FFXIV: A restriction reborn. The whole game is already locked out. I don't see why not put a lockout on that if that was a problem for them. I somehow lean to believe it's to get more money on top of a sub and not because "they don't want people to race change every month or so."

In fact, having it on an online store with no lockout, would allow players to change every month or so, while having a lockout in game would not.
