Xi started out much worse than ffxiv.

The reason xi survived was that people tried giving it a chance, for two years!

Meaning that if the game attracts payable customers in less than a year from now, it will have done better than xi.

About 50/50 would pay as of right now it seems. Those who say they wont play normally got no characters over lvl 10.

Would you pay if it became p2p now?

im lower level than you, but most likely, ive played more, cause i find it fun just running around and dfoing random shit. Would you pay if it became p2p?
no it did not
and also there was almost no competition at the time so even though ffxi had a rocky start there was no other alternatives.
By the time zilart came out a year-ish after release FFXI was great.
and then COP took it to a whole new level.

But FFXI relied on NA PC release for a huge population boost and then ps2 and xbox releases for huge boosts.

This game has ONE more chance. ps3 release. And PS3 has lost a lot of ppl cuz of the whole network failure thing and now forcing ppl to say they wont sue.

Further FFXI had fresh reviews which were -very- positive on NA release. This game will -never- get fresh reviews. Its 5.0ish average will haunt it for years, especially on the meta-review sites that average out all the reviews.

and no offence but i seriously doubt you've played more. I was the only real person to release as solo guide at release and after 1.18 so i've literally killed every mob in the game. I've pretty well experianced everything in this game.

And no i probably wouldn't pay .
