I honestly don't know, 1.20 may prove enough to keep me around through 1.21 and the Job system, or it might not. It's no longer a question of whether it's something I feel like spending my time on, it's also a matter of whether or not it's something I feel like spending my money on.

Personally I think we have free-loaded it long enough, and once they get a damn mailbox in there, I see no reason why I shouldn't be paying a sub.

I am hoping they rethink the pricing though, 12 euros is a lot.

free loading would be saying we have been getting a quality product during this whole time. has that been the case? no. any time we have any kind of complaint it is we will fix it in the future. it can be things like basic ls options we asked about a year ago, horrible server optimization, or a mail box system and the answer is always in the future. if they can't get basic things fixed in a year there's no way i am going to spend money for another year in hopes that basic things expected at release will finally be implemented.

once they do their job and get the game release ready then i would be willing to pay for it, but not the garbage we have now.

I'll probably take a month or two off the game, maybe not. Once I get settled in a new house then I can probably start back up again. I don't mind paying even if it feels a bit too early, but i know its going towards 2.0, so that makes it feel much more worth it.

It's a bold move to charge now for an essentially "old game" that get's completely replaced in about a years time. Can people really enjoy this game now with the information and screen shots we just received?

In addition we don't even know if this game ever reaches the 2.0 Stage. There is no guarantee that SE will ever release it. 2013 for the PS3 release is pretty late in the consoles life cycle, we might see new consoles by then.

I doubt more than 50% will stay with a full price subscription. The game just barely hangs on to it's current customer base because it is free. Looking at it from Squares point of view, 50% is better than nothing i guess.

I am myself still subscribed to FFXI and not going to change that. If there is a package deal for FFXI+FFXIV that is reasonable (Euro 20 a month), maybe.

Right now i am just not enjoying the game enough to be willing to pay full price. It's simply too frustrating in so many aspects, especially combat.

Until something dramatically changes, i will not subscribe and stay with FFXI, it's still going very strong and has so much content it'll last me for more than a year easy.

No

As some of the players said in this thread,im not going to pay 15 EUROS/DOLLARS in a game that it's still in a "beta".I'm down if they reduce the fee from 15 euros to 8 or 10 Euros/dollars a month until 2.0 comes out.
I really love the game and the community (in my server),but paying that money for this? typical move of a Business man.
*Oh,HEY! i have no idea about games but they're going to add LOTS of new content even it's not out yet!!! let's start charging fees to them!!!* oh please...IT'S NOT OUR GOD DAMMIT FAULT IF THE GAME IS NOT COMPLETE.

Only thing i regret about not paying is that im not going to able to continue playing with my ls mates and helping them.

Final Fantasy XIV 2.0 ill be waiting for you.

Personally, I think its time. I am happy to now support the game I have been playing for a year now. I will also be content in knowing that my financial contribution will go toward making this game even better in the long run. Take care people that leave when they start charging. You won't be missed and please don't let the door hit you on the fekkin way out.

i swear some responses by arrogant people make it even easier for people to walk away. the biggest flaw se has to contend with is the most arrogant and rude community around.
