How do you restore trust?

[Train88]

Assuming they make a game better than everything out there and nobody knows but us. How would they get around that?

This game has a terrible reputation. Not only do they need to fix the cause of that. They also need to fix the effects of it.

Am i making sense here?

I raise a legitimate question and hope for constructive input.

I get "this" for an answer. Calling me a troll?

The irony is collosal.

Isn't that for people who don't have active subscriptions? or does that limit new players too?

At OP, it may largely depend on reviewers and magazines providing good coverage of it to get people to return and perk the ears of newer payers. Word of mouth with preferences and biases like ours nets the current community.

Only players who haven't logged into the game in 30 days are affected

SE just needs to keep coming out with awesome content and continue to learn from their mistakes rather than repeat them. Once the game goes Pay-to-Play and PS3 version hits, we'll see even more people log into the game (even with caution) and start to see a rebuilt Eorzea right before their very eyes. Once the player base is strengthened, we may start to see a few expansions to help make the game that much more enjoyable.

The potential is there, and it's make or break time for SE...all we can do is wait tirelessly for the next few patches until we start to see a rebuilt Eorzea unfold right before our very eyes.

Thing is i thought of the pay to play change and the PS3 release. It's actually the PS3 version i'm worried about. It says, on wiki, the game recieved a unfavorable reaction from the players and that the average review gives 4.9 out of 10.

Those evaluations are not helping and i was actually wondering of a way to make then move into the better. Personnally i think a free trial woudn't hurt. Do you have any good idea to tip the scale?

EDIT: Little bit of clarification here. Free trial as in lvl 10 cap, 7-14 day, no chat free accounts. Buy the game to remove the limitations. and continue into the extended free 30 days.

Only the PC version of the game was reviewed, and there will likely be a re-review of the game once the relaunch happens. I DO think that a "free trial" (knowing SE, probably first month free to play) is a great incentive for new players and maybe new critics alike to test out some of the updates SE has applied since launch. It is only at that point will everyone see if SE has succeeded in rebuilding the game or if everything up to this point has been in vain. No one can really predict what each and every individual player will experience
