Only one Supporter as of this post... No prizes for guessing who that might be.

Given the servers have been the target of a DDoS in recent months, I fail to see why you're solely blaming new players. It's possible that an influx of newcomers is partially to blame, but I don't buy it myself. Besides... who the heck actually pays attention to an online petition? They're about as binding as a four year olds attempt at a double blood knot.

It's because the OP is from Chille and I guess experiences more lag on free player weekends <_< I don't support this petition and the only thing I can suggest is for the OP to subscribe to a service such as WTFast to improve their lag.

Im a customer. As customer i want to feel always a good service. I paid my feed everymonth. All i want is a good service. If square want new players this must be enabled in new player worlds.

SE is not going to stop the free users it help SE get more players to pay for this game. Which end up making more money which make the game better. Also making all free users into there own world would end up making free users not play. They be like wow no one really playing this game.

I feel your lag issue is more due to the fact that you live in Chile and the servers are at Quebec Canada. Also could be bad ISP or a bad hub connection somewhere down the line in south or even that bad hub in USA that lag most USA users.

Your issue can be even your computer hardware not being strong enough to even play ffxiv. You did not give us a lot of information so i'm guessing it could be anything but free users is not one of them. My world is full all the time and i even have to wait in line for about 1-3m to even get in and i don't see lag anywhere in the game.

Friends from Mexico and Costa Rica have the same problem. I dunno if Chile is the country with more players in FFXIV.

Mexico, Costa Rica, and Chile all have to pass through the same centers. There are some complicated issues with how the connections are routed to Canada (Level3 is...not well liked) that make even people who play on low pop servers in Chicago lag to hell.
Rather than filing a petition for something that could potentially KILL the game, make one to upgrade the servers and/or relocate the data centers.
The former is actually happening and will happen by heavensward according to the dev team, while the latter will likely never happen since moving a data center is akin to moving an office building.

Need to get more than the existing 600k subs somehow and make the rest of those inactive subs from those 2.5+mil accounts created come back for at least another month if they're lucky. That's also why they moved around most of the money making stuff to the top on the Lodestone and why the trial is the top thing featured there, with unimportant stuff money wise was moved to the bottom like the Dev Blog and the fankits.

Lag is less about trials and more about the cheap servers they got at launch to cut costs, servers that haven't been upgraded since then aside from that one time shortly after release, despite the game being "successful" to afford better ones. Here's hoping they actually do something for Heavensward, especially because a lot of the lag issues are by design, i.e. invisible animation locks, HP increase and decrease operations taking almost a full second to process, etc.

Long story short OP, it's not going to happen.

Trial accounts are a good way to let people try the game that are curious but don't want to waste their money on something they don't enjoy.
MMOs constantly needs new players.

Even if the influx of trial players was causing the server to crash, the only thing that would be done would be decreasing the max logged in player limit on the servers. And if the queues to log in became a problem, they would open new servers.

But the last thing square-enix would do is turn away players.

I'm not sure I see a problem with this either. I would actually appreciate having new players on the game. Of course, I'm sort of one myself lol.
