers aren't the only ones upset about there being pay options and it's common knowledge that they tend to listen more to their JP fanbase than everyone else.




It's going downhill as a game. I know that there's people willing to throw thousand of euros to a cash shop, but such a game (and company) wouldn't be remembered as a good one by most players, specially when doing things like these.For those people that keep repeating this: WoW still has 10 million subscribers and they have been double-dipping for years.

All the goodwill and respect that SE won by redoing the game, they're losing it with their double-dipping. Congrats if it works for them, but they can be damn sure that if they flop again in the future people won't be as willing to give them a third chance and support them.



Yes, but I'm sure a lot of people are on FFXIV because it was (at first) the only MMO without cancer, I mean Cash shop. So if our precious game is the same as others and our devs keep messing with what they put in it (Hunt, Personal housing, Chocobo stable, Gardening, ect), their customers will just go on an other game.For those people that keep repeating this: WoW still has 10 million subscribers and they have been double-dipping for years.
