How long are players staying subbed?

[Roris]

Got 6 months at launch, only really enjoyed about 2 months after launch and about a month and a half after 2.1, the rest was just content grinding or really nothing else to do. Only subbing for 1 month the very first day 2.2 hits since my sub ends a week before it'll most likely release, then we'll see. The only thing that would have made me consider a bigger sub again was Musketeer but that looks like it won't be happening anytime in the near feature. Thanks for reading my forum blog post.

At the begining of the game people usualy tell me.

You rush the game dude, what they meaning by this, doing my cap was rushing the game for them, they was casual so i understand them very well, but later when they was like me, they doing the same has me, so fast cap, so fast bahamuth, yes now the casual friend i get was experienced, and they see clear on it, they can do all the content in one or two day, i mean people who work and play only a little, and my casual friend tell me they have nothing to do too.

So this is funny to see the people who allway try to find excuse, you rush the game, with your stuff this is normal you can do all in three hours, so i must be sorry to play well the game and do the thing good ? Sure if i wipe everyday and play bad, the game got a better life duration, but this is a false life duration, if you play good, never wipe, all are fast. So now i meet no people who can't cap every week, a friend of me who was at work all the week, come sunday and done 450 myth in 2 hours, while dungeon, he is a awesome casual. So people who are happy to have nothing to do, i can't understand them, what they do, they throw the content away every update, nice for people like me who have farm 6 month for be how i am, the truth is if i joined the game in 2.2 i would be like i am in one week, yep because all the invisible barrier who block me, cap, bahamuth only one time per week, one loot per week CT. All this thing gone. And for another token cap, and another dungeon. This is a an infinite spiral, and how find the motivation to do again all those thing, to be sure all the content i do in 2.2 will be throw away in 2.3 ? Aren't be better i play the game in version 3.2 and i can do with no limit all the content before and join my friend back in like one week, when they took them 1 year to be full stuff. That realy what i think. I hope you have understand everything i wanted to say

Personally, I only do a 30 day sub, because I often get bored before the sub expires. In other mmorpgs, I can play continuously for months; the only reason I go on break is when exams or other rl stuff comes around (Not so much boredom, I mean, I still play XI, been recurring since October I believe). I can only speak for myself, but I did notice (Upon my 4ish month hiatus) that a great deal of individuals whom I played with were M.I.A. XIV just feels like an offline game imo, in terms of replay value that is ( get bored after a a week or two, come back a couple months and so on). I am getting bored of XI though, but with the delve/job system content coming up, I might stick around. Hopefully 2.2 draws me in XIV; but this game has lost my interest after beta (I guess it was just something new that appealed to me). XI is not perfect, but imo, they do a good job of prolonging old washed up content, lol (The bst adjustments were awesome).

I have been doing a monthly sub since the end of October.
I am enjoying it so far, and as of right now I have no intention to cancel.

I'm subbed for a year. I don't play as much as the coil players but I assume at this rate there will be enough endgame stuff next year to go all out with pursuing all that. For now I'm leveling my crafts and pretty much waiting for patches to bring more stuff to do.

I feel like after I capped my first 50 there's not really a reason to leave town ever so that kind of open world mid level stuff is content that I'm waiting for the most. Otherwise leveling all battle classes now would feel like a waste.

[slipmac]

this is the first time i actually subed for 2 months. everytime before that i would never do more then a month at a time.
i only did that cuz a friend asked me to come play. im really not a big fan of movement based battles. i been bitching about more strat based combat since 2011. so it depends. will i sub again? will se actualy earn it? or will my friend save you again.

[Cons]

Subbed for 3 months now, wont quit even though I see problems, I continue to support SE because the game is worth supporting

[Ruenis]

Has been subbing since arr starts. Will keep subbing until forever or new ff online game emerges (on console), just becausee i can.

I'm really liking this game, I enjoy playing with my boyfriend and all the people I met in game. I was interested in some other games, but not so interested that I'd turn my sub off or stop playing this. I'm looking forward to personal housing coming out, new dungeons, new hairstyles.. little nickknacks like that. Also chocobo raising. This is my first FF online game and I'm having a blast so far. It had a rough start with all the server issues but I think its smoothing out. I am however, a little worried about personal housing prices since I was nearly blown away by FC prices but I think even if I can't get a personal house, I may at the very least max all my crafts and jobs to 50 before I think about retiring my character.

I love collecting the cute minions <3

We have recently had a sizeable chunk of our FC abandon the game to go over to TESO.


This is what happens with all MMORPGs. They launch, they are filled with tons of people... a shiney new AAA MMORPG launches, a bunch of people leave.


My advice... don't focus on the people who left, focus on the people who are still around. Life is much more fun that way.
