Lol starting to bill us in November for this game..

[Rankin]

Will not be paying sorry its stupid to pay fora unfinished game I check it out when the "actual" game releases next year back to eve online for me

[Korbei]

They say between late November and early December. It looks like they'll actually start billing in January, which would make more sense to me. No one is going to pay for this game in November. Far too many other high profile titles coming out in November specifically.

For me, payment is out of the question this year. Too many other games in the next 2 months. If they're going to charge, I'll consider it in January.

im sorry, though with all that info and stuff im SUPER excited for the games future (heck i ene started logging on once in a while now) but to charge almost a year before some of the MAJOR changes is just foolish and asking for a very large portion of your audience to flat out forget the game and maybe not come back when its truely ready to be played (aka. version 2.0)

will i pay 13$ a month for what still really a beta...not likely. there is still too many basic functions that suck or need to be added. I just cant belive they would tell you "hey the game will be totally awsome and revamped next year will all new graphics, world, races, classes..ect....but can you pay us while we fix it for the next year...thanks!"

if you think the already pretty small playerbase on each server will NOT drop drasically when they charge, your living in a dream world.....time to wake up.

il pay when its the game you as the new devs intended it to be.....FFXIV version 2.0

You don't pay for something that you don't feel it's worth.

I don't bother with things that aren't worth my time.

FFXIV is worth my time obviously (and yours if you got at least one class to 50), but it's not worth your 12 dollars? I don't understand that. Do you normally waste a lot of your time doing things that are worthless to you?

when it goes from free entertainment to entertainment you pay for their is a big difference, especially when they want you to pay for a game thats truly still in beta until some of these obvious major changes come 2.0

the servers are going to take a HUGE hit if they go ahead with charging that soon.

FFXIV 2.0 looks really promising. I don't understand though why I am being asked to pay for a game which will essentially not exist in a years time. The new game will be exactly that, a new game. Why am I being asked to pay to be a beta player. SE says it has 250 people working on the project. Well to be honest they have thousands more that are beta testers, us. And we are to pay to be beta testers? I'm sorry but no. I played xi for years, I stuck by this since launch. I invested heavily in a new rig to play it. Like most of us I have a real love for FF mmo's but this is something I don't feel I can support. I don't begrudge paying to play a game, but not under these circumstances.

Its baffleing to say the least.

This game has been nothing but a weight on the shoulders of the few people who stayed around to keep it alive.

This sentence alone makes this thread best in the recent history.

For being a "weight on their shoulders" they sure put time and effort into this game just to "keep it alive". How does that even work? You sure as hell aren't paying them a dime. You are using their service and that doesn't help them in the slightest.

People play this game because they like playing it. For some who knows what reason- don't ask me. Nobody forces them to stick around. They aren't obliged to stick around. They do it because they enjoy the game.

Mask it behind "helping SE" or whatever bullshit reason you can come up with, but nobody plays this for anyone but themselves.
