If we show our continued support it just might become reality lol

Though there are other incentives for SE as well. After 1.21 maybe start charging? If they make it before Christmas and quickly re-market FFXIV, they can get a heck of a lot of subs from Christmas gifts and finally start turning this game into a profitable project.

Well I think they could start charging with 1.21 if they want, with the job system/quests, all the instances added, quests/missions (company and story and job related), primal fights, escorts, combat system done with, crafting system done with among other changes, I think that is enough content to start charging to fund more content development.

That is more than enough to start charging

I think so too. Some people keeps saying they shouldn't, that the game will fail again and so on. Even right now is playable, but missing content. After 1.21, the game will be more than enjoyable to play and will have tons of things to do, more so for a new player coming in.

Honestly I think they should start charging as soon as possible and hire some more people to work on this game for that money.

I agree, after terrain gets it's redesign and all content from 1.19, 1.20, and 1.21, I think it would be viable to release the PS3 version and start charging again. Still a free month the first month for us, since our 30 day free trial technically was not used, haha.

i still think they need to implement Ah for p2p, we've grown accustom to the "bazaar" market wards but i fear it is still enough to turn away new players. i can remember if AH was confirmed and if it was if it was part of 1.20-1.21, if so then nm. The market wards were one of the poorest reviewed aspects of he game when launched and im not sure if item search counter is enough to sway people.
