So 1.0 owners have to start paying the monthly fee immediately?

lol Seriously though, you need to calm down. I think leaving is actually a good idea for you. You need a time-out.

What I need is a community that can register thought, digest it and respond accordingly, not regurgitate the same thought process over and over without any hint of progression whatsoever.

EDIT: Hey what do you know? You CAN post something worth the typing effort! A 2 week welcome back is what they usually do normally for any old MMO, what they have done already for both XI and XIV at certain times.

It's cool, but it's not special, and it doesn't seem like a very big gesture to entice those 1.0 players that are non FF fans. WITH phase 4 along with that though it becomes a better deal, and that's pretty much what we have to sell people on now.

We're not worried about the current XIV community, we're worried about those that are floating outside unsure of what they will find at the launch of ARR. I just hope the game wows enough that it brings in a lot more people regardless.
