Letter is up, go read it boys and girls

[Rizon]

From the letter:

Some of you are probably wondering, when exactly will billing commence? There’s no need to worry here, as the extended free trial period won’t end until 1.20 has been out for a while. We’ll have the details of billing, including the fee, ready to announce by early December, so please sit tight for just a while longer.

Giving us the hint that they may not be charging full price right away?

Is there a reason that people are so afraid of tradition these days? I'm generally curious.
Over all I like most of the changes that are coming, this seems to be a good groundwork patch.

A healthy respect for tradition is not the same as a fear of progress or complete obstinacy in the face of change.

See: the new Muppet movie for instance... Perfect example of the right balance between "now and then"

Tradition is fine, and it's not like chocobos are going away or won't be getting a lot of love and attention in the future. (At least, no one's said anything about custom goobbue armor, or different colored goobbue yet.) My comment was just a response to the verbal stamping of the foot, "that's just the ways things have been, and that's just how they should always be."

That being said, I'd like to know how the story will progress with us getting a tamed monster to ride. Chocobos have always been in Final Fantasy so they don't have to spend much time, if any, explaining them away. Any new mounts will need to have some type of back story. Otherwise, if it's not going to make sense, I just want a car mount.

Sorry, I do not understand the rage over this patch content. This is everything that they said that they were going to do in the roadmap........plus some.

Shut down command is full of win. 3 new emotes wont hurt. Buying from item menu is good. Able to select multiple items is good. Ability to leave town on personal chocobo is win. Trying to name a few things I didn't see ppl post about. Finally delay doesn't bother me as I wasn't expecting it this month anyway. Also 1.20 will be out for a while before they charge so I thinking sometime in January is when that takes place. Can we now relax about paying now? Some of you never intend to pay no matter what they do so enjoy swtor and let that be the end of it. For those that actually play the 7th umbral quests begin this patch yay!!!

so besides the moogle fight there really isnt much there for actual content. As much as i like all the other fixes, my huge issue with the game is having little to do. So its getting delayed (mainly because...well shit servers excuse) and really people will be bored as shit after a week of this patch, then we get to start paying......yah i just cant pay for content that will be completed to death in max 48hrs.

the major part of the patch is the class/battle reform, the PC search and the market ward search, that is all major work then in 1.21 we get jobs. after that it will mostly be content is my guess. but te major changes that in in 1.20 is what was needed most
