I don't remember it being "FREE". They had to make the 'SERVICE' free because the first team screwed up (or got screwed by SE admins who only looks at money, and release dates) Sorry but had to say this, hate when people think we should be happy that we get to play this game for FREE now.
    lol did i really just hear another "se made me upgrade my pc so i count it to the price i payed for ff14"

    in no way were they legally bound to drop the montly fee for the timebeing,that was just a fair move on their part.
    just to do the math, without the 1 free month you get from the purchase you would have payed 104 bucks till now or in your case 208 bucks, to keep ther severs up and running costs money too, development isnt free as well, se is paying all that out of their pocket. you think that the price of the box helped them? it was just a drop in the ocean. 80 bucks isnt that much of a deal either, most of the "blockbuster" games that come out cost that much and some are only 4 to 6 hours long, i think if you even tried to give 14 a fair chance playing wise you got your moneys worth of playtime.

    plus after the open beta it was pretty obvious that things arent going so well, so stop blameing others for your purchase decisions.

    I'll keep my mouth shut, knew this was going to happen LOL but I don't care really had to say it. At least with the other games including FF I got at least to play a fully working game that was advertised (although some just show the best CS in advertisement and thats the only best scenes you get from the game lol)

    Sure I spent the money for better graphics card, what else games did I use it for? NONE could I have bought another PC game that can use it? Sure but my main reason was only for FFXIV after playing FFXI for 6-7 years straight. Better monitor, can't argue much on that she loves it so can use for other stuff sure. 2xCE disks I'll just say it may be worth something as a good memory like I said on another thread. This game can either turn into the worste FF ever in all FF series out now, OR it can turn around and become oen of the best MMO in top3 of this year, or whatever year.
