    I've always been confused they've not done this. Yoshi-P has famously said that if you're bored between patches, go play another game. SE have another MMO and offering a discount might keep all the money with them rather than some of it going elsewhere.

    Whilst it's old and a very different style, I can say from experience it is still possible to get enjoyment from it as a new player, and if you get you and 2 or 3 real life or FC buddies and you all switch games at the same time it could be good fun.
    At the least I would have thought an active FFXIV subscription would get you a free 30 day trial (I dont think FFXI has one does it?)

    I am one of those. I recently played XI (couple of months ago) when I was taking a ahort break from XIV (just logging in for tomestones and weeklies) and I had a blast! Very fun game, nice community. It's slow and it takes a bit to fet used to its terrible old UI but it's a great game. Finished a couple of expansions but my subscription died past the middle point of Chains of Promathia. (I love Prishe).

    I'd be down for a subscription bundle.

    Aye, I did a stint on it...probably a year ago, maybe a bit more. Got to level....52 I think, started various expansions. A friend who played it as his first MMO back when it was still quite new (and it nearly scarred him for life and stopped him playing MMO's :-D ) has recently decided to give it a go again as a change of pace from FFXIV, so i'm back on going through stuff with him. Tonights goal - get him to Norg and his first Rhapsody! :-)
