Not the time to charge, cya in 2013...

[December]

I'm proud of all you loyalists are admitting you are basically helping them fund a project.

You guys forget you are, or we are, part of a big minority in the MMO market. As far as MMOs, or even online games go, we are a very small player base. Too small. And now, SE wants to split us up again?

You do realize, that it's commonplace on the internet that everyone thinks as I do? because we are not blinded by faith? because most people who play online rpgs, or rpgs at all, would not touch FFXIV with a 10 foot pole?

You guys can huddle together and go "you go girl" to each other all you want. SE is not going to make money off of you in the next year. I can't believe you guys can go as far to say that even if ONE person pays for the subs, they make money.

You fail to realize that this is not the year that matters. It is when 2.0 launches. As of right now, FFXIV is really, really below market standards for an online only game. They took 100 steps backwards when they developed and released this game. Now, when 2.0 launches, by that time they promise it will be to market standards.

the problem I am seeing here is, I don't think anyone who are buying MMORPGs in 2012 holiday season are going to give a fuck. You don't realize how bad a bad launch for an MMORPG can be. It can be the absolute death of it from the get-go. Now, the new dev team are working extremely hard to get this game back on track, I realize that. But, another year of basically "bad" game, -and- you have to pay for it? NO ONE NEW IS GOING TO BUY THE GAME, at best in 2012, the few of us who bought this game on launch day may come back after 2.0
