Did you know ?

That when you cancel your account, your game access is suspended immediately? Can't even play out the rest of your paid-for subscription. I thought that was interesting, and I can't think of another game that functioned this way.

As a sort-of aside : Japanese games confuse me as of late. So far I have played several eastern-developed MMOs and they have all taken an extremely haughty "we know what's best" stance toward their playerbase in many aspects. Is this a cultural difference? I have always heard that Japanese service culture is extremely polished but don't get that feeling from the MMOs I've played.

Edit - I actually cancelled the auto-renewal instead, because that statement intimidated me (which I'm sure it was meant to do). I do like the game, the crafting, the aesthetics. Will wait another 6 months (if I am MMO-homeless/ESO disappoints me) to see where this game has headed and see if it's more my "thing".
