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

[DeadRiser]

They've gone a year rebuilding this game and all the NEW announcements that they plan on doing with this game.. and you don't want to give them money to help make this game the game it can be? Leave then, I know I'll be here till Version 2.0 because that picture of the 3 headed dragon looks tight as f***

[Altera]

I work, i earn money, i enjoy FFXIV, ill gladly pay monthly fee. Heck even 1 trip to the cinema sets you back double of what it costs for a monthly fee, and the movie only last 90 minutes. For me, 12.99, or rather 18.99euro is good value as to what I get in return.

At least forums will be rid of some nasty trolls, cause I dont think they want to Pay To Whine. XD

Hehe, us who dont mind paying to play, will pave in a new golden age for the future of FFXIV, and then the moaning forum trolls will come back in droves. Going, yeah SWtor/GW2 did end up sucking in the end.
Just like any other overly hyped up MMOs so far. Aoc, Aion, Warhammer, Rift. All got such high ratings. But then after people got past the smoke and mirrors, they saw it for what it really was.

What I don't get is why people who don't want to pay have been playing all this time? I certainly wouldn't waste my time on something that I knew was going to be destroyed at a certain point in time. In this case a payment destroying your FFXIV character.

I'm happy to pay to enjoy content like Darkhold, Ifrit and the strongholds. I can live with the current area designs and UI for now. The advantage I will have over PS3 players in terms of levels, gear and gil makes playing worth it too.

Ok there seems to be abit of confusion here. Lets hope i can clear it up.

They are going to start charging us this year then this time next year make it free again till the release of 2.0

I for one think they should wait till patch 1.21 befor billing system so i wont be paying till the patch comes out!

[Picoman]

Im looking forward to getting rid of all the riff-raff.

[Zezlar]

Yes I wrote Lol because it deserves an lol.. This game is not worth paying for yet..
SE made out like bandits on the sales of the game alone, not to mention the horrible collectors edition everyone felt ripped off about. This game has been nothing but a weight on the shoulders of the few people who stayed around to keep it alive.
You drop one update that you separate into 2 patches and you think it's ready for billing?
Pay to play in a month? You wish..
Gonna loose half the players instantly.

Two things:

Final Fantasy XIV has about as much content now as a game should have on launch

If you or many other people quit, that still doesn't matter. The game is FREE meaning they don't make money off of you now anyways so if you leave how does that change? They'll be making money.

If your not happy. Quit and come back for 2.0 when you get a free 30 days.

We payed for the game already. It's their responsibility to provide us with a product worth the subscription. Not our responsibility to blindly give them money to support an inferior product.

Even if there's only one player left, they'll still be getting more out of it than they are now.

You forgot about FFXIV.
