Unofficial poll predicts 47% will leave when fee is implemented

[Quesse]

Not too surprising. Just wondering with servers half as empty as they are now, what SE will do about it.

Wow, 127 people truly represent all the player-base.
That's a really tiny sample, it's in no way useable in real statistics.

just remember that is the NA population, FFXIV is the MMORPG in japan and their population is high

Not to mention with how expensive Tera is in Japan, XIV (and XI) are the cheaper MMOs around (barring that XIV is around 8-15$USD) so yeah, a little cost won't really stray many from XIV.

I for one am Excited and plan on staying. I believe most of the really active people will obviously stay because we love the game and can't wait for it to improve.

lol you can't really trust a pol on Zam, one here would be better since only folks who actually still log in once in a while have access.

[Alhanelem]

Zam is a terrible site anyway. Take anything you see there with a massive hunk of salt.

[Ruisu]

I already enjoy the game as is, despite it being unfinished. I'll deal with the $13 a month.

[MeowyWowie]

Polls here indicate that 2:1 will stay. But who cares about polls anyways? If you like the game, stay. If not, don't.

All SE needs to do is put off the subscription until 1.21 when jobs come out. Something big like jobs would entice people more to subscribe. I don't see anything in 1.20 that makes me jitter with excitement like jobs do. I really hope they reconsider the sub fees before the end of 2011 and have them coincide with the job patch instead.
