Give ff14 a single player mode?

You took up xi earlier ...

Now im gonna tell you a truth, so scary that you're gonna pee your pants!

Xi started out much worse than ffxiv.

The reason xi survived was that people tried giving it a chance, for two years!

Meaning that if the game attracts payable customers in less than a year from now, it will have done better than xi.

About 50/50 would pay as of right now it seems. Those who say they wont play normally got no characters over lvl 10.

Would you pay if it became p2p now?

im lower level than you, but most likely, ive played more, cause i find it fun just running around and dfoing random shit. Would you pay if it became p2p?

no it did not
and also there was almost no competition at the time so even though ffxi had a rocky start there was no other alternatives.
By the time zilart came out a year-ish after release FFXI was great.
and then COP took it to a whole new level.

But FFXI relied on NA PC release for a huge population boost and then ps2 and xbox releases for huge boosts.

This game has ONE more chance. ps3 release. And PS3 has lost a lot of ppl cuz of the whole network failure thing and now forcing ppl to say they wont sue.

Further FFXI had fresh reviews which were -very- positive on NA release. This game will -never- get fresh reviews. Its 5.0ish average will haunt it for years, especially on the meta-review sites that average out all the reviews.

and no offence but i seriously doubt you've played more. I was the only real person to release as solo guide at release and after 1.18 so i've literally killed every mob in the game. I've pretty well experianced everything in this game.

And no i probably wouldn't pay .

the xiv now, got more players than the xi then (one year old) had. The game got about double he population afterr the last patch. It might even double again after the next one. No matter where you go you always will see people, you can always join a random party. If your in uldah, not 10 minutes goes without someone shouting for grind party.

if you say this is because its f2p then something must be wrong with your head. People dont play a game BECAUSE its f2p.

why wouldn't se charge for the game if they know that no one would quit? They would actually be legally obligated too since they are a corporation and a corporations job is to make a profit for its shareholders....
